Books of the Year: 2018
Here are my picks for the best books of 2018, fiction and nonfiction. These aren't the best books published this year, but rather the best I've read in the last twelve months. The winner in both categories is barely distinguished from the pack, and the runners up are all worthy of reading. Runners up appear in alphabetical order by their author's surname. Each title is linked to my review of the book.Fiction:
Winner:Runners up:
- A Rambling Wreck and The Brave and the Bold by Hans G. Schantz
I am jointly choosing these two novels as fiction books of the year. They are part of the ongoing Hidden Truth saga, the first volume of which was a 2017 Book of the Year.

- The Red Cliffs of Zerhoun by Matthew Bracken
- The Dream of the Iron Dragon by Robert Kroese
