At 150 books, I think this may be the most books I’ve ever read in one year. I wasn’t sure how exactly I wanted to put together this post, but then I saw how Grace styled her post and I LOVED it! I decided that that format (dividing up books by genre) might be a little easier to ingest, so I decided to do something similar.
But, I made a few changes.
First, I included a top overall list of my Favorite Books of 2018. These were the books/series that were my absolute favorite to read. Second, I didn’t include ALL of the books I read this past year. I didn’t want to waste either of our time, so I left off all of the books I just felt meh about. To be included in this post, I had to really like it. Not just feel meh about it. Third, within each genre, I didn’t really rank them. If it’s on this list, I enjoyed it, so I didn’t really feel the need to rank them. Finally, I didn’t include the descriptions because I’ve already described most of them in posts already.
Okay, I think that’s it, so enjoy and let me know what your favorites in 2018 were!
