Can you Choose ONE Best Book You'd Recommend From 2018?

 

 

This is a tough one for me, but I'm going to stick to the topic and choose only one (although there were several).

 

Mine would be The Story of Arthur Truluv, by Elizabeth Berg. It had everything I love in a book: happiness, sadness, engrossing storyline, beautiful and interesting characters, and written by one of my VERY favorite authors.

 

Can you all name ONE of your favorite books you read in 2018?

 

Thank you, and a Happy and Healthy New Year to all of you lovely readers!

I like your choice, mine would have to be " Becoming" by Michelle Obama. I like to read books about people I admire.

#1 hands down is Kristin Hannah's The Great Alone.  I read 69 books this year and this one was my favorite.  There were a few more also.

"Ship of Fools" by Tucker Carlson.  One of my favorite people would be Alan Derschowitz.  I'm getting ready to read his latest book now.

@QVCkitty1-  I'm on the last few pages of Becoming right now. I am savoring the ending like good chocolate because I don't want it to end. For reasons we all know, I won't go into the details of the book at all, except to say she wrote a beautiful memoir and I'm so glad that so many people are reading it and enjoying it.
