This will be my last post for the Top 10 of 2018, I decided to not share the books I’m looking forward to in 2019. That list is extensive and not complete, so I don’t even know where to start. And it’s always a bit stressful for me to make lists like that. I hope you enjoyed my little wrap-up for the year and hope you all have the best year of reading!

My fellow bookish friend over at is hosting a December challenge featuring ! It has been tough try to plan ahead for these posts because it is so tough to narrow all of lists to ONLY 10, it’s damn right near impossible. But I did the best that I could and can’t wait to share with all of you until the end of the year.

Today’s prompt is Best of the Best! Okay, I know I’ve said this with every list, but this one was probably the toughest to narrow down to just 10. I have like 70ish on my list … I suck at updating my Goodreads list as I’m reading. I took some liberties and counted a couple series as one *shhhhh*.

The Beautiful Hearts Duet was what had me loving every single word she puts down on a page. If you read this duet and know the why’s of the reason she wrote these books, you can’t help but curl up into a ball and be a blubbering mess. I can’t recommend this author and duet enough, it’s an absolutely heart-wrenching and emotional story.

Gosh, just read the damn novella, you won’t regret it! And I think it’s major skills when an author has the ability to write such a short story and have you eager for the rest of this series!

REVIEW Filthy Gods

Definitely saving one of the bests for last! An author who writes about relevant issues and weaves effortlessly into an amazing romance. Long Shot is a painfully tough story to get through, but it’s all worth it for that HEA.
