Time to look back and then ahead! Looking back, I came up with a quick list of my favorite books from 2018. These are not necessarily books published in 2018, but books I read in 2018.

You can see in which category I read heavily: contemporary romance, which is also what I write.

My favorite books of 2018 - and a look ahead! Share on X

In a similar look back last year, I laid out all the books I wanted to read but didn’t get to. Let me tell you, looking at that list is humbling. I’ve read only one – ONE – book on that list. But, I’ve already started another, and those books are rocketing to the top of the 2019 list so I need not embarrass myself again next year.

Finally, I’ve listed some authors whose books I’m looking forward to reading in 2019!
