Find out more about Thursday’s Top 4 here! It’s basically a meme I started mainly for myself, but anyone can participate! Visit this page for the upcoming topics 🙂
This week the topic is books to read in 2019. I have so many books to read, and I love planning, so I’m excited to start planing for 2019.
Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
We have this on Kindle, and I really want to read it soon.
The Secret History by Donna Tartt
I loved the Goldfinch and want to read this one too. And I’ve heard a ton of good things.
Slide by Jill Hathaway
This is on my Read Soon or Remove list on Goodreads, so I’m going to try to read it this year.
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L’Engle
Ditto for this one. I think if I don’t read it by the summer, I’ll just watch the movie and call it a day.
So those are four books I want to try to read in 2019. Have you read any of these? Which should I read first? Let me know!

Nice list! I strongly recommend reading The Secret History. It is such a great book. The funny thing is that I started with The Goldfinch, read it and liked it, and then when I read Tartt’s The Secret History and The Little Friend I realised that I love these two of her earlier novels much more than The Goldfinch.

I think I’m basically the only person in the world who doesn’t like A Wrinkle in Time. But I’ve heard the new movie is pretty bad and made some questionable changes in terms of the characters.

Oh no! I’ve heard the movie wasn’t too great, either 😦

Nice list! I must say, though: A Wrinkle in Time the movie is not at all the same thing as the book. It’s a rather dumbed-down version of it, IMO. I enjoyed the movie, but as a gateway to the book and not as a replacement. So I would highly recommend reading the book instead of just watching the movie. (Which order you choose to do them in, though, is up to you. I like both for different reasons.)
