We are almost half way through 2018 and it feels like about time to give an update on my reading challenge. Unfortunately, I am a bit behind, but I am hoping that the warmer weather will prompt me to sit on my patio, with a cocktail and a good book, many evenings to come. Until then – here are the reads that I have completed thus far in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Death of Expertise: The Campaign Against Established Knowledge and Why It Matters <\/strong>by Tom Nichols ***<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re Going to Need More Wine<\/strong> by Gabrielle Union ****<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milk and Honey<\/strong> by Rupi Kaur ****<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bad Feminist: Essays<\/strong> by Roxanne Gay ****<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eleanor & Park<\/strong> by Rainbow Rowell ****<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see – I have not read any 5 star<\/g> books, but I also have not read anything less than 3 stars, so I think that is a good start. I am also doing pretty well at completing all the books I start and I am trying my best to read one book at a time (this I have not been so good at).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the Book Riot Challenge – the books above fulfill 3 of the categories<\/g><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A book of social science: Nichols<\/g><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A celebrity memoir: Union<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An essay anthology: Gay<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far this year I am ahead of previous years, but I still feel like my pace is too slow. Hopefully<\/g> the summer will inspire me to do more reading!<\/g><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are you fairing with your 2018 book challenges and tbr<\/g> lists? Let me know in the comments!<\/g><\/p>\n\n\n\n
