readers best 2018

So here’s a little backtracking!! Rebecca just sent us her Best of 2019 list, but in the process, she sent us THIS one too!! YAY US!! She says:

I realized I never sent in 2018! So–here is a double scoop of my reading greatness the last two years. I hope it isn’t too later to share–for 2019, I mean. 🙂

I am completely unable to keep either list to 10–please forgive me and know that I whittled even this down from way more. You give great recommendations which leads to me finding great authors–which leads to *lots* of amazing books! read more

Pia snuck in just one day after my “last call” LOL!!! But that’s okay, I’m THRILLED to have another list to post, and it’s so fun to know more about one of our book-friends all the way from Denmark!! 😀

In fact, let’s check out a few highlights from Pia’s year (via her own comments) 😉 :

Pia (from back in March 2018): In Denmark the snow is finally melting and I hope that spring and warmer temperature is around the corner.

Pia: Finally Friday and weekend around the corner  I have been sick most of the week – and the only good thing about it is, that I could read a lot – not much else to do. read more

It’s READY!!! This list is a celebration of my reading year. My favorites from 2018 have been highlighted (note: not all of them were published in 2018, but I read them in 2018 so that counts for me 😛 ).

These aren’t in any particular order (they are all 5 stars or 4.5 stars) but I tell you why I loved each one, I added snippets from each of my reviews, too.

They brought me joy, they brought me sorrow, they gave me chills, they gave me butterflies, they brought me personal growth. These are why I read. read more

It’s Amy’s turn! She’s my book-twin (we love the same type of jaw-droppers, or devastating reads), so I’m always excited to see her recommendations.

This year, its a short and sweet list (she explains why – and she’s got a GREAT plan for this year!!) but I loved a few on this list like crazy, so I know the others  she names are absolute MUST-READS for me!!

But first… some AMY 2018 “Life” highlights (in her own words) 😉

About food: I am OBSSESSED with meatballs right now. Turkey meatballs, ground beef meatballs, ground chicken meatballs, Swedish, Korean BBQ, Italian, even flavored with Lipton onion soup mix *drool*! They freeze well so I can make a bunch in advance and then just thaw them out. But tonight, it’s a fresh batch, and I can’t wait! read more
