All the Books I’ve read in 2018 Part I

Seanan McGuire Every Heart a Doorway (Wayward Children, #1) Down Among the Sticks and Bones (Wayward Children, #2) 2016 2017 Rating, The Wayward Children series has become one of my favourites in 2018. These are novellas so they are fast reads, there are some beautiful prose and all in all, just magical. The first book was centered on Nancy and the second book is about the twins, Jack and Jill and the worlds that they have discovered or stumbled into but nevertheless, worlds that they cannot live without. We also meet the other children from Eleanor West’s School for Wayward Children, each with their own stories and yearning for that place where they truly belong. AJ Finn The Woman in the Window 2018 Rating, I enjoyed reading the Woman in the Window. Psychological  thriller is my go to genre and this one is pretty standard; an unreliable narrator, a plot twist or two and a film noir premise. Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff Illuminae (The Illuminae Files, #1) 2015 Rat

On 2015 I had to move to a new state for work, this was my first time living on my own and miles away from my family and friends, again, books became my sanctuary. In 2016 I met a man who became my boyfriend (who is now my fiancé) and my reading took a nose dive to 7 books in year. Since then though I am slowly building up to my goal of 1000 books or hopefully more. I am now at my 664th book. Here are all the bo
