Theme = Top 5 surprising reads of 2019
These books I didn’t have on my radar to read. Most of them came in my Fairyloot box or I just fancied something I didn’t normally read…..
A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer
I’m not really one for a retelling but this one grabbed me, sucked me in and spat me out one happy woman!
Skyward by Brandon Sanderson
The first sci-fi book on my list. I have never read sci-fi before, for no particular reason other than I just haven’t, but I absolutely LOVED this book! I have Starsight too and am hoping to read before the end of the year.
Totally.Loved.This.Read
I saw a few people scoffing about the romance in this but romance is my thing….
Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson
I loved An Enchantement of Ravens and when I read the blurb about the great library I was excited. And this totally lived up to my excitement.
My 2nd scifi book! I’ve only got into Jay Kristoff this year really so before I read the Nevernight trilogy I thought I would check this out….and I fell in love with his writing style. I have zero regrets!
What books would be on your list?

I loved aurora rising and skyward too- even though I’m not big on sci fi either! And I really want to read serpent and the dove and sorcery of thorns! 😀

They were all so good! I just got Starsight (book 2 to Skyward) and I must admit I am struggling to get into it 😭

It might be me and a weird slump of sorts 😭 I’m doing an old faithful reread to jump me back in (well hopefully!!)
