My 2018 Reads

Hi everyone,

I hope you’re all having a great day.

Can you believe it’s that time of year again where we discuss all of the books we’ve read this year? I genuinely can’t!

I didn’t read half as much as I wanted to this year, but even so I’m happy with how much I did manage to read. Although my tbr is so long now that I definitely need to read more in 2019 before the pile crushes me. 😅😂

I hope you enjoy, let me know in the comments below if you’ve read any of these books too!

Her’s how many books I’ve read this year at the time of writing this. I know there’s still a few days left of the year where I can get some more reading done, so I may be able to add one or two more to this list:

I know that this number is far lower than the majority of other book bloggers, but considering this has been a rollercoaster of a year, with all of the drama from the editing company, personal matters and some serious reading slumps, I’m quite happy with this 33. At the beginning if 2018 I was originally planning on only having 30 books for my reading challenge, but I didn’t think that was enough of a challenge so I chose 40 instead.
