2019 was a great year for me in terms of writing (my first book got published!) and living (I spent the summer writing and doing small roadtrips and camping trips with friends, and I went to Prague and Austria again in May!) but it wasn’t what I’d hoped for in terms of reading unfortunately.
I only read 44 books instead of the 52 I’d set for myself, and I feel like I DNFd a lot of books this year, but I’m still really proud of everything I’ve accomplished in the last year.
But without further ado, here’s my Top 10 Books I Read in 2019!
TEN: Sorcery of Thorns
Such a magical world! For every book lover! 🙂
NINE: Saga, Volumes 4-9
This series is better end well because I love them all so much!
EIGHT: The Cost of Living
I loved the first one so much, and this was just as amazing. Writers, travelers, or anyone really, you should read these.
SEVEN: Big Little Lies
I LOVED THIS SO MUCH. It had me laughing and crying and screaming because I needed to know so bad WHAT HAD HAPPENED DURING THAT FREAKING TRIVIA NIGHT.
Amazingly-written.
SIX: Des Papillons pis des Fins du Monde
The third of a series I read from a Quebec author that I absolutely adore. These are just soooo funny and lovely.
FIVE: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Had to do a reread of a Harry Potter book because I was so damn nostalgic. And I was surprised at how much I loooved this one, in my memories it was my least favorite.
FOUR: The Art of Feeling
When I heard this book was about a teenager with congenital insensitivity to pain (like my book Devonna!) I HAD to read it. AND OMG I COULDN’T PUT THIS DOWN.
THREE: Maybe Someday
Colleen Hoover has a way to write books I just devour. And this one is probably my favorite. The feels. THE SONGS.
TWO: A Darker Shade of Magic
Okay, okay, THIS. This was like a movie in my head while I read, and it was so damn amazing. And I’m currently reading the second book of the trilogy and I cannot wait to see what happens.
ONE: The Raven Cycle Series
AHHHHHHH. I wrote a whole post on 10 Reasons Why this Series is Awesome
Just wow.
That’s it for me!

I keep seeing “A Darker Shade of Magic” (and the first book but I can’t remember its title) pop up in my searches on BookOutlet.com whenever I’m looking for new books to add to my wishlist. The next time that the site has a good sale, I’ll be ordering it! (Thank goodness that my sister and mom know how much I shop on BookOutlet, because I got a good amount of Christmas gift card $$ to shop there haha… they can’t complain about my book piles since they’re basically enabling it haha)
44 books is still good! Good luck with your 2020 reading! 🙂 Do you have any goals for 2020?

But number one is definitely to publish my first book in French 🙂 and number two to go to Japan! (Destination may change, but current mood is defo Japan haha) What are your goals? 🙂
