Take ten: Best Books I have read in 2018 thus far

This is always a fun topic to think on, since it gives me the chance to look back on what I have read, rather than focusing on the ever growing (never diminishing;)) TBR pile. lol. Here are 10 of my favorite books from 2018, thus far!
As usual, the pictures will take you to Amazon so you can read more about the books I have on my list. These are affiliate links. Thank you for helping to supporting my hobby.;)

1. The Story Peddler

I actually just finished this one, and it was amazing! I love that it didn't go quite were I thought it would, in the best way possible. If you enjoy fantasy series, then I highly recommend this one!


2. Fawkes

This one is another fantastic fantasy story! I love how it meshes with history in a creative way.

3. The Hope of Azure Springs

This one is bittersweet. It's well written and a wonderful read though.

4. Called to Protect

This is an excellent series! I love that it is about a family involved in different forms of service, mostly law enforcement.

5. A Defense of Honor

I loved the start to this new series! It brought up some interesting questions.

6. A Song Unheard

Another series I am enjoying immensely! I love that it's about a family of orphaned thieves who wind up working for the British government at the start of WWI.

7. When Tides Turn

It took me a while to get into this one, but once I did, I loved it!

8. The Ladies of Ivy Cottage

I eagerly await the third book in this series, since the first two have been excellent!

9. Come to the Table

An excellent book on hospitality that included recipes.;)

10. Another Day, Another Dali

For some reason, I read this series out of order and finally went back to finish it. It was a fun mystery series!

What books are on your list this week?
