Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is our favorite books of 2019. I think 2019 was a really great reading year for me - I had quite a few 4.5 and 5-star books, and I'm usually pretty stingy about giving out ratings that high! Here are just a few of my favorites from the past year:
Did any of these make your top ten for the year?
Great list! I read One Day in December last year and loved it! I completely agree about Daisy Jones and The Girl He Used to Know....both made my list. Salt to the Sea is one of my favorite books of all time...completely agree about that one. Did you read Fountains yet? It's not as good, but still a great read.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Fountains yet, but I do want to read more from her!
DeleteYes to Daisy! I went into it really nervous because I don't particularly care for that time period. But the format really worked and I ended up loving it.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! I loved the format and how all the characters had their own voice.
DeleteDaisy Jones is on my list too!
ReplyDeleteYay!
DeleteDaisy Jones, Recursion, and The Bromance Book Club made my Best Of list this year too!
ReplyDeleteYay, that's awesome to hear!
DeleteI enjoyed One Day in December so much. I think had I read it this year it would have been one of my top picks for the year. So much love for Daisy Jones and The Girl He Used to Know!
ReplyDelete2019 was a really great year for books!
DeleteI really liked Daisy Jones and Salt to the Sea. I've heard great things about Only Plane in the Sky, though it sounds like a tough read. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteIt was a tough read, but so important, I think.
DeleteI LOVE Salt to the Sea. It was one of my favorites last year. I have Dead Mountain on my TBR list. I should probably add The Only Plane In The Sky too. I’ve seen it on a few “best” lists today.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
It really was a great read and taught me so many things I didn't know about that day.
DeleteI like your list! I haven't read any of them, but I actually own 4 or maybe 5 of them. Planning on reading Recursion very soon. Our mystery group is discussing Blake Crouch's previous book, Dark Matter, next week. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kay! Both Dark Matter and Recursion were excellent reads. Happy new year!
DeleteI read Recursion (and his book from last year too- this stands out because I'm definitely not a SF/horror fan, but his books pull me in). My husband has The Only Plane in the Sky-- I may or may not read it, due to predicting it will stress me out to do so. I've been interested in Salt to the Sea for quite some time. Thanks for making this list.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cleo! Blake Crouch has really made me more interested in sci-fi, too!
DeleteDaisy Jones is on a lot of lists and I liked the TJR book I read- i need to get to more of hers. Recursion of course was amazing!
ReplyDeleteYeah, Blake Crouch can really do no wrong!
DeleteGlad you had such a great reading year! I haven't read any these but have heard good things about some. Been thinking about trying a Blake Crouch book.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kristen! I think you would really like his books.
DeleteThere are a couple here that I haven't seen before -- especially Foe. That's a very dramatic title and cover! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Verushka! I think Foe would be a great read for you!
DeleteSalt to the Sea is one that I recently read and loved as well! I see a few here that I need to check out. I hope that 2020 is just as wonderful for you. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Dream Daughter is tied with What the Wind Knows by Amy Harmon as my favourite book of the year.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading in 2020!
Thanks, Jade!
DeleteSuch an interesting list, Angela! I haven't read any of them, but own a couple and have a couple more on my wish list.
ReplyDeleteThanks, JoAnn! I hope you enjoy them all!
DeleteThe Only Plane in the Sky sounds interesting. I just got Salt to the Sea when it was on sale the other day. Have a great 2020!
ReplyDeleteThanks, you too, Brooke!
DeleteYou have some amazing books this year! Hope this year is just as great.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jenea!
DeleteOne Day in December - YES! I cried buckets as I read that book. One of my faves!
ReplyDeleteSO SO good!
DeleteI want to read Recursion!
ReplyDeleteIt was such a crazy ride!
DeleteOne Day in December made my list too! Although, I included ALL of my favorite reads from 2019, haha. It's a long list! Daisy Jones and the Six & The Girl He Used to Know are two books I recently received, and I'm looking forward to reading them in 2020. <3
ReplyDeleteLindsi @ Do You Dog-ear? 💬
I hope you love them as much as I did!
DeleteOh wow I haven't read any of these books yet but now my TBR has grown <33
ReplyDeleteHaha, yay!
DeleteSalt to the Seas has a special place in my heart. I read it as a buddyread a couple of years ago, it was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt really was!
DeleteAhhh Daisy Jones, I adore that book so much, so happy to see it on your list! :)
ReplyDelete:-)
Delete"The Bromance Book Club" sounds fun, but I haven't read enough about it to know if it'd be a "me" read. You've reminded me to give it a second look though! :) Thanks so much for the visit to Finding Wonderland last week, Angela.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen a bad review yet of Bromance Book Club!
DeleteI read some of these books, but none my my top 10. I do really want to read Recursion, especially now!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great 2020 reading year!
Thanks, Angie!
