I realized I never came back and posted my favorite fiction that I read in 2018 (but wasn't published in 2018, I did get those.)
I started off the year with some old favorites and a classic science fiction tale that I hadn't tried before: Nightfall by Isaac Asimov. I read the short story version (and don't really want to taint it with the fleshed out version.) I really loved this story. The unknown really gets to us.
Later in the summer I finally got around to readins some Elizabeth Moon, starting with the Vatta's War series which was excellent but eclipsed by the Deed of Paksenarrion. Wow! I read all 1,500+ pages in less than 6 days. Excellent story.
After that I really enjoyed listening to the full cast / made for podcast Wolverine story written by Benjamin Percy. Wolverine: The Long Night. I don't read a lot of audio books unless I am travelling but this one was excellent.
Beyond this, the books I highlighted that were published in 2018 - Murderbot and The Lady Astronaut - were as good or better than these but I already mentioned them.
