Hello, Lovelies!
I thought it would be fun to take you through my voting process for the Goodreads Choice Awards 2019! Basically, I will show you who I voted for each round and then show you the winners!
How I vote:
- I vote for books that I believe were well written, had an interesting plot, and dynamic characters
- If I have not read any of the books in a category, I read the descriptions and reviews and make an educated decision of which I am likely to enjoy if read.
