Welcome to my annual “best-of” celebration! I’m changing it up a bit and separating the categories of my yearly best-of lists over a few days. All of this is to celebrate their distinction and spend a few more days talking about all the wonderful entertainment of 2018.
Day 1. Best of 2018: Novellas
Day 2. Best of 2018: Historical Books
Day 3. Best of 2018: Contemporary Books
Day 4. Goodbye 2018 & Looking Ahead
2018 has been quite the year. Personally, it has be joyous and bittersweet. I am glad for several things that happened in 2018, but I also am SO ready for a new year and the renewal and fresh start that comes with it.
Talking reading and entertainment, 2018 was a year of greatness. As I have outlined with my fav book posts so far, I have read some awesome stories. At last count, I read a total of 71 books, novellas, or short stories. I also surpassed my Goodreads challenge of reading 60. Here’s my “Year in Books” there!

Looking ahead to 2019, I am anticipating several new book (and movie!) releases. A few of the ones I’m most excited about are listed below. (and I’m likely to forget one or two, so consider this a partial list).
Do YOU have any New Year’s resolutions? Do you set a reading goal for the year?
The Green Mockingbird 
Just finished A Bound Heart. It’s AMAZING!
Ahhh I’m reading that very soon!
I have decided to read more Christian fiction this year. My goal is 2 per month as well as other books.
That’s a great goal!!!! Mine is probably the opposite… I don’t want to read less Christian fiction, but I do want to read more books from other genres I have on my TBR list. Happy reading!

Kara’s and Becky’s are high on my “must-read” list, and I still need to play catch up on Rachel’s historical novels so I can read her upcoming release! Hope 2019 is an amazing year for you, friend. 🙂
