So, when I first decided to write about the books I read in 2018, I honestly thought the list was only going to be five books long but as I made the graphic you see above I started remembering more of the books I enjoyed and it naturally fell into a nice list of 10.
I normally try and judge my year/pick up new titles via NPR’s Best of list and the NPR list shamed me because only two of the books I read were on their list. I will of course be eternally behind because there are so many books to read in the world and I can’t wait to read many of the books they picked…next year.
