Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week a new Top Ten list will be posted. Everyone is welcome to join. Link back to The Broke and the Bookish so everyone can check out other bloggers' lists. It's a fun way to get to know fellow bloggers.
This week is the best books I read in 2018- the annual best of list. It's always interesting to go back and look at my ratings and see which books really worked for me over the last twelve months. This year I seem to have gravitated to suspenseful reads. Seems right. So here are my favorites of 2018.
I still need to read The Extinction Trials! Happy New Year Greg :)
ReplyDeleteAaaaand here is my list because of course I forgot to link it

The Cheerleaders and Contagion are on my 2019 TBR. Great List
ReplyDeleteHere is our TTT for this week:

Contagion is something I wanted to read too. Great TTT. :)
ReplyDeleteI still have yet to read any of these... I started Contagion, but it had to go back to the library before I finished it. It's great to know that it was one of your favourites, I'll look forward to reading it!
ReplyDeleteI have not read any of those! I am missing out
ReplyDelete'Wolves' has a really interesting cover design (love the font and the dark palette goes well with what I'd imagine the book to be about), and I've seen The Cheerleaders around the blogging community. Sometimes a good suspense story is the perfect kind of read.
ReplyDeleteGlad you discovered some great 2018 read, Greg - happy 2019!
I loved Echoes, although it didn't make my top 10 list. I haven't read any of the others yet. Maybe I should.
ReplyDeleteI've had The Cheerleaders low-key on my radar for a while now and just haven't picked it up yet. Seeing it on your list is a reminder to pick it up!
ReplyDeleteWonderful list Greg. I keep thinking that I need to read The Cheerleaders. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI loved The Extinction Trials too! I need to continue that series.
ReplyDeleteI've still only read the first book in the Wayfarers series, but I just bought a copy of A Closed and Common Orbit, and I can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! :)
I must admit that I have not read any of these, but some covers are very appealing. This year I started reading more mystery novels as well, so I`ll check out some of these books on Goodreads. Happy New Year!

I didn't bother with TTT this week as I went on about my favourites all through December for Blogmas! Yes to the Extinction Trials! It feels closer to getting the new one now...
ReplyDeleteContagion sounds so good! I want to try to get around to reading The Extinction Trials this year, as I've heard good things. *_*
ReplyDeleteMy TTT post!
AWESOME list! SO many of these are still on my TBR. I need to change that soon!!
ReplyDeleteMy Top 10 Books of 2018
Good list... I also read The Wolves of Winter and Obscura. I read a trilogy by Joe Hart before I picked up this newer title and that was pretty good. Have awesome reads this year (um, besides, GoT, lol)! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these yet but I did just get The Cheerleaders so I want to get to that soon.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these but I did pick up The Wolves of Winter because I saw how much you loved it. I hope to read it soon.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these! I like the sound of Bad Girls With Perfect Faces.
ReplyDeleteThe Cheerleaders looks like a really good mystery/thriller! Happy New Year, and I hope your 2019 suspense reads are just as awesome! :D
ReplyDeleteGreat list, I enjoy suspenseful reads. I especially like the cover on The Wolves of Winter.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year and happy reading!
I really enjoyed The Cheerleaders and I can't wait to read Contagion. Suspense/Thrillers are one of my fave genres. Happy new year, Greg! :)
ReplyDeleteMegan @ http://www.booksbirds.com/
Awesome list! I really want to read Contagion and The Extinction Trials. Happy New Year! :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely see a dark mystery/suspense vibe in this list, as you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading in 2019!
I haven't read any of these, so I might need a few to add to my TBR. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHappy New year. A great list. Contagion is one I wanted to get to but didn't.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! I haven't read any except for Echoes (was not a huge fan of that one), but I think I have The Cheerleaders on my TBR.
ReplyDeleteIt surprised me how much I liked Bad Girl, because it was so dark, but it as just such a compelling story.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many books and I've read so few of them. I am constantly reading some book while wishing I was reading something else. I say this because I haven't read or heard of the books on your list. Sigh. My 2018 Favs Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI've only read The Wolves of Winter and An Unwanted Guest...but I really want to read the rest from your list. Glad 2018 was such a good reading year...but I hope 2019 is even better. Happy New Year! :)
ReplyDeleteI’m glad that a few of these are on my TBR list. I’m especially looking forward to the Becky Chambers series. Happy 2019!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I'll have to read The Cheerleaders and Record of a Spaceborn Few someday! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThe Cheerleaders is on my might buy list so I'm pleased to see it make your best books list!
ReplyDeleteI'd already posted about my top ten books of 2018 so I'm talking about the books I'd be stuck on a desert island with in this week's TTT
I loved The Wolves of Winter (and I saw it here first so thanks) and The Cheerleaders too. You read a lot of good books. I'm still planning on saving An Unwanted Guest for our first major snow.
ReplyDeleteYaasss to Obscura! Great list, Greg!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these, but I've been eyeing up The Cheerleaders.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog earlier, Greg!
Sweet, I've read four of these! I agree Record of a Spaceborn Few was a clear standout - my favorite sci-fi book of 2018 for sure.
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
I really enjoyed The Cheerleaders too. Obscura is on my list to get to in 2019, and I'd really like to try The Wolves of Winter too after seeing how much you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteObscura didn't make my final list, but I really enjoyed it. Sounds like you had a "thrilling" year!
ReplyDeleteBECKY. CHAMBERS. 👍✨
ReplyDeleteOOH- I've heard so much about Contagion and Echoes!!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I've been hearing some good things about Contagion!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Top Ten Tuesday!
Ronyell @ Rabbit Ears Book Blog
I do recall seeing a lot of reviews for suspenseful books on your blog in 2018, so that does make sense! Glad you found these amazing books!
ReplyDeleteCheerleaders -- I soo need to get to that next!
ReplyDeleteI remember all these reviews You were so enthusiastic about these books that many of them are on 2019 TBR now! I'm especially excited about the Wolves of Winter, Contagion, and Echoes! I hope 2019 is even better for you Greg!
ReplyDeleteThe covers to all of these are all so dark and mysterious! I love it. Great list! I hope 2019 brings you even more books to enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteOf course there's a Becky Chambers book on here, I need to read it which I see every time I see the cover anywhere. And I always enjoy coming over to your blog and reading your reviews of the more suspenseful releases, it tells me whether or not it's worth getting a hold of a copy or if I'll be left disappointed by the ending and I should give it a miss.
ReplyDeleteThe Cheerleaders is on my TBR. It's funny how we gravitated to a genre, yours was suspenseful and mine was paranormal. This is a great list and hope you have a great 2019!
ReplyDeleteI'm behind and haven't really looked at my year end stuff yet. Have not read any of these but some still look really good.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read much suspense recently so I'll have to check some of these out!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I don't read much suspense books but I do really want to read A Long Way to a Small and Angry Planet and The Extinction Trials.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!
So, I have read about half of these, and own the other half basically hah. Wolves of Winter came SO close to making my cut, but it just fell a *little* short. Honestly if I knew there'd be a sequel, it probably would have made it.
ReplyDeleteI liked Contagion, I am looking forward to the next one. Did you ever read the second Extinction Trials book? I never got around to it, even though I did like the first one. I need to get Echoes for sure, and I have Cheerleaders, Obscura, Bad Girls, AND Record of a Spaceborn Few all sitting around waiting for me, so hopefully I like them as much as you did!
Happy New Year! I need to read RECORD OF A SPACE BORN FEW now. Hopefully before the end of January.
ReplyDeleteIt is so fun looking back to see what stood out. Love the cover of French's book!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Greg! Wolves of Winter made my list too! I didn't get to An Unwanted Guest in 2018. Hope this year if filled with lots of great reads.
ReplyDeleteI loved Contagion too! Kept you on the edge of your seat. great list!
