{ 2018 Books In Review }
I seriously don't even know where to begin with telling you all what my favorite reads of 2018 are. I have read so many good books. From Riley Edwards and her Next Generations series to Chris Genovese and his shark shifter books to R.B Hillard and her rock star boys to Ellie Masters and Erin Trejo. Oh and how can I forget T.M. Frazier and her Perversion Triology. Then Jaime Schlosser and Untrainable - god I so needed the laugh and smile that this book brought me. These are to name just a few of the Authors/books that stood out for me in 2018. The list could seriously go on and on and on. I think at the end of the year I will have read over 125 books. To me working full time, with 2 little kids at home and being a "good" wife that is a lot of damn books to read in one year - to say there have been many sleepless nights because of some of these books is a direct understatement. I should seriously be getting stock in coffee since I drink so damn much of it.
To single out just a few has been a very difficult undertaking as I have loved every single book I have read. However I did have to choose and have gone through all the books I have read on Goodreads this past year and tried as best as I could to break down my favorite books by month. (I will leave the link to the blog's Goodreads page at the bottom - feel free to check it out and "friend" us to stay up-to-date on the latest books I am reading.)

So there are the books that I was able to piece down to some of my favorites from 2018. To say there are not more that could be added is an understatement . Each book that I read I loved for more reasons that not and couldn't put down 99.9% of the books I read. To bad real life gets in the way most of the time. If you ask my kids what I do they will tell you all I do is drink coffee and read - now if only that was true I would totally be living the life. They don't take in to account all the cleaning I do and the laundry and the school work. I could seriously go on and on. I hope you take the time to check out some if not all of the books above and if you haven't take a chance on reading a new author to you. Finding new authors and going in blind have some times turned out to be the best book I have read in a long time.
Ok and Author's please don't be mad at me but this year I am also going to chose the #BOOKCOVER that I have loved the most or that has caught my eye in one way or the other. Now over the past year if not longer there have been some amazing covers out there. Honestly all of your covers catch my eye in one way or another - I have been know to buy a book based off the cover and not even knowing what the book is about. The cover that has caught my attention most is a book that I read this month - yes December 2018 - and by god when I first saw it before the cover reveal day I was just drawn to it and thought it was perfect - without reading the book. Now after reading the book the cover is even more PERFECT...so without due....my #FAVORITE #BOOKCOVER of 2018 is......
