Podcast Notes

Please note! We recorded this podcast at the beginning of December, so just in case we read something else from 2018 that trumps one of these books, we totally reserve the right to change our minds.

We kick things off with some stats, including how many books and audiobooks we read (and re-read) this year and our most-read genres, which surprised one of us.
Then we talk about our favorite books we read in 2018 and the books we were excited about but didn’t love as much as we anticipated.
We dished surprising books–either in a good way or a bad way and the books we pushed the hardest.
We talked about our favorite newly discovered authors in 2018 and our faves that put us out of our comfort zones.
