It’s New Year’s Eve, and 2018 is coming to a close. January 2019 marks three months of blogging for me, and the only thing I have to say is – I can’t believe I didn’t do this earlier! I’d been toying with the idea of starting my own blog for years, and now that I have, it’s even more fun than I imagined! With that, I have here today my wrap up for the year and an introduction to 2019: my blogging plans, TBR and more!
Good morning, readers! Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
Today I’m doing something a little different than usual. I’m going to try doing a book tag for the first time ever! Thank you to Ngoza over at Ngoza and her books who created this tag and for tagging me!

Holiday season is right around the corner! And while that means a significant increase in reading time, it’s also nearing the end of the year – and time to make my TBR for next year!
It was so hard to narrow it down to these ten too – who says the best books are limited to the summer? And so, without further ado, here are my top picks for Winter 2019!
