One of the best ways for me to relax and unwind is to read a book. I know when I’ve found a keeper because I can literally not put the book down. I’m up late reading just one last chapter and I’m looking forward to my next chance to pick up where I left off. Reading has always been one of my favourite past times for as long as I can remember.
Every year, my bloggy pal, Crissy, and I share our top picks for books to read in the new year. If you are filling up your TBR list, check out some of our picks from the 30 books you should read in 2018. Crissy’s picks are the even numbered and mine are the odd numbered. I look forward to sharing this post every year and when I’m reading a book, I ask myself if the book is good enough for this list!
