The end of the year means it's time to recap the year and look back on what kept me entertained in 2018! It's been a wonderful year personally -- I will be an uncle again next year, my best friend published her first book and got engaged, and I met a wonderful man who I'm lucky enough to call my boyfriend. I can't wait to see what's in store for 2019! But first, here are my favorite things entertainment-wise from 2018.
BOOKS: I didn't read quite as much as I did in 2017, or quite as much as I wanted to, but these are my Top 5 books from 2018.
Here are some honorable mentions: I just got autobiographies from Michelle Obama (Becoming) and Sally Field (In Pieces), so they didn't make the cut -- but I'm certain I'll love them! Crazy Rich Asians - Kevin Kwan A few years old, but I read it in anticipation of the film release and loved it! The Mother of Black Hollywood - Jenifer Lewis This book came out at the end of 2017, but I read it early this year. It is laugh out loud funny, and offers a unique perspective on mental illness. MOVIES: I tend to binge watch movies during award show season, so I won't have my full take on 2018 movies until February just before the Academy Awards. But, so far this year, Love, Simon has been my favorite movie! I also really loved Crazy Rich Asians, Deadpool 2, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, and the documentary RBG. MUSIC: By far my favorite musical event of 2018 was the Shania Now Tour, which I was lucky enough to see twice! Now was also by far the album I listened to the most this year, even though it came out in the fall of 2017. As for this year, Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves tops my list of best albums released. It is a magnificent work of art. I also really enjoyed Cher's ABBA covers album, Dancing Queen, and The Greatest Showman: Reimagined. These are my Top 20 singles of the year:
Honorable Mentions: "Beg" by Jack & Jack, "Havana" by Camila Cabello, and "Tequila" by Dan + Shay TELEVISION: My Top 10 shows of 2018: Altered Carbon Brooklyn Nine Nine Fresh Off The Boat Grace and Frankie Insecure Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Queer Eye Real Country Schitt's Creek Superstore 2018 MIDTERM ELECTIONS: And finally, here is a list of my favorite 18 winners from the 2018 elections!
