Books Read in 2018

It was my goal to read 100 books in 2018. At final count, I read a total of 136 books - the most I've read in a year during the 8 years I've had this blog. I listened to more audiobooks this year and made great use of my library. Overdrive and Hoopla are awesome! 

I binged on books by authors who I wanted to meet at Book Bonanza. I sought solace in stories and experienced the comfort of getting lost in a good book when life got a little too tough to handle. I discovered a lot of new-to-me authors and added some "forever favorite" books to my shelves. I reread books that make my heart feel full and more connected to myself.

Below is list of all of the books I read in 2018. The date listed is when I finished the book.
