It’s 50 Shades if it were super queer and super amazing, and definitely one of my favourites of 2019. Ives - a very small queer in a purple unicorn onesie - who you can’t help but root for, even when you know Caspian is only going to break his heart. How to Bang a Billionaire, Alexis Hall - The culmination of my Alexis and Joel obsession this year is Arden St. But Joel Leslie’s narration takes it from funny to heartache and back again in that “hurts so good” way I love. This would be a fabulously funny book to read all on its own, with snarky Dylan and terminally grumpy Gabe butting heads and other bits from beginning to end. Rule Breaker, Lily Morton - The first in my year of Joel Leslie. The writing is compelling from page 1, and Toby and Laurie have to fight so hard for their happy ending.

This book won a RITA a few years ago and even if kink isn’t your thing, it’s pretty easy to see why this book is so acclaimed. In no particular order, they are:įor Real, Alexis Hall - The first in my year of Alexis Hall. Here are some from my HBR (Have Been Read) pile that I loved this year.

So I’m not usually up to date and hip with the kids and all their new releases, but I’m always happy to recommend older titles that you may have missed. I’m a very slow reader, and I read a lot on audiobooks, which slows me down even more. If you get the A-List (and why wouldn’t you? It’s just about the best author newsletter out there) then you’ve seen my now pretty regular feature, Notes from the TBR.
