Books of 2018

This past year has been a year full of books. I've read so many books, but the problem is finishing them. At some point, I've become a discriminating reader. I will stop or skip through a book because I found it too cliche, boring, annoying, etc. So, the list below are the books that I actually read through, cover to cover. It's a list of books that I can consciously say, "I've read it."

38. The Comfort Food Diaries--Emily Nunn
39. I Take You--Eliza Kennedy
40. The Dire King--William Ritter
41. Lethal Licorice--Amanda Flower

Of the books I read, I'd recommend The tattooist of Auschwitz. The book is a mix between a memoir and fiction. The story is the actual story of a survivor from Auschwitz. It made me cry, laugh out loud, and angry. It created a storm of emotions in me, which I didn't think was possible.

The other book I'd recommend is The Comfort Food Diaries. It's Emily Nunn's memoir of certain periods of her life. It's quite interesting and made me think of my own family and the dynamics between my family and me. There are a lot of recipes in there too, which are interesting from a cultural perspective.

Overall, I've had a good year of reading. Hopefully, I'll read more this year.
