Best Books Read in 2019

I read a bit less than I have in the past 2 years, I got a job so I had less time for reading, but I still did read a great number of books, at almost 560!

I read books from January to December, and of those, were the ones that I absolutely loved, be it writing, thinking about it after, how much I'm anticipating any sequels or other books by the author, or the emotions it evoked, like "I hate that villain, they're so bad! HATEHATEHATE!!!! Yep.

So here's those books in alphabetical order so there's no strangeness among them! 

So first off is the Psy-Changling series by Nalini Singh, Beat the TemptationWhisper of SinSlave to SensationThe Cannibal Princess, Visions of HeatEchoes of SilenceCaressed by IceStroke of EnticementMine to PossessA ConversationHostage to Pleasure, DorianA Gift for KitMovie NightBranded by FireBlaze of MemoryChristmas in the KitchenBonds of JusticePlay of PassionWolf SchoolClean and DirtyDeceleration of CourtshipHomeKiss of SnowWild NightTexture of IntimacyStalking HawkeNaya's Most Important VisitorsPancakesGrocery ShoppingTangle of Need, Partners in PersuasionDancing With CooperMaking DinnerPoker NightSunday MorningHeart of ObsidianHide and SeekFlirtation of FateSecrets at MidnightNew Year's KissesShield of WinterKaleb and Sahara's Meeting with Sascha and LucasHousewarming at the OrchardShards of HopeRomancing DrewThe Song of the WolfAllegiance of HonorRowanBaubles and BenSilver SilenceAin't No Party Like a Bear PartyOcean Light, and Wolf Rain!
