We're going to do a shorter and more realistic list this year. For the past couple of years, I literally added like every single book I read but this year, we're going to do the ones that really meant a lot to me. This still will be quite an extensive list but it will shorter and more honest this year.
So basically five- or six-star books only!
2018 was a tougher year for me book-wise because there weren't a lot of books that I was really too interested in reading. Nothing HUGE came out that I deemed worthwhile to read. I tried to get through my ever-growing to-read list but that's not happening any time soon. I reread a ton of books, which I'm going to try to do a little less of for 2019.
Last year, I linked all of the titles to the Goodreads page and this year I'm going to do the same but also link it to my review, which is going to take a lot longer but I'm going to get through it!
This is going in order from when I read it, not from favorite to least favorite or vice versa.
I never thought this day would come but here ya go:
