A friend asked me the other day how I found myself enjoying fantasy and I told her that it started when I read THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA with my family at 6 years old 🦁 It was a popular genre on the bookshelves in our home, so it came as no surprise that a few years later I was picking up THE HOBBIT and THE LORD OF THE RINGS πŸ’ I never really knew life without fantasy novels and I'm really grateful for the fact that my parents always encouraged my desire to read as many books from as many different genres as I could get my hands on πŸ“š

What are your ultimate ESCAPE reads? 🌌
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
One of the reasons I love fantasy so much is because it is the furthest thing from reality! πŸ‰ Since reading IS my escape, I appreciate books that take me somewhere else entirely - another world, another dimension, somewhere magical πŸ’«
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Some of my favorite escape reads are:
♠️ CARAVAL - Remember, it's only a game... or is it? 
✨ THE STARLESS SEA - Follow the clues: a bee, a key, and a sword.
πŸ— THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY - Secret doors written into existence. 
πŸ¦‹ STRANGE THE DREAMER - A moth, light upon the brow, can transport you into the dream.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Honestly, just typing out these titles gave me a little shiver of delight because I just love them all so much! πŸ₯Ί Have you read any of them? πŸ“š

I'll admit, I've never been the *biggest* fan of classics πŸ™ˆ I feel as though that's an abomination for a bookworm, but it's just the truth 🀭 My exceptions are anything by Louisa May Alcott (specifically Jo's Boys), The Chronicles of Narnia, and Anne of Green Gables πŸ“š I think I enjoy these because they're nostalgic for me - they're the books I grew up with πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
RENEGADES is one of the first ones I added to my list because I flew through this trilogy in a week last year and I'd like to take my time with it when I reread so I can really indulge in the incredible story πŸ¦ΈπŸ»β€β™€οΈ I also added THE LUNAR CHRONICLES (on a Marissa Meyer kick, clearly) as well as some of my comfort reads from high school like PAPER TOWNS and DELIRIUM 😱

"Do you know how you live three hundred years? she says.

15 Books I Want to Read in 2019


15 Books to Add to Your Reading List in 2019

One phrase heard most at the beginning of a new year: “I wish I read more.” So this year, let’sΒ do it.

Maybe you want to make more time for reading in 2019. I know I certainly do. I’ve always been a bookworm, and tend to frequent the libraryΒ almost as much asΒ Target. However, I’m not always great about reading aΒ lot of books in a year. Typically, I pick a series and go through the whole thing, while maybe adding a self-help or encouraging novel here and there. This year, my goal is to actually get through all the books I’ve been “putting off” for quite some time. I actually have a list, and like Santa Claus, I want to check it twice!

My book tastes haven’t varied much over the years. I’ve always loved a good fantasy or sci-fi novel, and it can actually be pretty difficult for me to find enjoyment in any other genres. I want to learn how to love books on upping my business game, or even pick up a cheesy romance here and there (my mom always called these “fluff” books – but they can be fun)! If you keep reading, you’ll see all 15 books I have on my “to-read” list. Have you browsed through any of them, yourself?

15 Books to Add to Your Reading List in 2019

15 Books to Add to Your Reading List in 2019

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them // J.K. Rowling

Well, considering the fact that I’m not even halfway through “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” and I’m already tempted to read the entire series over again once finished, I know that this willΒ somewhat fill that void. The movies have already become favorites of mine, so I’m quite interested in reading the screenplay.

In Conclusion, Don’t Worry About It // Lauren Graham

Lauren Graham not only plays my favorite television character of all time, Lorelai Gilmore, but she’s also an incredibly intellectual writer. Her wit in her writing is just as evident as it is in her acting, which makes reading all the more enjoyable. I’m really looking forward to reading her advice for those who just haven’t accomplishedΒ everything (yet).

Milk and Honey // Rupi Kaur

Honestly, this has been on my “to-read” list since the moment it came out, yet I still haven’t had the opportunity to actually sit down with it. I’ve always had a special place in my heart for poetry, and the style of poetry in this book seems to speak volumes.

Uninvited: Living Loved When You Feel Less Than, Left Out, and Lonely // Lysa TerKeurst

I’ve had this book suggested to me on numerous occasions. As someone who has definitely felt rejected at times (haven’t we all?), I’m interested in learning more about what Lysa has to say when it comes to God’s perspective on the matter.

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before // Jenny Han

I’m bandwagon-ing on this one since I loved the movie SO.DANG.MUCH. Seriously, I’ve already watched it more times than I can count. I know this is actually a series of books, and as someone who used to swear by reading the book before the movie, I at least want to get a head start before the next movie makes its debut (since I’m behind on reading the first one).

Crazy Rich Asians // Kevin Kwan

Also a book-made-movie, I’m curious of the differences between this particular series and the film. I think I wanted to love the movie so much more because of all the hype. Maybe reading the book will give me a different outlook on the story.

When Life Gives You Lululemons // Lauren Weisberger

Ah yes, the author of “Devil Wears Prada.” I already have high hopes for this long-anticipated sequal, since I love the original story with all my heart. I mean, Miranda Priestly =Β QUEEN.

Legendary: A Caraval Novel // Stephanie Garber

Earlier in 2018, I read Stephanie’s “Caraval,” and completely fell in love. In fact, I believe I read it in 2 days because I was so hooked on the plot. I love a book that will take you for a ride, and this one certainly accomplishes that. I even tweeted Stephanie immediately after finishing her book, just to tell her how excited I was for the next installment, and she retweeted me! I know, I know – #nerd.

Throne of Glass // Sarah J. Maas

I actually began this book a couple of years ago, and never got the opportunity to finish it. As someone who loves a good fantasy series, I’m constantly seeing this as a recommended read when browsing the library catalog. 2019 will be the year I finally finish it and see what all the hype is about.

Everybody Always // Bob Goff

Bob Goff really plucked at my heartstrings with “Love Does,” so I’ve been wanting to read this extra badly. He has a way of greatly encouraging you while simultaneously pushing you to justΒ do it, and I love that.

Girl, Wash Your Face // Rachel Hollis

This has become such a controversial book, that I think I’ll be reading it purely out of intrigue. It seems like everyone has something different to say, and I would definitely like to form my own opinion. Especially since this is such a popular pick in the influencer world.

You are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life // Jen Sincero

I can certainly have a tendency to be very self-critical, and could always use a little boost. I’ve heard only excellent reviews about this book!

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life // Mark Manson

I’ve not even gotten to read this book yet, and I’m already recommending it to others. I think, like the Rachel Hollis book, I’m curious to form my own opinion on this particular approach to life.

Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear // Elizabeth Gilbert

As a self-employed creative, I’m always searching for ways to stay motivated and continue pursuing my dreams. Any book that provides wisdom and insight on that subject, while also encouraging me to keep going is a book that I want to read!

99 Percent Mine: A Novel // Sally Thorne

I read Sally’s “The Hating Game” a few months ago and laughed and cried my way through it in no time. She’s got a very sassy writing style, while still keeping things upbeat and sexy. The second I put down that book, I knew I wanted to read another one written by her. I was stoked to see this one on Amazon!

    I always told myself I was going to read more after I only read a measly 23 books last year, and now we’re only 22 days into the year and I’ve already read 8! I’m over the moon, and forgot how much I love reading. To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before and Crazy Rich Asians are already on my to read list, but I didn’t know Lauren Graham had another book out! I read Talking As Fast As I Can when it came out and really enjoyed it, so I’ll have to look out for her new book!

    I’m totally guilt of saying I’m going to read more… and then not holding up my end of the bargain. πŸ™ This year, I’m hoping to read a book a month — which is WAY LESS than I used to read, but somehow I just don’t have any time in my day! (story of my life). No surprise I love your pick for Fantastic Beasts, and I am determined to read Crazy Rich Asians too! Also, if you love sci-fi, you should check out 11/22/63 by Stephen King — not a horror book, but a trip back in time to prevent the assassination of JFK! Definitely a good (but long) read.

    I really enjoyed reading the Fantastic Beasts screenplay, it’s a good addition to the movie! I read The Subtle Art and was pretty excited before I started it, but ended up not liking it. The first 50 pages were great, but after that I disagreed with a lot of what he said. I’m always curious to hear what other people think of it.

I’m over the moon, and forgot how much I love reading. To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before and Crazy Rich Asians are already on my to read list, but I didn’t know Lauren Graham had another book out! I read Talking As Fast As I Can when it came out and really enjoyed it, so I’ll have to look out for her new book!

A friend asked me the other day how I found myself enjoying fantasy and I told her that it started when I read THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA with my family at 6 years old 🦁 It was a popular genre on the bookshelves in our home, so it came as no surprise that a few years later I was picking up THE HOBBIT and THE LORD OF THE RINGS πŸ’ I never really knew life without fantasy novels and I'm really grateful for the fact that my parents always encouraged my desire to read as many books from as many different genres as I could get my hands on πŸ“š

What are your ultimate ESCAPE reads? 🌌
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
One of the reasons I love fantasy so much is because it is the furthest thing from reality! πŸ‰ Since reading IS my escape, I appreciate books that take me somewhere else entirely - another world, another dimension, somewhere magical πŸ’«
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Some of my favorite escape reads are:
♠️ CARAVAL - Remember, it's only a game... or is it? 
✨ THE STARLESS SEA - Follow the clues: a bee, a key, and a sword.
πŸ— THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY - Secret doors written into existence. 
πŸ¦‹ STRANGE THE DREAMER - A moth, light upon the brow, can transport you into the dream.
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Honestly, just typing out these titles gave me a little shiver of delight because I just love them all so much! πŸ₯Ί Have you read any of them? πŸ“š

Do you enjoy reading classic literature? 🀎
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I'll admit, I've never been the *biggest* fan of classics πŸ™ˆ I feel as though that's an abomination for a bookworm, but it's just the truth 🀭 My exceptions are anything by Louisa May Alcott (specifically Jo's Boys), The Chronicles of Narnia, and Anne of Green Gables πŸ“š I think I enjoy these because they're nostalgic for me - they're the books I grew up with πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I found myself stating, "I need to read that again," on a regular basis, so I put together a list of some of the books and series I'd like to revisit in 2021 πŸ“ Now I really can't wait to dive into some old favorites and even different formats of recent reads πŸ“–
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
RENEGADES is one of the first ones I added to my list because I flew through this trilogy in a week last year and I'd like to take my time with it when I reread so I can really indulge in the incredible story πŸ¦ΈπŸ»β€β™€οΈ I also added THE LUNAR CHRONICLES (on a Marissa Meyer kick, clearly) as well as some of my comfort reads from high school like PAPER TOWNS and DELIRIUM 😱

Do you write down book quotes as you read them? πŸ“
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I don't like to mark my books in any way, but I do want to remember the quotes that impact me as I read ✍🏼 I'll update my Goodreads progress, jot down a note in my phone, or sometimes I'll even take photos of the book and "highlight" the photo πŸ˜‚
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
One of my recent favorite quotes was this:
"Do you know how you live three hundred years? she says.
And when he asks how, she smiles. "The same way you live one. A second at a time." - The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue (aka quite possibly the most quotable book I've ever read) πŸ’«

When I read Instructions for Dancing, it made me miss ballroom dancing, which is something I did for 3 years in high school! πŸ‘  I haven't danced like that in so long, but reading this inspired me to begin practicing some again (even if it's in my room, by myself πŸ˜‚)
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
I absolutely loved every minute of what was yet another masterpiece by one of my forever favorite authors, @nicolayoon 🀍 So thankful that I was able to read the ARC via @netgalley and I've already pre-ordered the physical copy to read again when it comes out in June! 🌸

Personally, I think that trilogies are the exact perfect length for a series (not too long, but not too short) πŸ™ˆ Maybe that's why some of my favorite books are part of trilogies! πŸ€” I was thinking about this so much that I actually wrote a full blog post about it last week and I'm now on the hunt to find more trilogies to add to my ever-growing list πŸ“
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Some of my forever favorites are:
πŸ’Œ TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE
πŸ¦ΈπŸ»β€β™€οΈ RENEGADES
πŸŽͺ CARAVAL
πŸ–€ A DARKER SHADE OF MAGIC
πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¬ CRAZY RICH ASIANS
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Have you read any of these? πŸ“–

Are you a fan of MARVEL SUPERHEROES? πŸ¦ΈπŸ½β€β™‚οΈ

To say I'm a huge Marvel nerd would be an understatement! πŸ™ˆ I love learning more about the characters in comics and graphic novels so I was thrilled to receive an ARC of MILES MORALES: SHOCK WAVES by one of my all-time favorite authors, @justinwritesya (release date: June 1, 2021) πŸ•Έ
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
This story was compelling, heartwarming, and wonderfully-written, and I loved that it also brought into play some very real discussions about everyday challenges πŸ™ŒπŸΌ If you like MARVEL, SPIDER-MAN, or GRAPHIC NOVELS - you will love this so much! πŸ•· (I did write a full review which you can find on my blog)! πŸ’»
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Do you ever read graphic novels? πŸ’₯
