2018 Reading Wrap-Up

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.
