Book Tag: Top Books of 2019

Hi guys!
It's time to announce my top reads of 2019.
2019 was full of many amazing reads! I read 89 books this year, and broke down my favorites to 




In no particular order my Top reads of 2019 are


 YA & Fantasy books

* The Cruel Prince and The Wicked King by Holly Black. I loved her world of the Fae and cannot wait to continue the story with Queen of Nothing.

* An Emperor of Evening Stars, Strange the Hymn and Dark Harmony by Laura Thalassa. (Not Pictured) I loved continuing the Bargainer series this year, and the world Laura portrayed. 

Paranormal Romance

*Dead of Night, Dark of Night, Call of Night and Still of Night by Emily Goodwin. I seriously cannot wait to continue with Lucas and Callie's story. If you love vampires and witches you need to read these books!

*Taste the Dark, Burn the Dark, Free the Dark by Nicola Rose. Yesss to more vampires. Talk about a sexy paranormal love triangle. 

Dark Romance

*Sick Fux by Tillie Cole. Think Alice in Wonderland but with a much darker tone. Murder, blood play, and characters who have gone completely mad.

*I Promise You and If You Dare by Shantel Tessier. The next installments to I Dare You and just as delicious and dark. 

Arranged Marriage

*The Kiss Thief by LJ Shen. Enemies to Lovers but with so much more. If you haven't read any of LJ Shen's books yet, I suggest you do so. She is definitely an auto-buy author for me!

Student Teacher Romance

*The Fall of Troy and The Judgement of Paris by Rebecca Sharp. So much forbidden juicy angst!

NA/Bully Romance


*The Boys of Brayshaw High, Trouble at Brayshaw High, Reign of Brayshaw by Meagan Brandy. These books were AMAZING and are a must read. 

*Pretty Reckless and Broken Knight by LJ Shen. More than bullies and enemies. More than friends to lovers. Filled with sooo much angst and drama.

*Cruel Intentions, Twisted Betrayal, and Sweet Retribution by Siobhan Davis. More than just your typical bullies. Secrets, lies, deceit & family ties are packed in these books. 

*The Peer and the Puppet, the Moth and the Flame, and the Punk and the Plaything by BB Reid. These can be read as stand alones but best to read in order to get the full experience. Each book is about a different couple- but follow a bigger storyline and soo worth it. 

*Kiss & Break Up and Forever & Never by Ella Fields. Loved it! If you love the NA romance books with bullies, and angst then grab up these books!

*In Peace Lies Havoc by Amo Jones (not pictured). Not a circus. Not a carnival. But Midnight Mayhem. Filled with mind tricks, and so much more. 

Romantic Comedy

*Tactical Heart by SK Rose. Enemies to lovers? Check. Hot gamers and nerds? Check. Fun read? Check. 

*Text Me Baby One More Time by Teagan Hunter. Conclusion to the texting series, and definitely worth the wait. It was fun, funny, and adorably sweet. 

*A Pizza My Heart and I Knead You Tonight by Teagan Hunter. A new romcom series revolving around pizza. And it was cute, and funny!

*Desperately Seeking Roommate by Michalea Smeltzer (not pictured). Opposites attract under the same roof?! Yeap. It was so funny and cute!

Sports Romance

*Teardrop Shot by Tijan. There was so much emotion behind it. I adored it!

Contemporary Romance

*Cheap Trick & Fight Dirty by Emily Goodwin. More from the large, loving Dawson family. Annnddd Hello twins!
