January to July 2018: Top Reads

Top 11 books so far this year:

I was inspired to write this post when I saw Wandereader post his fav books he’s read so far in 2018. (Love you, Chase!)

Listed in no particular order, here are my favs from January-July 2018:

1.       Keep Her Safe by K.A. Tucker

K.A. Tucker NEVER disappoints. Keep Her Safe warmed my heart and kept me guessing until the end.

2.       Hidden Seams by Alessandra Torre

HOLY SHIT. That’s all I'm going to say about this one.

3.       Folsom & Jackal by Fisher Aster

This series is the most original story I’ve read in YEARS. Nothing like it—seriously.

4.       Restore Me by Tahereh Mafi

I was nervous that this would take away from the first three books and I WAS WRONG. I am (im)patiently awaiting the next two installments in this world.

5.       Disgrace by Brittainy Cherry

B. Cherry blew me away. Also, v impressed with her ability to write a super cold character with a heart of gold underneath. That can end up cheesy, but she did it with grace and wit.

6.       The Bombshell Effect by Karla Sorensen

Karla, this was hot. It was also swoon worthy.

7.       Voyeur by Fiona Cole

I loved this book. And found out Fiona and I share a hometown!

8.       American Parable by Christian Sterling

This book was outside my normal reads, and I’m so glad I gave it a chance. Currently reading an ARC of the second installment!

9.       Where Good Girls Go to Die & Where Bad Girls Go to Fall by Holly Renee

Read my review and you’ll hear more about how these books SLAYED me.

10.   What He Doesn’t Know & What He Always Knew by Kandi Steiner

Kandi, the Queen of Angst, the Author Who Makes Her Readers Sweat in Anticipation.

11.   Piece of Work by Staci Hart

My first Staci Hart novel, and certainly not my last. I can't wait to read more stories of the girl gang I fell in love with in this book. Also, the art world is fascinating!

These are my top 11! Yes, I know I cheated and some entries are duets but

THESE AUTHORS DESERVE ALL THE LOVE.

Some of the authors on this list have some releases coming up in the second half of the year and I’d bet that some of those beauties (I’m lookin’ at you “The Simple Wild”) end up on my second half of the year favs list.
