Hi everyone! I know it’s been a ghost town on this blog for a while. I meant to get back to it but things got in the way. I doenjoy this little book list habit I got into a few years ago, and I want to keep doing it every year.
What book list habit? A few years ago, I started doing the “My Year in Books” at the end of the year, because I saw it on a friend’s blog. Go check out Lisa’s blog (where I first saw “My Year in Books”); her blog is called Two Bears Farm. The first time I had done “My Year in Books" was because she had done it on her blog. I believe she had done it because she'd found it on someone else’s blog. But I don’t think that original blog is up and running anymore. I can no longer find it.
Ever since I first participated in the year-end “My Year in Books” theme, I’ve made it a habit to wrap up my year in books on or around December 31st.
The idea is that you take the following prompts and "answer" each one with the title of a book you read during the year.
So here is "My Year in Books, 2018.”

The Escape Artist, by Brad Meltzer

I’m woefully behind in my yearly reading, so this year’s responding to the prompts took some thought. Also, some of my book titles this year were repeats. I had read books in the past and enjoyed them. So when I had some long road trips, I’d revisit those stories (that I’d read a year or more ago) via audiobook.
