Our Awards for the Best Books of 2018!


Happy New Year's Eve! If you're unfamiliar with our Best Book Awards, it's a tradition in which we showcase some of our favorite books from the year. It's lots of fun and we want YOU to get involved too -- by commenting down below and telling us what YOU would choose as the winners for certain categories, and what you thought of our choices! There was no voting process on these books and there aren't actually any official awards -- this is just a fun way of celebrating all the books we loved this year! Without further ado, here are our favorite books of 2018! 

**Please note that not all of these books were necessarily published in 2018. Some were books we've had on our TBR for awhile, or 2019 ARCs that we read this year and really stood out to us!**

  1. These all look like fantastic reads. I still need to read a lot of these, but most of them are on my TBR. Thanks for sharing.
