Quarterly Reading Wrap-Up 1 (2018)

Posted on by earlymorningreader

So it’s mid-April, which means 2018 is more than a quarter of the way over.  (Though it feels like New Years Eve was just last week and I was setting my GoodReads goal!) I thought I’d take this opportunity to check in with myself, to see what I’ve read so far and to look ahead.

What I’ve Read

  1. Without Merit by Colleen Hoover (My rating: 2/5 + Goodreads review)
  2. Bonfire by Krysten Ritter (My rating: 4/5)
  3. Where’d You Go Bernadette by Maria Semple (My rating: 4/5)Screen Shot 2018-04-19 at 11.29.55 PM
  4. Paper Girls, Volumes 1-3 by Brian K. Vaughn (My ratings: 4/5, 3/5 & 3/5 + Goodreads review)

FAVORITES!

Final Girls by Riley Sager takes the prize! I don’t know if it’s because it’s still fresh in my mind since it’s the last book I read, but I must say, this book sucked me in and refused to let me go.

Turtles All the Way Down by John Green and Sunburn by Laura Lippman are tied for second place. Green’s latest novel had so much heart, and Sunburn introduced me to a new author whose slow-burning, noir-style writing had me in a trance.

GOALS!

Looking back on my reading year thus far, I see I’ve been reading quite a few new and recent releases. Looking forward, I’m hoping to read some older fiction along with more classics.

How has your reading year been going? Have you discovered any new favorites?

  1. I still need to read Turtles All the Way down, glad that you enjoyed it so much!

    I also realized that I was having a New Release kick, so I joined NovelKnight’s Beat the Backlist… and that has helped me balance my reading priorities a bit.

    1. If you enjoyed John Green’s other works, I think you’ll enjoy Turtles All the Way Down. Let me know what you think when you get to it!

      And thanks for pointing me towards that list. It’s hard to move past new releases, especially when they’re really hyped up. 🙂
