We’re over halfway through this year’s reading challenge and I think I can safely say that I’ve found my favourite book of the year.
But honestly? This was a good book month. Aviation history, time travel to one of my favourite eras, the story of an incredible life, and a fun alternate-reality style novel — I would happily recommend each of these reads.
So which one was the favourite? You’ll just have to keep reading to find out.
As we welcome the new year, it’s the perfect time to take a few moments to look back at our accomplishments over the past twelve months. What did we do? What did we see? And most importantly for us book-addicts, what did we read?
I, for one, set two goals for myself at the beginning of this year:
1. Have a baby. (CHECK.)
and
2. Complete the 2018 Reading Challenge. (CHECK.)
Over the past twelve months, I read my way through over 150 books and can happily say that I enjoyed a vast majority of them. The genres and authors were broader than usual, particularly since I participated in and completed my first reading challenge: 52 books in 52 weeks. (For a full list of said books, click here.)
And now, with January right around the corner, our 2019 Reading Challenge is set to begin in just a few days. For those planning on joining in, I am excited to share with you a few book recommendations to get you started!
In no particular order, here are FIFTEEN of my favourite reads from this past year:
Another year is drawing to a close, and with it, comes my favourite reads from 2017! So without further ado, I give you a list of my top ten favourites (and I’ll even throw in a few honourable mentions too.)
In no particular order, my 2017 Favourite Reads are:
To say that I love reading is an understatement.
Some of my favourite childhood memories are the days spent browning on a lawn chair beside the lake, soaking up novel after novel. I used to dream of owning a “Beauty and the Beast” type library with swinging ladders and gleaming, spiral staircases – who needs a house, when you can nest happily amongst paperbacks?
