Summary

Tune in to our Bests & Worsts of 2018 episodes to hear us discuss these titles and read excerpts from our favorites! Please note: We counted things that we read in 2018, regardless of publication year. We didn’t count anything that we read specifically for this podcast, so our worst books are aside from those. For that reason, we picked top 5 favorites and only 1 least favorite–we have this whole podcast to talk about bad books, so for these episodes we’re choosing to focus on the positive! Some of our “worsts” are really just “least best.” Listen to the podcast to hear more detail!

That you kind of already said in the introduction.

1:05.1

Also true.

1:06.4

So basically at the end of the year, we like to, in the spirit of the holidays, I guess,

1:12.5

talk about good things for once.

1:14.9

In the spirit of the holidays, in the spirit of how everybody is legally required to make best

1:19.4

of lists at the end of the year.

1:21.3

That is true.
