My 2019 reading list!
2019: The year that I get back into reading, well…..reading more.
I’ve always loved reading.
When asked, What’s your hobby? I respond with, Reading.
Can you blame me? I carry a book with me almost everywhere I go, which always came in handy when the trains were delayed or when I was waiting to meet with someone who was on one of those trains that was inevitably running late.
I always loved trips to the library…and even playing library! My mom can attest (hi, mom!).
There’s nothing like cracking open a new book and falling swiftly into the main characters’ world. 2017 and 2018 brought tons of psychological thriller books, and this year I’m pushing myself out of my comfort zone. AKA, less The Woman In The Window and more Flow. Catch the full list below to see what I’m talking about – and then share your own list!

There are definitely a handful more books that I’d like to read this year, but I just haven’t narrowed them down just yet! What’s at the very top of your 2019 reading list? I’m always looking for new reads, because what else is a 28-year old to do? (Kidding, kind of)
