Favorite Books by the Month 2019

Time for a traditional best books of the year post! These are the best book I read this year. They weren’t necessarily published in 2019.

Complete with pictures and links for your convenience to add to your TBR.

January

To Best The Boys by Mary Weber

To Best The Boys was a delightful standalone. If you love Audrey Rose from Stalking Jack the Ripper, you’re going to like Rhen.

February

The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden

The Bear and the Nightingale is such a cozy Winter read. Adult fiction is slower paced than YA fiction. It takes a while to get used to but is worth sticking with.

March

Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

I still can’t believe I got an ARC of this. It’s no surprise that I loved it.

April

The Strangers by Margaret Peterson Haddix

I love MPH’s books. I devoured this in an afternoon.

May

Brightly Burning by Alexa Donne

Science fiction and Jane Eyre? Yes, please.

June

Legendary by Stephanie Garber

I ended up liking this more than Caraval.

July

Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte

I love a good murder mystery so the additional fantasy elements were fantastic for me.

August

Scythe by Neal Shusterman

Neal is a twisted genius.

September

The Moon and More by Sarah Dessen

This was a pleasant surprise. It also kicked off my Sarah Dessen audio binge.

October

Dead Voices by Katherine Arden

I definitely prefer Katherine’s MG books to her adult books. Perfectly spooky.

November

The Death of Mrs. Westaway by Ruth Ware

I love a good mystery so this was delightful. I ended up working my way through her entire back list this year.

December

Changeling by William Ritter [review to come]

Fun fantasy and wonderful tones of family and love.
