Critics' Top Books of 2019

Last year I wrote a post looking at various critics' top 5 or 10 books of 2019.  It was interesting and definitely gave me a few more books to add to my never ending to-read list.  So I thought I'd do it again this year.  So, while you await my picks for my favorite books of 2019 (which I don't create until January though believe me I'm thinking about it all year long), here's a look at what some of the critics have to say about the best books published in 2019.
