19 Books I Want to Read in 2019
To welcome the new year, here are nineteen books that I intend to read in 2019! These books are in no particular order, and I want to read most if not all of these books over the course of the year. 1. Brave New World I love dystopia, especially the classics and Brave New World is one of the big ones that I haven’t read yet. I have a paperback copy that a friend loaned me, but I also recently purchased a gorgeous edition from penguin as part of a set.

A stunning thriller that is difficult to put down, I ended up reading it in one sitting.

Well I’m about to get called out this Christmas but I feel like I’ve been pretty terrible about reading and blogging this year.

It’ll be interesting to see how things went this year but I know that things aren’t looking too good fam. I spotted this adorable tag on Paper Fury, and…

End of the Year 2018 Book Tag
My goodness this year has flown by fast, we’re already almost halfway through December! I didn’t realize until I started seeing the end of the year book tags start rolling out, so I figured I should write one as well. I spotted this tag on Reader Voracious, Kaleena has a wonderful blog that you all should check out! ARE THERE ANY BOOKS YOU STARTED THIS YEAR THAT YOU NEED TO FINISH? There are quite a lot of books that I put back on my shelf, mostly due to reading slumps and library due dates. I got to around the halfway mark for these books and so I want to make…
