2018 Reading Wrap-Up
I only read 80 books in 2018, probably the least number of
books I’ve read since my son was an infant.
Why?
Moving home.
New job.
Trying to date.
Seven of the titles were rereads. Fourteen of the titles were
written by male authors, the rest by female. I only read fiction books in 2018,
and 67 of those titles belong to a book series. I read 40 romance novels, eight
mysteries, and 26 science fiction/fantasy books.
Taking up a great deal of my reading time in 2018 was the
Mazalan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erikson. Ten titles, plus a book
written by Ian C. Esselmont that is a companion to Erikson’s books.
I read six
books/novellas by Elizabeth Hoyt, five by Mary Balogh and four each by Louise
Penny and Maya Rodale.
Two titles that stood out for me are “I’ll Be Your Blue Sky”
by Marissa de los Santos” and “Lake Silence” by Anne Bishop.
*Fully aware I neglected to wrap up my 2017 books. No promises I will ever get around to it, but it was more than 212 books.
