Books I read in 2018

Published on January 1, 2019 by

I read — OK, listened to — 45 books in 2018, so a little less than one a week. I started the first one in 2017 and finished the last one in 2019. I’ve omitted any books I started and decided not to finish, so I felt all of these books were worth finishing. I have also omitted unpublished books I read in critique group. The list is chronological, not ranked.

I also read a bunch of children’s picture books, but I’m not counting them.

I promised to give away copies of the books I read in 2018. I gave away copies of the first 20 on the list, but after the baby was born in late June, I just got so busy that the Amazon Giveaways fell by the wayside. I will do giveaways for the rest of the books on this list (which is one of the reasons I wanted to make this list).
