Top 5 Thursday | Ashley’s Best of 2019

01.16.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

As I said on my Worst Reads of 2019 post, I’m a pretty easy to please reader.  I tend to get swept away in the story and for the most part I enjoy almost everything I read.  So when it comes to choosing the best books I read this year, I have to admit that I had a really hard time.  There are so, so many good books that I read over this year that it was hard to choose the best, and even harder to narrow it down to the top 5.  So in order to do this, I gave myself some criteria. In order to end up on my Top 5 Reads of 2019 list, the book couldn’t be a re-read.  It also couldn’t be a sequel, and so I will admit that I cheated a little bit and made a list of the best sequels I read in 2019 just to make narrowing this down a little easier.  With those criteria in mind, I was still left with a fair bit of a list, so I had to narrow it down some more.  That was the hard part, but I was able to do it.  Below the cut, in no particular order, you will find my five best reads of 2019.

A: I ended up reading 32 books in February, which is pretty crazy.  Some of them were graphic novels, and I also had a few graphic novels.  However, there were definitely some physical reads too! Overall I’m proud of myself.

Hi friends 💙 So we all know Geralt is from the Hi friends 💙

So we all know Geralt is from the school of the Wolf. However, there’s also the Cat (also known to produce “evil”), Bear, Griffin, Viper, Manticore, and Crane. I think I’d like to be part of the Wolf or the Bear or Viper schools to be honest!

That being said, what are some of your favorite books with animals in them?

Hi friends! 💙 Hope your Sunday is going well. Hi friends! 💙

Hope your Sunday is going well. I just finished by case brief and compare and contrast for my class, so I’m feeling rather accomplished right now.

What are you currently reading?

Right now I’m reading A Song of Wraiths and Ruins. It’s so good!

I’m excited to pick up this badass lady series as well.
