Hi everyone! Happy New Year! I can’t believe it’s already 2019 but I’m also quite glad. You’ll have noticed that I’ve been absent from my blog for a while and I won’t be going into much detail about that but I needed to take some well deserved time to look after me and I’ve had a lot going on. I’m back for the new year but I don’t think I’ll be posting daily this year, but a couple of times a week, let’s see how it goes.
Today I’m here to share with you my favourite books of 2018. I didn’t decide on a set number, I just looked through the list of what I read and picked all of the below books because I adored them and want you to check them out too! Links will lead to my full review of the book for you to check out!
Hero at the Fall | The Exact Opposite of Okay | Children of Blood and Bone | State of Sorrow | Clean | Only Love Can Break Your Heart | Spark | I Was Born For This | In Your Light | Exile | Floored | The Storm Keeper’s Island | Theatrical | Wild Blue Wonder | Seed | Sadie | Tender | Tilly and the Bookwanderers
Coincidentally I ended up choosing 18 of the books I read in 2018! All of these books are wonderful in different ways and really made 2018 a wonderful reading year.
Let’s hope for more of that in 2019!

I’m with Jodi in that I really want to read Sadie this year. I’m not typically a fan of contemporary YA (no magic? no Ellie), but Sadie looks unique + well-written enough for me to give it a shot. My favorite reads of 2018 were probably The Secret History by Donna Tartt, A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles, and Autoboyography by Christina Lauren.

Sadie is really outstanding! So much so that I plan on rereading it this year as I want to try the audio book which is meant to be incredible. Hope you enjoy it.

I also loved Hero at the Fall, though I don’t think it was the strongest in the series.

Happy New Year! I think the only one I’ve read out of this lot is Clean and that’s making it on to my favourites too! I just really loved that book so much.

I have only read three of these, Exile, I Was Born for This and Clean but I thoroughly enjoyed them both. Clean even ended up on the list of my favourite books for 2018 too! Hope you have a fantastic reading year for 2019 too!

Great post!
I really want to read Sadie in 2019, I’ve heard such good things about it. I’m a bit of a slower reader and only read 5 books this year, but I enjoyed them. YOU by Caroline Kepnes was my favorite book read of 2018. Sweetbitter by Stephanie Danler and Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng were also favorites.
Currently reading To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han. Hoping to read Love, Simon next.
Happy New Year!

I read YOU a few years ago and it was so creepy. Have you watched the Netflix adaptation? I thought it was brilliantly done!

Yes I watched the TV Series. It was perfectly adapted! So well done and I was completely surprised by the ending! Totally didn’t see that coming. Can’t wait for the next season. I read the sequel a few months ago and curious to see if it’s going to be similar to the novel.

2 of these have made my favourites lists too (Tilly and the Bookwanderers and I Was Born For This), 1 was on last year’s list because I had a proof (TEOOO) and I’ve really enjoyed all the others I’ve read from your list.
I am very ashamed of myself for still having not read Only Love Can Break Your Heart, and I definitely want to try and get to it soon! Happy New Year 💜
