Goodbye 2018 – A Look Back to the Best of….

As 2018 is coming to a close and 2019 about to begin I wanted to take a minute to wish everyone all the best in the coming new year. And I thought I would take this opportunity to look back at some of my favorite books of 2018.

Number of books read in 2018 – 583

Total pages – 168,360

Longest read in 2018 – The Passage by Justin Cronin 897 pages

Shortest read – Broken Dreams by Vivian Wood 50 pages

My Average Rating for 2017 – 3.8

Some of my favorite books of the year in no particular order….

Quite a long list I know but it’s tough to narrow down to a few when reading close to 600 during the year. Hopefully there will be many more awesome books to come in 2019 too!! 😀

  1. The number of books you’ve read in 2018 is AMAZING. I’m so envious!
    Anyway, Happy New Year and may 2019 be a great year for you too! 😊

  2. Thanks Sandy! I found that quote a couple of years ago and loved it so I had to share again, it’s so true. 🙂

  3. Haha thanks Aria! I know some people on Goodreads that blow my totals out of the water but I was happy I was able to do as many as I did. 🙂

  4. Happy New Year! And haha thanks, I always feel like there’s so many more I didn’t get to and I know I already have crazy numbers. 🙂

  5. Yes, definitely! I had so many good ones last year it was hard to narrow down my list. 🙂

  6. This is just wonderful Carrie. What if it’s beyond me! I am proud to be friends with such a talented person.

  8. Wow, 583 books! I’m in awe of you! I struggled to pick my top books of the year having read 290 so I can only imagine how hard it was for you. I’m glad you had such a good reading year in 2018 – here’s to 2019 being as good or even better! 🙂

  9. Happy New Year, Carrie! Wishing you a happy, healthy and safe year ahead full of fun, adventures and good books. I love your top ___, there are several on my tablet that I have not read that are on your list, so as I am getting ready to set up my January TBR, I am referring to your list.

  10. Thanks Carla! Hope you have a wonderful year this year as well. 🙂 And hopefully when you get to those I highlighted you’ll love them too. 🙂
