Books of the Year: 2018
It's been a spectacularly good reading year.
Not only did I have a number of friends releasing their debut books, I also found a few new favourite authors in surprising places.
I won't be doing a 'Top Ten Books of 2018'-- reading is highly subjective, and my enjoyment is often tied to factors like where and when I'm coming to the book, and what sort of mood I am in-- but instead, in no particular order, I present some of the books that have stayed with me this year; books that I recommend to all of you.
The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin
I'd also like to give a special shout out to a few friends of mine who released their amazing debuts this year.
The Sisters' Song by Louise Allan
