Readers of DorothyL listserv posted the memorable books read in 2019. The count represents the number of times each title was included in the “voting”. Below are the twenty-three most-cited titles. All of the titles are available in the regional catalog, usually with multiple libraries and multiple formats. Minnesota’s own William Kent Krueger was not among the top vote-getters this year, although P.J. Tracy made it! Back on top this year is seven-time “winner” Louise Penny who somehow was not represented among the top books a year ago.
