Hi, Another year is drawing to an end and for once I'm not in a mad panic to finish my Goodreads challenge. I've actually started on next years challenge already. I've not blogged at all this year and I'm posting this reading round up as I do enjoy looking back at these posts. It's been four years since I first found and joined Goodreads. In that time I've completed my pledged challenge of 35 books per year, that's a staggering total of 140 books. Without further ado here are the books I read in 2018.

Lovely post Sam, I’m so pleased to see you back on the blogosphere! As I’ve said before, you always do so well with your Goodreads challenges. Out of the books you’ve read, Moxie seems most interesting to me. I’ve been reading a wider variety of reads this year to previous years, and alternating between contemporary, chick lit, children’s and a few other genres. I recommend you read the Boys Don’t Knit series, I’ve only read An English Boy in New York but it was one of my favs from the year for its humour as well as being a bit different. I love all the graphic design on the books you pick out too!! Happy reading in 2019. :-) xx

Wow! You've had such a good reading with you rating the majority of them high! i'm definitely going to take a few recommendations from this myself. If you're looking for some books to read in 2018, my favourite book is Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley and I think you might like it :-)
