**Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and Bookish and now moved to The Artsy Reader Girl.**
How is it possible that we are halfway through the year already?! Looking back on the books I’ve read so far this year I realized I really have become more picky with my reading over the years but a few novels really stood out among the rest. Here are my top ten books of the year… so far (click on images for my reviews)!
5 STAR READS!
4.5 STAR READS!
What books have been your favorite so far in 2018?
Rissi @ Finding Wonderland
I’ve recently seen SO many good things about Helen’s novel – and look how rom-com cute its cover is. 🙂
Also, Jenn’s book is one I’m super curious about too. I don’t own her newest, but do have another of hers, so I’ll have to start there. 🙂

I really need to read Starry Eyes. I’ve heard such good things about it!
Chrissi Reads
I keep seeing Starry Eyes around today. A sign that I must read it, I think!
Sara @ Forever 17 Books
It is such a good book! Lots of fun and I love the romance in it!

Nicole @ Nicole's Novel Reads
I see that we share The Wicked Deep on both our TTT lists. I heard great things about Sky in the Deep.
Sara @ Forever 17 Books
YAY! I don’t think The Wicked Deep gets as much love as it deserves.

Woohoo! I loved Hoang and Bennett’s books. I read Love and Other Words but it wasn’t my fav. There are others up there I want to read too.

I completely agree with Starry Eyes, More than We Can Tell and Love and Other Words….All fantastic books! I still need to read A Darkened Shore and Sky in the Deep. It seems like everyone loves the Kiss Quotient too – should definitely make time for that one as well! Great list!

Rachel @Waves of Fiction
Yes! I loved The Kiss Quotient as well, and it’s on my list, too. Starry Eyes was also wonderful. Jenn Bennett is really rocking YA lately! Great list here! 🙂
Sara @ Forever 17 Books
I love Jenn Bennett’s YA reads! I haven’t checked out any of her adult novels yet but I’d love to sometime.

Ainslee @ Jest and Hearts Library
I Just finished Beyond a Darkened Shore and it was amazing. One of my new favourite books!
Tanya @ Girl Plus Books
I so agree with Love and Other Words. I loved that one so, so much. Macy and Elliott just came alive for me and my heart hurt for them. I really need to read More Than We Can Tell. I loved Letters to the Lost and I want to get Rev’s story. And The Kiss Quotient is so high on my TBR. Absolutely everyone raves about it!

Sky in the Deep sounds SO GOOD, and I LOVE that cover!
My TTT post!
Jen Ryland
Ooh. I’m loving reading all these best of 2018 posts. I need to read the Kiss Quotient because it sounds so different and because everyone seems to love it!

I haven’t read any of these, but The Wicked Deep is on my TBR list. I’m glad you liked it.

Suzanne @ The Bookish Libra
I absolutely loved three of your 5 star reads and haven’t read The Kiss Quotient yet. Since we seem to have similar taste in books, that tells me I need to hurry up and pick up a copy 🙂
Sam@WLABB
TKQ was PHENOMENAL!!! My list was kept YA (I cheated a little with Love and Other Words, but it’s a little YA), but if I had included adult books, TKQ would have been number 1. Starry Eyes was one of my faves this year. I just adore all that is Jenn Bennett. More Than We Can Tell was great too.
Sarah E.
I loved Starry Eyes – read it last month. I was a five star read for me too. Can’t wait to read more Jenn Bennett. I also have Sky in the Deep and The Wicked Deep on my immediate TBR, so I’m excited to see all this good hype about the two!

I’ve been hearing such good things about The Kiss Quotient! Not so much with The Wicked Deep, though I have it on my TBR. Hope the rest of your reading year will be amazing!

I am not going to lie, I haven’t gotten to read as much as I have wanted too this year but I do agree, Immortal Reign was hard to put down and I still want to read, We Are All That’s Left. I just finished The Selah Branch, unexpectedly good! The female protaganist– you really get behind her cause. I loved it. Ted Neil, the author– I enjoyed reading his bio, it made the story that much better…I found it here, http://www.tenebraypress.com.
Diann Miller
The Kiss Quotient– I loved it and hated it, I was conflicted on this one, anyone else experience this? Kris, I see you mention the Selah Branch. I’ve heard of Ted Neill but I think it was with another title….either way, I may have to look him up after this. Thank you for all of the recommendations, I’m never without a good book in hand! You’re recommendations are so valued, cheers!
