Here's my favorite reads of 2019.

It was a great year for reading. All of these books pictured rocked socks and I loved them so.

Really looking forward to 2020. I have some sweet AF reads on my tbr shelves that I'm really excited to get to as well as a shwack of releases that are coming out next year that have me all giddy and shit.

Hot damn I'm so glad I'm a reader. 🥰

Done. All the stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This book is DENSE! There is so, so much to absorb. So many characters and POV's. What a crazy web! So much intrigue and plot development. I'm flabbergasted at the skill Tad Williams shows off with this book.

And the ending! Holy hell I need the 3rd book NOW!

Katerina Is this a brand new trilogy or is it connected to other works of his? 5y
Katerina Ah, okay, forget I asked. It's the continuation of Witchwood Crown. Got it 😊 5y

cathysaid I am beyond jealous of your 7Eleven Slurpee. It's been years since I've had one. Now I have summer goals. 5y

GrilledCheeseSamurai @cathysaid fun fact! If you google search 'Slurpee capital of the world' my home city, Winnipeg, is what pops up! 🤗 5y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @TK421 my favorite. 🤘 5y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @DGRachel I only lasted a little over an hour! I'm just not a summer heat kinda guy anymore. 😅 5y
Melissa_J Yummy ketchup chips 😋 5y
Lreads Nice setup! I wish I could read outside but I just can‘t tolerate the heat. ☺️ 5y
Katerina Oh, Loveless. Good choice! Reminds me that I have to get the latest volumes...and probably do a reread. It's been a while. 5y

I ❤️ Osten Ard.

Jovy I have not read any Tad Williams, so curious to know.. Is he like a Tolkien or Jordan, something like that? (edited) 5y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @Jovy His books set in Osten Ard certainly are. Very heavy fantasy. He does have another series of scifi books that take place in virtual reality called Otherland... 5y
Jovy @GrilledCheeseSamurai Oh i like heavy fantasy! Will check him out :) 5y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @Jovy Yuo bet! Tad Williams is one of my favorites. He's pretty long winded though so if that's not your thing... 🤷‍♂️. The Dragon Bone Chair is the first book and where you would want to start if it's his fantasy stuff you are after. 😊 5y
Jovy @GrilledCheeseSamurai Thanks for the rec! I will start with that👍🏼 5y

Cooling off with a Rootbeer ice-cream float!

Also...no more bouncing around between books! I'm at the 50% mark of this book and shit is getting real. Focusing all my attention on it and it only now and wanna wrap it up by tomorrow night or Monday afternoon.

AlaMich Yum! I love those!! 5y

Ya know...considering how frequently I've climbed into bed with Tad Williams over the years one would think maybe he could get me some flowers or something... 🤷‍♂️

Got a call from the bookstore telling me my pre-order was in. This isn't officially released until the 7th but who am I to argue!

This book is the tippity-top of my most anticipated book releases this year, followed closely by, Dark Age, from, Pierce Brown.

I'm so friggen excited to have it in my hands! I haveta work right away and it's killing me knowing this is in my bag. Bonus, however, is I have the next 2 days off! 👌

GypsyKat Awesome! I think @kylienoele is waiting for this one, too! 5y
kylienoele Incredibly jealous right now 😍 5y
