Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl
I usually do my end of year book awards (although I didn’t do them last year, sad face), and this year I decided to go ahead and combine it with Top Ten Tuesday, since the prompt was best books read in 2018!

What a beautiful group of top books!!
I LOVED Sorcery of Thorns and the cover is gorgeous. I can’t wait to won the hardcover. :)
RIGHT?! I can’t either! I bet it will be gorgeous!
I had to choose more than 10 for my “top 10” as well. I haven’t read any of yours, but several are on my TBR piles! You can check out my Top 10 HERE.
