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!! 😀

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.
