My 2019 Book List

Happy New Year friends! We're probably all back to our normal routines by now and the holidays seem like they were ages ago! As we kick off 2019, I want to continue challenging myself to read 50 books this year. For the past few years I have tried to do this - some years were more successful than others but either way I loved transporting myself into a new story each time I picked up a new book. Check out a summary of the books I've read over the years here: 2016, 2017, 2018.

My goal is to continue making my way through the Time's All Time Top 100 List. I plan to continuously update this post throughout the year as I finish these books, and I'll mark the Time's books with an asterisk.

You can follow me on goodreads here in case you're interested to follow my books and check out my ratings! Thanks for stopping by!
