Hello Everybody! I made it a whole year reviewing. I have enjoyed sharing and conversing with you all. I started this blog with really just a goal of joining Netgalley but it has evolved much more than that and I’ve improved a lot as a reviewer.  I have reviewed 107 books since a year ago.

Top Five of Books I’ve Reviewed on Reading With My Eyes Site:

1. The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager: a mystery in the past a present merge about missing campers, some of the most jaw dropping twists in this book, that keep making you turn the pages.

2. The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton: The best way I’ve heard it described is an Agatha Christie novel on crack.  This is a love it or hate it book, and I loved it!

3. The Last Time I Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson: A classic novel that is so good it became an instant favorite. You will not guess where this novel is heading. When the ending hit I was pretty amazed at what Jackson pulled off.

4. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid: Just good solid storytelling that amerces you in the story.  I remember getting so wrapped up in the story that I forgot the interview character was even there sometimes.

5. Way of the Kings by Brandon Sanderson: Epic high fantasy at it’s finest.  Sanderson can crank out fantasy novels faster than anyone and they’re all interesting. I was a big fan of the Mistborn trilogy, but this book blows them all away in terms of character development, battle scenes, and world building.

Can you believe this year is already half way over? I’ve rated 42 book this year. 12 of them are from this year, I have not read Daisy Jones and the Six, The Huntress and Silent Patient  which I’ve been told Ill love.  Also I got approved for The Passengers by John Marrs which has already released in the UK and has gotten incredible reviews.

My Top 3 so Far for 2019:

1. An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen: A really smart thriller that is filled with small little twists, that add up quickly for a worth while finale.
2. Little Darlings by Melanie Golding: is a modern day Grimm’s Fairy Tale, this story id creepy and I enjoyed every minute of it.
3. On the Come Up by Angie Thomas: This is her follow up to The Hate U Give, it is an original story about a up in coming female rapper.  It deals in race relations, poor verus wealth, and growing up and dealing with all the feels that come with it.
