List of 2018 Books Read

This list of 72 (or so) books consists of the ones I starred after reading. In all, I began 283 books during the past year. Of these I did not finish 88, having dropped some of them after one page, others after 100 pages or more. Thus, of the 195 books I finished, only 72 were awarded my gold star.
