What I've Been Reading

It has been over a year since I did a post like this. Therefore I don't remember all of the details so instead of my review I am just going to list all of the books I listened to in 2018.  Because I only do audiobooks thanks to me long commute.

I have a subscription to Audible where I pay $16 a month for one credit (one book).  I also sometimes buy books when they are on sale or the daily deal that is usually $3-5. Additionally I listen to books for free through our public library. Unfortunately a lot of the books on my list are available as an e-book but not audiobook so I have to wait for them to get it or buy it through audible.  But each time I check the library before I buy a book on Audible.

So here are the free books I listened to in 2018-

These through the library-

• Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng
• In A Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware
• Pretty Baby by Mary Kubica
• Don't You Cry by Mary Kubica
• Hardcore Twenty-Four by Janet Evanovich
• Y is for Yesterday by Sue Grafton - Sadly Sue Grafton died in 2018 before she wrote Z so the series just ended suddenly with no closure.  I have been reading this series since I was a teenager so I am so sad.
• The Silent Wife by A S A Harrison
• Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng
• The Address by Fiona Davis
• Talking as Fast as I Can by Lauren Graham -disappointing
• Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate- Great book but some really tough parts
• The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead- Another good book with some heart wrenching parts
• Lying Game by Ruth Ware
• The Marriage Pact by Michelle Richmond- Kinda like stepford wives. Really good
• The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks
• The Baker's Secret by Stephen P Kiernan
• Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis - So many people talked about this book and I thought it was okay. 
• The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah- Another highly recommended book. It was good but I felt like it just kept going with more twists and turns.

Oh my goodness that is 42 books! Almost 4 books a month.  I am not sure if I feel accomplished or embarrassed by that many. I think it shows how much time I spend in the car.  Plus I have listened to books while on maternity leave while I am nursing Chloe and stuff.

My next post will be the books I have read in 2019 so far and hopefully I can actually give my thoughts on them.
