Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is: Best Books I’ve Read in 2018 (So Far).
Top Ten Tuesday is a meme that I only very rarely participate in but with the topic being the best books I’ve read this year so far I thought why not as it is always cool to share the book love and shout about the books you enjoy. 🙂
A combination of fantastic fantasy and gloriously dark thrillers for me so far this year.
The review for each book is linked to the title of the book in the list if you wish to check any of the reviews out. 🙂
Best Books I’ve Read in 2018 (So Far).
- A Time of Dread (Of Blood and Bone 1) by John Gwynne.
- The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton.
- The Chalk Man by C. J Tudor.
- Blood of Assassins (The Wounded Kingdom #2) by R J Barker.
- Hunted (The Voices Book 2) by G X Todd.

I’ve just read Chalk Man and can see why it made your top ten. I still have Stuart Turton and also Hydra to read, and still haven’t bought Ravencry yet.

It is so good.👍 Hydra and Evelyn are both fantastic too as is Ravencry.👍 Have you read Blackwing?🤔📚

Yes I have read Blackwing, I did get confused with some of it but I’m hoping that it’s because it’s the start of the series. I often find that this is something that does happen for me with books that have lots of detail and story. So I’m looking forward to the next so that it clarifies things for me more.

*groan* And I STILL haven’t got around to Malice!! But I’m easing up on the Netgalley arcs for the rest of the year so I can focus on my teetering TBR… A great bunch of books, Drew:)

Still haven’t gotten around to Malice, the horror and the shame!😱😂 Alas, we all know it too well, too many books and never enough time for them all.

I know… It’s just plain UNREASONABLE of folks to expect me to go to work instead of read all day!

Chalk Man is definitely up there at the top for me, such a powerful book. I need to read Evelyn Hardcastle as I’ve heard great things.

Hey there! Long time no see 🙂
I haven’t read any of these books, but am really interested in The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle… I’m trying to get my book club to pick it so I can kill two birds with one stone lol
Side note and completely unrelated – have you read The Kingkiller Chronicle books by Patrick Rothfuss? I started the first book (The Name of the Wind) in preparation of meeting the author himself next week when he comes to Cincinnati… It feels like your kind of book. I am only 100-ish pages in so far but am really enjoying it.
