It’s a Merry Christmas book list surprise!!! While right now, we’re all probably enjoying the day with family and friends, I was so happy when I received this surprise from one of our most recent readers!! A true gift of book-list awesomeness to enjoy when we have a bit of time to read quietly… and check out what our fellow book lovers loved the most, this year ➔ READERS BEST 2019 (the lot of lists so far, and I’ll be posting these well into January 2020, so send me yours!). 😀

Reader Favorites – Kim’s Top Five Books of 2019 List
YAY KIM!!! She’s back with a favorites list!! I love Kim and she’s been with us for a long time (on our Facebook page, too), and once upon a time… she sent us THIS list Reader Favorites – Kim’s Top Reads for 2015
And now, we get more!!!
But first, some of her highlights over the last year and a half!
Her love of rock stars: I have so many rock star crushes and rocker books are one of my most favourite tropes (hello Jake Wethers). My latest age inappropriate crush is Harry Styles. I love his zero f*cks given attitude, his minxy British bad boy vibes and naughty sense of humour. He’s pretty easy on the eyes as well and if Stevie Nicks can be his BFF, I don’t feel too pervy on the age gap 😉
Reader Favorites – Steph N’s Best Books of 2019 List
This is Steph’s second “Best Of” list with us (here’s her first one from last year ➔ Steph N’s Best Books of 2018 List) and I’m so happy she’s back! Lots of new-to-me books on here, plus a few that are my absolute favorites too. I like her book-taste. 😉
We’ll dig in, in just a moment, ’cause first, I want to post a few of her highlights over the last year…
Doing the Pick for Me challenge got some of those hard to read books off my TBR!
Reader Favorites – Kathy’s Best Books of 2019 List
This is Kathy’s very first Best of the Year list with us, though she’s actually been with us (and commenting pretty regularly) over the last few years. In fact, she’s been with us since 2013!!! I was thrilled to gather up some of her latest life and book highlights over the last year and a half so we could get to know her better.
And then… her list right after this!!!
Fun Facts About Kathy:
This is my favorite time of year. I love finding new treasures to read as well as reaffirming that maybe my taste isn’t so bad 🙂
Reader Favorites – R. Renee’s Top Ten Best Books of 2019 List
Okay… so we get DOUBLE the fun from R. Renee this year, ’cause not only did we post her hilarious “Best in Class” list if 2019 (she describes them as not “…necessarily faves of the year—just faves in those categories (released in 2019)…“) but now we get her TRUE TOP TEN FAVORITES!
“My Graduating Class (that Maryse posted recently) consists of thirteen categories in which I highlight special, honorable mention books that may or may not be included in my Top Ten list. It’s made up entirely of recent releases where my Top Ten can be from any year.”
