What’s On My 2019 Reading List

 

The post you’ve all been waiting for is here!

I made a resolution this year to read more. One book a month. Do-able!

I set this goal EVERY YEAR, but this year, I’m sticking to it! I told you all about it in January so that you could all hold me accountable and it’s working! So many of you also reached out and said that you wanted to read along with me! HOW FUN IS THAT?!

I will continue to update this post each month with the “book of the month”, so that you all can keep reference this post if you need some new reading recommendations.

So far, we’ve read two books:

 

JANUARY: The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah

FEBRUARY: When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi

MARCH: Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah

APRIL: Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

MAY: My Oxford Year by Julia Whelan

Also if you haven’t read The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, that should be next on your list. It’s definitely in my top 5 favorite books ever read and a ton of you said the same thing!

THE GIRLS IN THE GARDEN BY LISA JEWELL

I wanted something easy to read on my beach vacations this month and this one seemed like a great easy read. Tons of you recommended it, so I’m excited to dive in. I’m hoping I’ll finish it on the beach in Hawaii!

If you are planning on reading along with me or have any recommendations, leave me a comment or shoot me a message and let me know!

Can’t wait!
