I finished a total of 69 books this year. 27 of those are 3.5 or higher. I have my East Coast guru, Melissa, to thank for a bunch of them. But others have recommended some very good books to me, too.

ReplyDeleteWho is this Harmel woman ;) Hate U Give was on my list last year. I still need to see the movie. Before We Were Yours made it on both of our lists, yay for us!
ReplyDeleteYou had a great reading year and several of the ones on your list were ones I enjoyed as well. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteI'd say you had a great year in books overall. I hope 2019 is even better!
