Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl
I usually do my end of year book awards every year, and this year I decided to go ahead and combine it with Top Ten Tuesday, since the prompt was favorite books read in 2019!

What were your top books of 2018?
![Jessi (Geo)](http://novelheartbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/signature.png)
This is a great list! I’m glad to see We Hunt the Flame is on there! I started it a few months ago but then set it aside because I was busy and have yet to pick it back up, although I’ve been itching to! Happy New Year!
Ohh I hope you can finish it soon, the last half especially is fantastic!! Happy New Year to you, too!
