stripytights

I mentioned in a different post that I've pretty much been reading all year. I have an hour commute to work each way, where I read, I usually read in other slots of time as well, and I read really fast so 150 books in a year wasn't a big stretch.I reread a lot, because I comfort-read certain books to exhaustion. Below is a list of nine great reads of 2018. Not the nine best, because I read technically better books that weren't included for one reason or another. So much closer to say that it's nine good books I recommend, than my ten favourites. I've tried not to include rereads at all so this is fresh and new, with one exception. I read plenty of non-fiction as well, so there's a couple sprinkled in. There's a surprising amount about religion in all different forms - nuns, cults, fundamentalism etc. Under a cut as this got long.
