So many books, so little time—part 12.
My son started keeping a reading list in third grade, so I did too. This is the 12th year we’ve done this.
My favorite books of 2018 were probably Half a Yellow Sun, by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie; The Glitch by Elizabeth Cohen; A Gentleman in Moscow, by Amor Towles; Young Jane Young by Gabrielle Zevin; and Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng (soon to be a series with Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington, which will be awesome).
Anyway, I’d love to hear about other people’s favorite books this year.
