Top Ten Reads of 2018

This year, I did a podcast with critic, podcaster, and fellow voracious reader Jeremy Maddux where he and I listed our favorite reads along with discussing numerous other things that happened this year.

You can listen to that podcast here.

Skip to 1:24:00 if you just want to listen to the book portion. Meanwhile, here are what my picks are. Keep in mind, these picks are based on the books I read in 2018, not necessarily books published in 2018.
