10 Most Read Blog Posts of the Second Half of 2018

In July last year, I posted 10 Most Read Blog Posts of the First Half of 2018; today I’m here to share with you which of the July-December 2018 posts you’ve read the most. We’ll start with #10 being the one with the least reads and #1 (of course!) being the one with the most.

7 Books I Read and Fell in Love with in 2018 (Plus 3 Honorable Mentions)

2019 is upon us, but 2018 is not forgotten. And more specifically: the books I read are not (entirely) forgotten.

Today I’m going to share with you the ones that left the biggest impression on me: my favorites and some honorable mentions. There are a couple of rules to my lists though:

1. These are books that I’ve read in 2018, but didn’t necessarily come out that year (most did though).
2. Only one book per author per list, however, I will include one of the authors in both lists. If you follow my reviews, I’m sure you can guess which author will be present in both places, although I’ve reviewed so many of her books (seven, actually) this year, that you might not be able to guess which two titles are going to be featured into this post.

And now, in the order in which I’ve posted my reviews, starting with the oldest one…

My Favorite Reads of 2018:

My To Review List for November 2018

I have two, possibly three, books to review this month. Since one of those is an ARC I still don’t have, I’ll leave it out of this list. So, which are the other two?

13 Books I’m Looking Forward to Reading in 2018

There are a lot of books I’d like to read in 2018, but I’ve narrowed them down to thirteen to share with you. Before I tell you which they are, a few disclaimers:

1. This isn’t a Top 13; the books are in no particular order.
2. While some of these books are coming out this year (I’ve mentioned which), there are some that are older.
3. Some of the new releases don’t have covers, titles or synopsis yet. In the case of the unknown titles, I’ll just write which series the book is from and the number it’s supposed to be; as for the About (synopsis), I’ll just explain what the series is about.
4. I’ve divided the books in the following categories: Fiction Novels (8), Guides (3), and Manga/Graphic Novels (2).

Let’s start with…
