So, 2019 is here and it’s time, to remember the most memorable books I read last year. I’m very happy with the books I managed to read and the amount of awesome books and series is amazing! I’m very impressed with so many of them! I’m hoping my next reading year will be as good as this one. A big thanks to all the people who stop by to read my reviews, you’re awesome! Happy New Year!
YA

My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, Jodi Meadows
From there on the authors went wild with the history and created their own version of the story, which I absolutely adore!

Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi

Illuminae, Gemina and Obsidio by Amie Kaufman, Jay Kristoff
This series along with the Lunar Chronicles was that kind of series I was 100% sure I’m not going to like but wanted to read anyway because people raved about them. I’m very happy I did because I loved them so much! It was unique, dramatic, romantic and so much fun to read!
Heir of Fire, Queen of Shadows, Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas
