Woohoo! It’s Friday.  I hope you have some exciting bookish plans in store for the weekend.  Today I am delighted to welcome one of my favourite bloggers to damppebbles to share the #R3COMM3ND3D2018 book love.  The ever so lovely Rae of Rae Reads.  I’m a huge fan of Rae’s blog so I strongly recommend you head on over there now to take a peek (and then head straight back here to find out which three books Rae chose as her #R3COMM3ND3D2018 picks!).

#R3COMM3ND3D is all about the book love.  Can you name three books published last year which were standout reads for you? Three books you would recommend to everyone? That’s what #R3COMM3ND3D is all about.  Any genre, written by any author, published traditionally, by an indie press or by the author themselves.  The only catch being they must be from the same year.  At the moment we’re sharing the 2018 love but come 1st November it will be all about 2019’s releases.  If you’re a book blogger, author or you work in publishing and you would like to take part in #R3COMM3ND3D2019 then please complete the form at the bottom of this post.

Here are Rae’s choices…

The Chalk Man by C.J. Tudor
I loved how dark and intense this book was!

Lady Cecily and the Mysterious Mr Gray by Janice Preston
I have a soft spot for Historical Romance and this book is such a well written, gorgeous story!

Don’t Ever Look Behind Door 32 by B.C.R. Fegan
This is a book for children but has an element of suspense that I thought was great. I enjoyed it just as much as my children did!

Excellent choices, Rae. Thank you. One of my very favourite books and I think this is the first time we’ve had a children’s book included (which, as a mum of two, I love!).
