Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is Best Books I’ve Read In 2018 (So Far).
Where to even start? 2018 has been full of amazing books for me — here are some of my favorites:
1) The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah (review)
2) The Glass Forest by Cynthia Swanson (review)
3) Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld (review)
4) The Newsflesh series by Mira Grant (review)
5) The October Daye series by Seanan McGuire (11 books and counting!)
6) The Chilbury Ladies’ Choir by Jennifer Ryan (review)
7) Only Human (Themis Files, #3) by Sylvain Neuvel (review)
8) The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane by Lisa See (review)
9) The Murderbot Diaries, books #1 & 2 by Martha Wells (review)
It’s kind of hard to limit myself to just ten… but the final spot, I think I need to go with one of the two Georgette Heyer books I’ve read (so far) in 2018. I can always count on GH’s books to brighten my day!
10) A Civil Contract by Georgette Heyer (review)
Oh, what the heck… let’s include one more, because it was just so unique and awesome:
11) Pride and Prometheus by John Kessel (review)
And now I’m going to hit the “publish” button before I add any more to this list!

Bookshelf Fantasies 
Yayyyy Feed! And Toby Daye! (Winter Long is next for me) And Only Human! So glad you enjoyed these too. I’m hoping to pick up All Systems Red sometime soon. 🙂
Given how many other AMAZING books we both love :), I’m pretty sure you’ll love the Martha Wells books too!
I also have The Great Alone on my list!
SUCH a great book!
Great list. I have The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane on my TBR!
I just read Tea Girl with my book group, and everyone loved it! I hope you get to it soon!
Awesome! I’ll have to move it up on the TBR
Looks like you’ve read some fab books this year.
Definitely! And so many more to go. 🙂
Fab list! The Tea Girl was so good, and I still think about those characters. I need to explore Lisa See’s backlist!
I’ve read a few of her other books — all are amazing. I still have two (maybe three?) on my shelf yet to read.
Oooh, so many intriguing titles. I love, love, loved Eligible! Thanks for sharing.
Eligible was awesome! I love a good P&P retelling — and reading Eligible made me want to read more by Curtis Sittenfeld too.
It’s so fun to pick the top ten – but I also have a hard time since I have so many favorites for the year!
Well, that’s why I ended up 11… and could have had so many more!
Eligible is such a fun one! I’m a sucker for a cute retelling.
Me too, especially when it’s inventive but true to the basic nature of the characters. Eligible really was great.
Oh I love The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane!! It made me want to try Puerh soooo badly and now I love it!
Ah, I need to try Puer too! I’m fascinated by the idea of tea being so high-priced and valuable.
I’ve been meaning to give Feed a try for years. Sounds like a great series.
Really, really worth it! I loved the series.
I’m glad you liked The Great Alone! I’m on the world’s longest waitlist for that book.
I hope you get it soon!
I read Feed a while ago. I haven’t read the rest but I picked up a brand new copy of Feedback from the library (couldn’t resist). Do you think it would matter if I read that one before the others. I think I read that it’s about the same time as Feed but from different POVs?
I keep looking at Eligible too and thinking I should give it a try. So many books…
No, don’t read Feedback before finishing the original trilogy! Feedback is set at the same time time as Feed, but absolutely will give you big spoilers for what happens in the other books. I really, really recommend going back and reading the trilogy, and then seeing if you want to read Feedback.
Thanks for the tip. I try to avoid spoilers if I can so I’ll definitely have to save Feedback for later.
