I can’t believe 2018 is over. I feel like only yesterday I was setting these goals for this past year. The good news is, I’ve met a few of my goals and have set some new ones to share with you as we enter a new year of reading! In this post, I've reflected on last year's goals and shared my new goals for this year.

        Happy holidays fellow readers! Since Christmas is quickly approaching, I thought it would be fun to create a gift list for all the bookish people in your life. This past year of reading for me has been a compilation of so many different types of books, so I feel I am able to find a story for your best friend AND that one aunt who you only see once a year (and aren’t sure of her name). I hope you enjoy and remember to spread holiday cheer to all of the people who matter most to you through a book.

       I don’t know about you guys, but I love dogs with my entire being (and that’s an understatement). Dogs are the cutest, kindest, and most lovable creatures to ever walk this planet, and you can’t convince me otherwise. The best part of my day is opening up my Twitter feed to find a new tweet from @dog_feelings. My dad even got me a “gooob morning” mug. (#dadgoals) So, I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to compile three of my favorite YA books with dogs in them. 

       ​​‘Tis the season for giving, especially new YA books. I can’t believe it’s December already, which means is my last edition of Precommendations: Volume 2! 2018 has been a year full of fantastic new releases, and this month is no different. Make sure you let me know what books you are looking forward to being released this month, as well as if you would like to see me do this series again next year!
