The 12 Best Books I Read in 2019
One of my very least favorite questions to be asked is, “What’s your favorite book?” I read 150+ books a year, people. That is a LOT of books. And so many of them are EXCELLENT. How could I POSSIBLY begin to just pick one favorite?! I can’t even pick one favorite from just this year!
It’s a lot of pressure.
Like I did last year, and the year before that, and the year before THAT, too… I rounded up 12 of the very best books I read this year. Don’t you dare ask me which one is my favorite! Don’t even ask me to rank them in order! It was hard enough to narrow the list down to 12 when I had more than 20 that got 5-star ratings from me.
Also, I know I’m sharing this list at the beginning of December when there are still several weeks of reading left to go… but I’ll be sure to update this if a new book blows one of these out of its spot!
Anyway.
Here you go!
The top 12 books I read in 2019:

If you write or share about your best reads of the year, share your link in the comments!
i don’t know about you, but even as a very single and very-anti-valentine’s day person, there’s something about all the love, hearts, and commercially-crafted romance in the air this time of year that makes me want to read something with a happily ever after.
out of the 86 books i’ve read so far this year, 25 snagged five star ratings, and these 12 are my favorites of those! the best of the best of the year, if you will.
there’s just something about escaping reality with unrealistic meet cutes and fantastic flirtations and steamy scenes that i just can’t get enough of, and with valentine’s day around the corner, it felt like the perfect time to round up some of my most favorite romances!
and now, as the year wraps up, i’m sharing my favorites of both fiction and nonfiction. i’m not the best at picking favorites, so i’m wrapping up 10 for each!
Now that we’re past the halfway point of 2022, I’ve rounded up my 12 favorite reads of the year so far (in no particular order).
Out of the (nearly) 200 books I read in 2021, these are the ones that were my favorites. I really don’t give out five star ratings frivolously, so these are books that I truly loved (but for all different reasons).
We are thick into spooky season, especially with Halloween right around the corner, and I rounded up 15 of the best mysteries and thrillers I’ve read. All of these were four or five star favorites for me, meaning I either really liked them, or totally loved them. (The five star reads are the first five listed!)
may these resources be helpful guides along this lenten season as we remove a distraction to better create space for Christ in our lives and in our hearts.
