2018 Reading Highlights
[image error]
At the time of compiling this list, I had read 170 books throughout 2018. To be honest, I find it overwhelming to come up with top titles lists, yet, every year, I’m still drawn to the task. I’ve read a lot of books this year that I’ve given 5 stars to. I’ve also read some that were not so memorable, many that were above average, and a special few that have not left my mind. My list below is 25 titles, but it could easily have been 75. How lucky we are as readers to be so spoiled for choice!
In no particular order, here are my reading highlights for 2018:
1. The Secrets at Ocean’s Edge by Kali Napier
2. Lady Bird & The Fox by Kim Kelly
3. This is How it Ends by Eva Dolan
