It’s time for another Friday Favorites hosted by Kibby @ Something of the Book! This weekly meme is where you get to share a list of all your favourites based on the list of prompts on Kibby’s page. Sounds fun, right? This week’s prompt is: favorite 2019 releases! Well, here’s another reason I’m really glad that I keep track of my reads through my Goodreads reading challenge, otherwise I would’ve struggled with this one 😂 I think one of the reasons I ended up reading as many 2019 releases as I did this year is because of FOMO. I always see the hype and I get sucked right in and can’t resist. I’ve tried to narrow these down as much as possible and I’ve brought it down to 15 books (it’s hard to narrow down okay?! 😭) and I’ve broken them up into a few categories to make clumping easier: Contemporary, Thrillers/Horror, Fantasy, Romance. Chances are I’m totally forgetting some book or other (even with Goodreads’ help!) but this is what I’ve come up with:
Contemporary (YA/Adult)
★★★★★
Thrillers/Horror
(honestly I’m surprised that I even have the word ‘horror’ on my list! it’s so un-chicken-like of me!)
Fantasy
★★★★☆
Romance

So what do you think of my list? Would any of these 2019 releases also make it onto your list? Also, how real is the struggle to narrow favorites down?!

You have so many books on here that I have loved. Daisy Jones & The Six is one of my favorites from this year, too.
