When I saw the prompt for this week I wasn't sure how many books I would be able to rummage up. My reading life took a huge dip recently and I wasn't sure if I had read that many amazing books in 2018. A quick trip through my Goodreads shelves showed me just how wrong I was! Here are five 5-star reads I discovered this year.
Lyrical Masterpieces
The Witches of New York by Ami Mckay || Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen

Innovative Sci-Fic
Sleeping Giants by Sylvian Neuvel
I somehow forgot to write a review for this book?? Let's just say on page one I wanted to put it down because it has such an unusual format-- told almost exclusively in interviews and that's not really my thing. However I'm really glad I stuck with it, as it was a brilliantly thought out sci-fic novel.
NONFICTION
The Lost City of Z by David Gramm || 52 Loaves by William Alexander
Can we take a second to appreciate the fact that two non-fiction books made it on my best reads list?!
Who am I.
I'm telling you, this nonfiction reading challenge has completely changed my reading life. I started 2018 feeling like reading nonfiction books was this massive chore I never wanted to do. But then I discovered that nonfiction can actually be pretty great?!
Whew! That's it for me. What about you? What are some of your top 2018 reads thus far?
