Books I've Loved Reading So Far in 2019

Today I thought I would share with you, all the books that I’ve loved reading so far this year. While we only have a few months left of 2019, (what the hell???) I think it’s about time that I showed a little more love for the books that have made my year.

I’ve had a strange year for reading for me. I’ve been reading a lot of romance books, a lot. And I don’t even know why. It’s just really what I’ve been in the mood to read. If I haven’t said already, I am a massive mood reader. Anyway, here are the books that I’ve been loving so far this year.

Unearthly series by Cynthia Hand: I’ve been wanting to pick up this series for some time, and I finally did it at the start of the year. And I just loved it. It had so much that I really loved. The romance was great, the world was fantastic and everything in between made it better. You can check out my full series review now as well.

Flight & Glory series by Rebecca Yarros: So I did a re-read of this series at the start of the year and I feel in love with the characters all over again. This series just gets me every time I read it. I feel every emotion, every heartbreak. And I will feel it, over and over again.

A Curse So Dark and Lonely (Cursebreakers #1) by Brigid Kemmerer: I don’t think there should be any surprise that this one is on my list. I will shout to the world about how much I love this book. I was captivated by the characters, world, and the plot from the very first chapter. With fantastic world-building, character arcs and a plot that just keeps giving. Full Review

Appetites & Vices (The Truitts #1) by Felicia Grossman: This is one of the first historical romance novels I read and I’ve fallen in love. It was engaging, heartwarming and heartbreaking. The romance was great and the writing was fantastic. This fulled my love for reading historical romances this year for sure. Full Review.

More Than We Can Tell (Letters to the Lost #2) by Brigid Kemmerer: I never understand why I put off reading books from my favourite authors, and this was one of those books. I adored Letters to the Lost, and while I didn’t love More Than We Can Tell as much. It was still a fantastic read, that warmed my heart so damn much.

The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros: Again no one should be surprised that this one has made my list. This book broke me. I cried so much while reading, and after finishing it. But it was also so beautiful. If you like emotional reads, that deals with hard issues, but it also incredibly beautiful then this is for you. You can also check out my full review.

Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte: As one of my most anticipated reads this year, I was really looking forward to picking up Four Dead Queens, and I wasn’t disappointed. It has so many elements that just make the story even better. I loved the world, the characters, and I adored the storyline. Full Review.

Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston: I love this book so damn much. It’s perfect. I love the romance, the protagonists, the plot. Everything. If you haven’t picked this book up – please, please do. You can also check out my discussion with Ely, where we talk a lot about this one.

The French Photographer by Natasha Lester: This one was a ‘Book of the Month,’ at work, and I simply fell in love. It shows the effects the war had on not only the lives of people but also their relationships and how trying to move on from the war. If you are looking for a historical fiction that embodies feminism, strength and seeing the war from the female perspective then this is for you. Full Review.

Serious Moonlight by Jenn Bennett: It’s a Jenn Bennett, of course, I was going to love it. It’s a great combination of mystery and contemporary that captures real characters. With writing that is easy to read, the characters float off the page. Jenn Bennett is able to create a story that is easy to follow and to fall in love with. Full Review.

The Wallflowers, The Hathaways and the Ravenels series by Lisa Kleypas: I have read them all this year and have fallen in love with each and every one. I can’t really pick my favourite, they all have their highlights that just work for me. If you are looking for some historical romance – then pick any of Lisa’s up.

Dalliances & Devotion (The Truitts #2) by Felicia Grossman: While I didn’t love this one as book 1, I still really enjoyed everything about it. It was fun,intense and full of romance. It’s a great second chance romance in a historical setting. With a female character that is strong and willing to do what it takes for herself. Full review.

Serpent & Dove (Serpent & Dove #1) by Shelby Mahurin: I finished this one last night and I need to start talking about it. This book is fantastic and brilliant and perfect. And omg. More people need to read this! It’s a great new fantasy series that I cannot wait to devour. I’m hoping to post my full review in the coming week.

And that is it! That’s all the books I’ve loved so far in 2019. It’s a lot, I know. But I’ve also over 130 books so far this year, so it’s a good balance. What are some of the books that you’ve loved reading so far this year? Do we share any that’s the same? Let’s Chat!
