My favorite books I have read in 2019

Ring in the new year! It is that time again.......what were my favorite books I have read in 2019? So I struggled a bit with deciding what to do as I am sure many bloggers have as well. What if some of the best books I have read are not even published yet?! Well that was the case with 3 yes 3 of my top reads. Well, I have decided to include them because this is the BEST of the BEST that I have READ in 2019.....so here we go!

I am not putting these in any particular order because, well that would just be too hard! I am going to end the year with finishing up 112 fab books but these 10 really stood out to me...thanks for taking the time to check out my top picks! I highly recommend all!

OMG OMG OMG!!! Yes I am speechless as I finished up my most anticipated book of the year! It not only lived up to my expectations, it far exceeded them! Whew, how is this a debut? I mean really I am floored that this is Samantha Downing's first book. New thriller queen in the house!

Gothic, creepy, a house with a hideous history...OMG yes please!!Granted the house has an extensive history, I mean don't all old homes? That is what Rowan told herself when she applied for the job. Okay Rowan, you just keep telling yourself that.  This was hands down my favorite book by Ruth Ware! I always enjoy her books but this one blew me away.

First of all...hello...it's Peter Swanson! He is like the master of thrillers! This book rendered me speechless! Not even out until March 3, 2020! I am such a lucky girl to get my hands on this dark, twisty thriller. Side note........thanks for not killing off the cat...extra, extra bonus points for that! 

 This book was so flipping wrong, but right up my alley! Everyone involved in the book is not really likable but who cares, it made them all the more interesting. I found myself holding my breath during the last chapter because it was just that crazy.

 First I wondered what the heck is a Verity when I saw the title. Then I figured out Verity was going to be one of our main characters and she is something else. If you did not know, the definition of her name is "the quality or state of being truthful or honest." Hmm well that certainly is interesting. The whole book I was shocked, repulsed and quite frankly scared of her. She is an intimidating woman.

Coming soon! Publication date is January 28, 2020! Hands down Tutor's best book in my opinion! An absolute thrill ride that kept my mind in high gear for the entire read. Fingers crossed that you have not pissed off the "other people" and they are crossing you off their list! EEK!

Not out until April 21, 2020...
This was so damn good! I will admit, I went into this blind, didn't read reviews, the blurb, nothing. I just saw that it was the author of one of my top reads last year ( Jar of Hearts) and I grabbed it as quick as I could. First off the title is perfect! Little secrets...more like BIG secrets! These people all have secrets! We are not talking about I went out and bought a sweater and shoes I don't need and hid them at the back of my closet secrets. We are talking about...you are going to jail for a long time secrets- if you are caught! 

 Holy hell this was single white female on crack. I loved, loved, loved this book! I flew through this book in less than a day, staying up late into the night. A story filled with manipulation, jealously, obsession and pure evil. One of my favorite books so far this year! This author has quickly been added to my list of must read authors!

This book touched on something that I can't even put into the words. I felt emotionally overwhelmed for several hours after finishing. I felt a sense of personal loss, which I never feel like this when reading a book. I had to keep reminding myself that it is a BOOK and it is a work of fiction. 

Out on January 14, 2020! I loved this book! Wow! All the stars for this fantastic debut. This book puts the W in WTF!!! I mean this is one twisted domestic thriller. Honestly one of my favorite books I have read this year.
