Those all sound so good!!! <br /><br />The criminal justice system makes me so sad. We watched a heartbreaking special on TV, "Justice for All" about the US Criminal Justice system a while back. I highly recommend it, but it is so sad.

I'm also about halfway through The Most Fun We Ever Had right now and loving it, so it may make the list as well! I think I'm going to split my 2019 favourite list into favourite audiobooks and favourite books I read as 2019 was the year I really got into audiobooks, about 10 or 11 of the books I consumed this year were in the audio format. <br /><br />I didn't love Inheritance as much as you did. I listened to it and I actually did think the author came off a bit "whiny" and also just didn't really like her that much for some reason, I felt distanced from her and for some reason had trouble finding a lot of empathy for her. I don't know why! But it was a super super interesting book and some of the stats in the book about the number of people who are finding out their parents aren't their parents through these DNA testing sites (I want to say she cited a state of around 1 in 1000 or something?) is quite staggering!
