Wow! What a year! At the beginning of 2017 I started my reading blog, so 2018 will see my one year anniversary for Reading with Moose. While there have been ups and downs, I can say that my reading has been nothing but rewarding, and I’m so happy to be able to share all of it with you all.

My goal for this year was to read 30 books, which I am happy to report, I surpassed this goal, reading a total of 34 books. 8 of these were ARCs and 15 were published in 2017. I read at home, at the research station, and in Japan. I thought this post would be a great time to summarize what books I enjoyed, or didn’t enjoy, the most. Let me know if you agree!

My favorite book of the year:

As good as 2017 was, I am looking forward to 2018. Many books I have been highly anticipating will be released, and I’m sure I will read many that I am not even aware of right now. I am raising my goal to 40 books, and will be playing a more active role here in the Blog-o-sphere. There will also be a couple of surprises heading your way, so look forward to that as well 😉 For now, Happy New Year, may it be prosperous and even better than 2017!
