I just signed up for @monalyisha 's #NewYearWhoDis event! You create a list of your favorites from 2018 (what you read, published any year), get matched based on reading preferences, and the lists get swapped. The event is all January, but laid back- read at least one book from the list, but which ones or how many is up to you. Tomorrow is the last day to join, so be sure to sign up and get your 2019 reading started off right! 😃

A great idea by @emilyrose_x to post 24 of your all-time favorite books, counting down to Christmas. Do join in so that we can all add more to our already massive TBR lists!

#10AuthorRecommendations

These authors all consistently get 4 or 5 star ratings from me and I have read at least 3 books by each person on my list.

#top5fandoms
I have many but I suppose the main fandoms (in no particular order) would be Star Wars, Harry Potter, Vampires, dragons, comic heroes, mainly The Justice League members, and because I had an empty space I'm adding historical pieces because if it's a historical piece then I've probably seen it 😁😉
