10 Great Books To Read This Year

This populuar list of great books to read list first appeared here in 2018.

If you’re like me and don’t always need to read the latest, newest book – prefer just a solid, good page turner, this list is for you!

 

10 GREAT BOOKS TO READ

 

 
 
Last week on Instagram (to be exact, on this post)  I asked for some great book suggestions for our upcoming trip to Florida.
 
I got a fantastic response!
 
Several people asked me to post the book list, but it was so long ( I also got DMs, tweets, email and texts- a sure sign of a very enthusiastic group of book lovers!)
 
So, instead I consolidated the list down to the top ten.
 
Thinking you could always just check the Instagram comments if you were curious about the rest. 
 
The overall consensus was The Nightingale by Kristen Hannah.
 
Everyone who read this book was so passionate about it I had to pick it for myself.
 
Have you read it yet? 
 
I’m sure I’ll be making my way down the rest of this list well into the summer!
 
I’ve only read  Atonement, from the list of books suggested. 
 
I might also get the Audible audio books app, a few people raved about this as well.
 
Thanks so much to everyone who helped me compile this!
