Stephanie's Book Reviews 
I’m really looking forward to The Dreamers which isn’t my regular genre, but sounds good!
I had to look that one up. It does look interesting. And has a super pretty cover!
Yes, the author is Karen Thompson Walker. It does and I’m worried that it also has mixed reviews, but I want to see how I will react!
These covers alone make me want to dive right in, especially Famous in a Small Town and The Mother-in-Law!
Emma Mills always has the very best covers. I always buy physical copies so I can have them on my shelf!
Yep. Yep. Yep. All of these are on my TBR except a couple, which I may have you add based on this list. 😉 It’s going to be a great reading year.
Yay! Happy Reading to us haha 🙂
I have The Mother-In-Law on my list too! I am looking forward to your thoughts on Two Can Keep a Secret. I keep seeing What the Wind Knows and I am wondering if I should add it to the TBR.
Two Can Keep a Secret will be my next read. I want to finish up the book I’m on now, but I’m not sure if I can wait. Have you read Amy Harmon before? A couple of her books haven’t done it for me, but for the most part they are usually very beautifully written.
No I haven’t. Do you have a favorite?
I want to read One of Us Is Lying this year. If I like it then I plan on checking out Two Can Keep A Secret.
I definitely recommend Making Faces by Amy Harmon. One of my all time favorite books.
Great list!! I had to put Serious Moonlight on my TBR because there’s been so many people with that on their list!
Thank you! I hope we both enjoy Serious Moonlight. Her books are always so cute.
I haven’t read many by her, so I’m excited to read this one! 🙂
I really hope 99 Percent Mine lives up to my expectations. I’m almost afraid to read it. I loved The Mother-in-Law!! I hope you like it. And I’m loving the new Harmon book…although it is a very slow and intense read.
I’m trying to lower my expectations a bit for 99 Percent Mine because the reviews I’ve seen so far haven’t been all that positive. But I’m really hoping I’ll enjoy it more. I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the Harmon book! I hope to start it soon!
I’m predictable at this point, but Dark Age by Pierce Brown 😁
Yes! I didn’t include it in this this list since I made my cut off June and Dark Age doesn’t come until July. But it’s definitely one of my top most anticipated for 2019.
All of these look good! 99% Mine looks especially good 🙂
They do! I hope you enjoy 99 Percent Mine!
Cool list!
I also look forward to reading Two Can Keep a Secret and Mother in Law 🙂
Thanks! I hope we both enjoy them as much as we’re hoping to!
I love your list. There’s so many on here that I want to read!
Thanks! I hope you get to them!
I may or may not have just been enticed to try Serious Moonlight from just learning that the romantic lead is Japanese…
Cheers,
joey via. thoughts and afterthoughts
Woo-hoo! Jenn Bennett books are always pretty fun 🙂
This is a great list! I’m also looking forward to King Of Scars, 99 Percent Mine, Famous In a small Town, and Serious Moonlight. I’m currently reading Two Can Keep a secret and so far I’m really loving it.
Thanks! I’m so happy to hear you’re loving Two Can Keep a Secret! It will be my next read!
The Mother In Law is on my Netgalley shelf right now, I cannot WAIT to read it!
I hope you love it!
Fumbled does look like an interesting read!
This is my Top Ten Tuesday post.
I really enjoyed that author’s previous book so I’m hoping I’ll enjoy Fumbled just as much, even though the trope in it isn’t one of my favorites.
I do want to read Two Can Keep a Secret. Crazy it’s out already!

I am reading it right now and enjoyed it so far. I hope you get to read it soon!
Fame, Fate, and the First Kiss looks really good! Happy Reading! I hope all of these meet your expectations ❤
Thank you! I always love Kasie West books!
Great post!
I bought One of Us is Lying a few months back and still haven’t gotten around to reading it yet. I didn’t realize it was going to be a series. Hoping to read both in 2019.
I just finished reading To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han. Going to read Love, Simon next.
Thanks! I liked One of Us is Lying a little more than Two Can Keep a Secret, but it was still good. TCKAS isn’t part of the OOUIL series, though. The second book for that one comes out next year I think.
Have you watched To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before on Netflix? I actually enjoyed that more than I did the book.
Yes, I saw the movie the day after I finished reading the book. I liked the adaptation a lot. It was really good. I liked the book and the movie the same amount.
