We asked our community to share their favorite books from the past year. With their help, we've curated the ultimate list of 2018 books to help you start off the new year right!
Our list includes personal development and empowerment focused reads, a special section for fan favorites (books with the most recommendations), and a long list of fictional novels.
One thing we loved the most was how the diversity of our community is represented across the diversity of the books that were chosen.
We can't wait to start reading some of these!
