15 books to read in 2019

These are the books I'm most excited to read this year

Books.

I'm going to let you in on a lifehack that will change your whole year: preorder books. Trust me on this one: Ordering books before they come out is like a magical gift to your future self — a few months go by, and precisely when you forget about the order, you are surprised by a brand new exciting book appearing on your doorstep. What could be better? Plus many libraries will also allow you to pre-order books, meaning you can enjoy the delight of "treating" your future self to a great read for as cheap as the cost of nothing.

This year, you have many, many choices. Meeting New Year's resolutions to "read more" won't be a problem in 2019 — there are dozens of great new books hitting shelves over the next few months. Here are my top 15 picks.
