Hi friends! So, I always like listing what all of the review crew read for the year. Anyone is welcome to participate, to be honest, so if you’d ever like to be a guest and share your reading list you’re more than welcome! (In fact, please do!) Just contact me and we’ll set something up!
Anyway, this is the list of all the books I read from July through December of 2018. If you want to see my thoughts on them you’ll have to check my GR. I also didn’t list all my DNF books because … well that seems unnecessary here. If you have any questions about these books, please let me know! Commentary is of course welcome too! I’d love to know if you read any of these books and what you thought!
To be honest I’m also a huge “mood” reader so … it’s very possible I’d feel quite differently about any of these books if I read them today. >.> Or on a good day. Each title also takes you to the Amazon page … if you want to throw a few pennies our way. 😇

*The asterisk is something that means I’ve read it before. I tried to catch each title, but you know. Also, N.B., this list may not be comprehensive, actually, because if I forgot to tag a book with “2018” in GR, then it slipped my notice. Oops!
If you’re curious as to what I read in the first half of the year, all those books are listed here!
Wow! Amazing.
Either you’re a very hard grader or an optimist to continue to the end on so many lousy or mediocre books.
