Another Year Over

Another Year Older #MousesMusings #Books #Yearlywrapup

And a new one almost begun…Hello friends, and welcome to the almost end of 2023. Every year, I go through a rehash of my year and the plans I have for the coming year.  Some work, some…not so much. Let’s get into it!  First, I surpassed my reading goal again this year at 117%. My reading goal was 75 books this year and I’ve hit 88.  I’m proud of myself for being able to read that much and plan…

In 2018 I read 52 books, which is definitely more than I was reading and I’ve decided for 2019 to have my Goodreads reading goal at 60. What was your favorite book you read in the entire year? I’d have to say mine was...

2018 was a wild ride for me. I had to move twice - willingly at first and then because our house was being sold from under us. I was in a car accident that completely totaled my car, leaving me stranded for two weeks until we could get approved for a new car. My best friend who I met through Tumblr over five years ago came to visit me for the first time ever. And I got married! Throughout all of that, I somehow managed to reach my goal of 40 books for the year (and then some). Read below the cut for the rest of my 2018 wrap-up!

Here are the 44 books I read:

And here are my top ten reads of the year:

1. A Darker Shade of Magic (V.E. Schwab) goodreads | amazon | book depository

I put off reading this series for a while but finally bought all three of them at once and I am so glad that I did. I absolutely adored Kell and Delilah and reading of their journey together. If you’re a fan of magic and fantasy, this series is perfect for you!

2. A Gathering of Shadows (V.E. Schwab) goodreads | amazon | book depository 3. A Conjuring of Light  (V.E. Schwab) goodreads | amazon | book depository 4. An Ember In The Ashes  (Sabaa Tahir) goodreads | amazon | book depository

I actually won a copy of this from a Goodreads giveaway (only the second I’ve ever won over the years I’ve had an account)! And it was only shortly after having added it to my wishlist. Such an interesting story and beautiful writing. I’m not entirely sure why I haven’t picked up the rest of the series yet. Hopefully I’ll get to them soon!

5. The Girls at 17 Swann Street (Yara Zgheib) goodreads | amazon | book depository

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I don’t know what I was expecting but it definitely wasn’t such beautiful writing, a heartbreaking story and great characters. It was truly wonderful to read. I highly recommend it to anyone just for the insight into eating disorders.

6. Labyrinth Lost (Zoraida Córdova) goodreads | amazon | book depository

In all honesty, my expectations for Labyrinth Lost were too high going in. I was left with a book that turned out much differently than I thought it was going to and feeling a little bit put off. I enjoyed the writing and the characters and hope that one day revisiting it will fuel my desire to continue the series.

7. Since You’ve Been Gone (Morgan Matson) goodreads | amazon | book depository

This book was sososo good! I thought it was going to be a quick, cute read that I liked but didn’t love. But I got so much more from it. It was funny and sad and I truly enjoyed reading it. I even cried a little at the end (ask my husband, he was there)! I highly recommend it.

8. War of Storms (Erica Cameron) goodreads | amazon | book depository

I was given the opportunity to read this trilogy by the author and publisher. I was so excited when I was contacted to read War of Storms. This series is so unique, diverse and interesting. It so easily kept me captivated. It’s definitely worth a read!

9. The Witch Doesn't Burn In This One (Amanda Lovelace) goodreads | amazon | book depository

Amanda Lovelace is magical. Is there really anything else to say? I loved this one as much as her first and I can’t wait to get my hands on the rest of her work. She’s a wonderful writer and I aspire to be as great as her.

10. Sex, Not Love (Vi Keeland) goodreads | amazon | book depository

I had to throw one of the many romance novels I read into my top ten. This one was hilarious, steamy and wonderful.

2019 Goals

For 2019, I’d like to read 40 books. I want to aim for more but I don’t want to cause unneeded stress because of a number. Maybe next year! Aside from that, I’d like to read more poetry and less romance novels. I think I say that every year though and always end up right back to my smutty ways. Oh well, no regrets.

Did you reach your goals for 2018? What are your goals for the new year?
