Disorganized Things

I am quite late for a yearly review of the novels I read in 2018 but in my defense, I have had this planned since the last week of December. There are always memes about writing and reading and art that go around leading up to new year's and I couldn't find one that was quite what I wanted, so I made my own.

I'm the sort of person who always has a dozen different books in progress because I'll hop to something new every time my mood changes and am always reaching to read something that hits a specific tonal note. To that end, I present two lists: the list of books I completed in 2018, and the list of books I was reading in 2018 but which I have yet to finish. I'll be writing little mini-reviews of each; with the ongoing reads, some of them I'm still very excited about, some I got burnt out on for one reason or another and may or may not finish.

For a number of years I hadn't been reading much and since maybe 2016 I resolved to start reading more again. I use my library's digital lending system a ton for checking out ebooks and each year I've been reading more than the year before. I wish I did a roundup for 2016 and 2017 but I wasn't back in the swing of journaling yet; I hope that after 2018, I'll do one of these at the end of 2019 as well!

This post contains only the list of books I completed in 2018. In light of the fact that I am a walking TL;DR and cannot keep a post about literature brief to save my life, I am splitting the list of books in progress off onto a separate post, to be completed at a later date. I hope you, dear readers, enjoy this discussion of the books I finished.

( And without further ado... The books of 2018! )
