I always preface these posts by saying that even though this is a “Best of” list, it’s a list of my personal favorites and may not be recently released books or even books released in 2018. I often read new books along with older ones I’ve been meaning to get to. That said, here is what I read and loved this year:

Rainbirds by Clarissa Goenawan

A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles

Tin Man by Sarah Winman

Killing Commendatore by Haruki Murakami

Becoming by Michelle Obama

My list is pretty short this year as my reading was down overall, but I think this is a pretty solid bunch.
