2019 was a solid reading year for myself, if not as great as I was hoping it would be. However, I did get to read some amazing books and find new favorite authors so I can’t complain too much. I can’t wait to look back on everything that I’ve read over the past year!

My reading life took a bit of a hit this year from going into so many random reading slumps, which has really affected my will to actually post regularly. It’s something I’m really hoping to not have an issue with this coming year.

Oh, I wish I could have read all those books in 2019. I was more focused on romance and set aside YA and Fantasy for a while. Looks like I need to add some titles on my TBR. Thanks for sharing!

Loved reading your list! I haven’t read Priory of the Orange Tree but heard great things about it. I’m sorry it was a miss for you! I totally agree with you on Lifelik3! That book was amazing! I haven’t read the second book yet but I plan to read it next month. I’m also excited for Aurora Burning!

Yeah, it just took too long to really get me invested in the story but I know it worked for a lot of people. I haven’t read the second book either but I can’t wait to pick it up!
