Top Ten Tuesday #7 | Best Reads of 2018 (So Far!)

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

July 10:
Best Reads of 2018 (So Far!)

I wanted to do something like this on Instagram and on here as an official post but since most of the boos I read are either books I got through Netgalley or books I borrowed from my friends but had to give them back I couldn't take a good photo with all of the books together. But I'm glad I could do it in this Top Ten format so -yay!

This time it ended up being a Top Eleven Tuesday.

I finally got my hands on and read The Ghost and the Goth which I've wanted to read since 2015. And I wasn't disappointed. And Killer Instinct was crazy good.

My Review:

Out, Out, Away From Here is one of those children's books that make me which I was a kid again. To be sitting in a corner reading this book and feeling all the beautiful emotions this book makes me feel now.

That, or to have a little one of my own and share this brilliant little, but ginormously enchanting story and just see their reactions.

I cried and felt happy when I finished reading this. It's that good.
