Read in 2018

[tamaranth]

* 85 books, all fiction
* 67 by women, 19 by men, 1 by a non-binary writer. (Some collaborations, hence the numbers not quite adding up)
* 14 rereads
* 36 fantasy, 9 SF, 20 historical (1 11th century, 2 17th century, 5 18th century, 11 19th century, 1 20th century though I read quite a few other novels set in the 20th century and didn't tag those as historical. 4 of these are also alternate history ...)
* 15 romances, 8 of them M/M.

Best five, excluding rereads:
* Elegy / Swansong -- Vale Aida (I'm counting these as a single book)
* Band Sinister -- KJ Charles
* Behind the Scenes at the Museum -- Kate Atkinson
* Hag-Seed -- Margaret Atwood
* Exit Strategy -- Martha Wells
