2018 was the second best year I’ve had since I started tracking my reading back in 2016. I’ve done better, I’ve done worse.
Either way, I’m still immensely proud of my reading year. I set a goal of 30 and read 40, so I was definitely satisfied.
I read and reread, discovered books both new and old, and found some favorites that I won’t be forgetting about anytime soon.
So without further ado, I’ll leave you with all 40 books I read this year, in the order that I read them.
