My Top Standalone Reads of 2019

Holy cow, this was much harder than I anticipated. I read SO many good books this year, so many. I combed through my blog, re-read my reviews, wrote out my top 20, then narrowed it down to a top 10. It was so hard, ya'll. So hard. This list is in NO particular order, but I do have a TOP READ of 2019 and I will talk it about it last. 

Regretting You by Colleen Hoover

 Hush, Hush by Lucia Franco

Eleanor & Grey by Brittainy C. Cherry

The Mother Road by Meghan Quinn

 In Peace Lies Havoc by Amo Jones

Heartbreak Warfare by Heather M. Orgeron

Manhattan by Kandi Steiner

Coming Up Roses by Staci Hart

Pretty Reckless by L.J. Shen

My absolute FAVORITE read of the year was 

Long Shot by Kennedy Ryan

Kennedy Ryan really blew me away with Long Shot. It's the one book I read this year that I haven't been able to get out of my mind. I think about it constantly, I gift it to people all the time, and I just really feel like it's such an important story that everyone needs to read. I haven't read a book like that in a long time, and it will definitely go down as one of my favorite books of all time.

I have reviewed all of these books here on the blog, and you should most definitely check out those reviews and see if any of them seem like something you would want to check out. They all come highly recommended. 

 There were 6 more books I had on my list that absolutely deserve a shout out and that you should also pick up and read. 

Be The Girl by K.A. Tucker

F*ck Marriage by Tarryn Fisher

That Second Chance by Meghan Quinn

Punk 57 by Penelope Douglas

A Place Without You by Jewel E. Ann

 5,331 Miles by Willow Aster

*Also want it to be known that Praying for Rain by BB Easton would have most definitely been in either this list or my next blog post for the top series/duets of the year, but the rest of the series isn't releasing yet, so I'm going to save it for next years list!*

Regretting You

"Sometimes you have to walk away from the fight in order to win it." Morgan Grant and her sixteen-year old daughter, Clara, would like nothing more than to be nothing alike. Morgan is determined to prevent her daughter from making the same mistakes she did. By getting pregnant and married way too young, Morgan put her own dreams on hold. Clara doesn't want to follow in her mother's footsteps. Her predictable mother doesn't have a spontaneous bone in her body. With warring personalities and conflicting goals, Morgan and Clara find it increasingly difficult to coexist. The only person who can bring peace to the household is Chris- Morgan's husband, Clara's father, and the family anchor. But that peace is shattered when Chris is involved in a tragic and questionable accident. The heartbreaking and long lasting consequences will reach far beyond just Morgan and Clara. While struggling to rebuild everything that crashed around them, Morgan finds comfor

Dismount

Love didn't make people feel hate.  If you follow my blogs then you know that a couple weeks ago I mad a post with reviews from books 1-4 of the Off Balance series by Lucia Franco. I was lucky enough to receive an ARC copy of book number 5, Dismount.  This series is controversial for some. There are people that don't like the content. There are people that don't agree with the theme. These people basically verbally attack Lucia over writing from her heart. That's not right. Have you ever heard the saying "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?" Well I used this phrase.."If you don't like what a books about, don't read it." It's really that simple. Why would you cause pain and suffering to someone brave enough to bare their heart to others through writing? Since when do we try to censor authors?  We'd have to choose between being in love and simply breathing. I knew it in my heart we would. We wouldn

The Lineup

No matter your limitations, there's always a spot for you in the lineup. Want to know a secret? It's about that girl over there. Don't look, but she's the one in the power suit- with the long, black hair and the serious expression, the one I'm about to go on a date with...Yeah, according to her, she "accidentally" donated an obscene amount of money to my charity- The Lineup- to win said date but I found out the truth. Miss. Button Up Blouse has a secret, passionate crush on me. I didn't know her name until two days ago, despite the friends we have in common. Was i oblivious? Probably. Was I blind to it? Definitely. But I'm no fool, I see it now. The High Heel Harlot wants more than just a date with Jason Orson, she wants to be able to claim the best butt in baseball as hers. Here's another secret..she has no idea I know.  It's no secret that I love Meghan Quinn. Every time I read an angst filled book, a heart breaker, or a thri
