Top Ten Tuesday: Best books of 2018 (so far)

Happy Top Ten Tuesday! Today’s theme is best books of 2018 (so far) and I’m not really sure what I’m going to do at the end of the year, because I couldn’t even narrow this list down to ten books. LOOKS LIKE IT’S A TOP 16 TUESDAY TODAY.

• Arrogant Devil by R.S. Grey | a steamy enemies-to-lovers romance featuring a whole heck of a lot of sexual tension!
• The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang | a Pretty Woman-inspired romance featuring a heroine with Asperger’s and the male escort she hires to teach her about sex!
• Nevernight by Jay Kristoff | a teenage girl heads off to assassin school so that she can avenge her father’s death!
• The Beau & the Belle by R.S. Grey | a romance featuring a reunion between the heroine and her (much older) childhood crush!

• We Are the Ants by Shaun David Hutchinson | an absolutely heartbreaking story about a teenage boy who is alternatively bullied and abducted by aliens!
• Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater | my favorite (I think) of all the Raven Cycle books!
• Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen | a teenage girl’s life falls to pieces after her beloved brother goes to jail!
• Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi | an adorable romance develops through many, many texts!

• We Were Eight Years in Power by Ta-Nehisi Coates | an essay + commentary from each of Obama’s eight years in office!
• Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie | fifteen suggestions for raising a little feminist!
• Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates | an incredibly well-written memoir about growing up black in America!
• Love Scene, Take Two by Alex Evansley | a super-cute love story about an author and the lead actor in the film adaptation of her book!

• Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren | another heartbreaking book, this time about childhood friends-turned-lovers who break up and then are reunited many years later!
• Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng | an amazing character-driven novel about two suburban families, set in the 90s!
