A Fall of Marigolds
- One of the first books I read in 2018 and it quickly went to the top of my list of all time favorites. It is a wonderful book and one not to be missed. If you want to know more about it, visit my post

The Art Forget
- January was a good month of reading for me. I had a lot of hits instead of misses that month. The Art Forger was a fantastic read. It is a bit of a historical fiction, non fiction, fiction book all rolled into one. The true story of the Elizabeth Stuart Gardner Museum heist mixed into this story was a fantastic way to write the book. If you want to read my review, you will find it
The Misremembered Man
- another book I read early in the year, and it was just one of the sweetest books I have read. The main character will tear at your heart strings. You can read my review

Salt to the Sea
I do love a good historical fiction book. And I have read many books about WWII, and count this one as one of the better ones. If you want to read my review, you will find it
The Bone Garden
A good mystery book to add to your list. This one takes place in Massachusetts (where we lived before we moved to Switzerland), so I was intrigued from the start. It is a well written mystery - where the author does leave the surprise until the end. Worth your time. If you want to read my review, you will find it
The Shadow of the Wind
I know I don't have an order to this list, but The Shadow of the Wind was probably one of the best books I have ever read. The writing is what blew me away. Superb writing and story telling. This one is not to be missed. If you want to read my review, you can see it
It Ends With Us
- A coming of age story with a woman trying to break a cycle of abuse. It is beautifully written and told. A powerful story that talks of love and hard choices. If you want to read my review, you will find it
Just Mercy
- well, I started the year with some amazing books, and I found that I ended with some as well. Just Mercy was an excellent non-fiction book about the challenges of our American prison system and a non-profit lawyer who works with people on death row. Very well written and a shocking story. Read my review
A Gentleman in Moscow
- A well told, incredibly moving book that helped me round out my 2018 reads. Beautifully written story of a man who lives out his days in a hotel in Moscow when he is placed under arrest, the story will intrigue you from beginning to end. If you want to read my review, you will find it
