--- title: “What I Read in 2018 Part 1: The List” date: 2019-01-01 categories: [2018, book, books, books, goodreads, novels, read, reading, reading challenge] ---
I’ve done the Goodreads Reading Challenge every year since 2013, and 2018 was only the second time I didn’t meet my goal. 2018’s goal was an ambitious one: 70 books read over a one-year span. I ended up finishing 63 books in 2018.
Here’s what I read in 2018. I’m having trouble with the Goodreads widgets this year so I’m going to split my annual what-I-read post into two parts this year. This post for the actual list of books, and a second post for the details.
