Happy 2019 Book Lovers!
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly Meme hosted by That Artsy Reader
Girl.
This week’s meme is: Best Books I Read in 2018!
I can’t believe 2019 is here so fast! This past year seemed to
just fly by. I didn’t read a lot, but fortunately I did discover some books
that I loved. Take a look at my list below. It was very hard narrowing the list
down to 10 only! Clicking the book covers will take you to Goodreads.
The Death of Mrs. Westaway by Ruth Ware – I loved the writing in this book. The mystery wasn’t completely obvious and Hal was a great character.
The Vanishing Season (Ellery Hathaway #1) by Joanna Schaffhausen – I loved the main character in this book. She is a survivor and she doesn’t care whose feathers she ruffles as long as justice is served. The mystery portion was well done.
Blood Type
(Blood Type #1) by K.A. Linde – I was unsure about this book when
I first started it. The more I read, the more pulled into the story I got. It’s
not your typical paranormal romance that’s for sure.
Daughters
of the Lake by Wendy Webb – This was a very atmospheric gothic
style read. I enjoyed following Kate on her journey and seeing the outcome of everything
play out.
Josh & Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating by Christina Lauren – This was my top read of 2018. It was a very cute friends to lover romance. It made me laugh and smile all throughout the book.
Hate Notes by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward – This romance was as laugh out loud funny as it was sweet and swoon worthy.
Risk: Part
1 by Nina Levine – This one is a romance quickie. Shorty and steamy. I
loved the two main characters and I cannot wait to see what happens in Part 2.
Midnight
Wolf (Shifters Unbound #11) by Jennifer Ashley – I fell in
love with the two main characters. They are both headstrong and capable of
handling themselves, yet when they are together it works perfectly. This
paranormal romance was so easy to devour.
Promises
& Primroses (Mayfield Family #1) by Josi Kilpack – I adored
this historical romance. The main character is strong and independent,
especially for that time period.
Murder
Notes & Murder Girl (Lilah Love #1 & #2) by Lisa Renee Jones – I love
this series. The mystery aspect is well done and the romance is not overdone.
I haven't read any of these books, but they do look good fun! :-) I hope you have as good time reading in 2019. Happy New Year! My TTT
