Rachel tagged me in this a couple of weeks ago and I’m getting to it extremely late! 2018 posts are pretty much done, but here’s one (hopefully last) one from me. 🙂 The tag was created by Adam @ Memento Mori on booktube.
The longest book you’ve read this year and the book that took you the longest to finish.
Crooked Kingdom was the longest book I read, at 536 pages. But Quiet Rumours took me the longest–a whopping 126 days!!!–because I kept forgetting to read it!
A book you read in 2018 that was outside of your comfort zone.
I’d say The Body is Not an Apology was a bit outside of my comfort zone. I don’t read much self-help, but picked this up at the recommendation of a friend.
How many books did you re-read in 2018?
I re-read 5 books and I am JUST NOW realizing they were all Tamora Pierce books. I read The Immortals quartet for the billionth time, and the first book in the Trickster’s Choice duology for the millionth time. (I’ll be re-reading the second in the duology soon!)
Favorite re-read of 2018.
I’m taking Rachel’s answer as well and saying all of them! Tamora Pierce are comfort books for me and I love coming back to them.
A book you read for the first time in 2018 that you look forward to re-reading in the future.
The top three books on my Top 10 Reads of 2018 list are all ones I cannot wait to revisit again.
Favorite single short story or novella that you read in 2018.
I don’t remember many of the short stories I read, but Ghost Wall certainly stands out a LOT to me.
Mass Appeal: A book you liked and would recommend to a wide variety of readers.
I’ll have to agree with Rachel on this and say The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. It checks a lot of boxes!
Specialized Appeal: A book you liked but would be hesitant to recommend to just anyone.
The Pisces! I get so anxious and also excited when people read it because I have no idea what they’ll think, but it’s one of my all-time favorites now.
Reflect on your year as a bookish content creator (goals met, good/bad memories, favorite videos blog posts you made, etc).
This is… such an intense question, ha. I definitely developed much more of a habit of blogging. I got onto a mostly consistent schedule, made and solidified friendships in the community, and had consistently better and better stats as the year went on. I feel really good going into 2019! I feel reinvigorated and am hoping I can keep up the same pace this year.
Tag some fellow bookish content creators.
Since we’re already almost 3 weeks into 2019, I’m not going to tag anyone BUT please feel free to do this and drop your link so I can see your responses!

Yay for Ghost Wall! It’s been such a grower for me; the more time I take to think about it, the more I love it.

Same here! I’m really excited to re-read it again, probably during the second half of 2019.

I’m so curious about Ask Me About My Uterus. I’ve been avoiding it because reading about medical issues stresses me out but I’ve heard it’s really good!

It’s really wonderful! Stressful at times for sure, but so well-written. I’m actually thinking about re-reading it soon since I’m going through some medical issues of my own and could use the inspiration.

That’s good to know! I feel like I could use it too, it’s just bracing myself for knowing it’ll be stressy. I hope your issues are resolved soon!

Omg I know what you mean about The Pisces, I’ve told so many people to read that book but I’m always nervous about it because uhh… obviously. Also I read Crooked Kingdom on my Kindle so I hadn’t realized it was that long, wow!!

I literally keep being like “oh, it’s so good! It’s amazing! Breathtaking! But really not for everyone, so like, you might not like it, but for sure give it a shot.” And yeah! I read the hardcover of Crooked Kingdom lmaoo it was Very Large.
