Thrillist's the 32 Best Books of 2018

"There are so many books being published every month, so how can we boil a year's worth of titles down to a few bests? Taste is arbitrary, but here's the basic goal: These books are exciting, interesting, and well-written, genre be damned. (Though if you're looking for the best comics or graphic novels, we have another list for that.) Some are conversation-drivers, others are hidden gems. Even if you're the kind of reader who's always a year behind, start adding these books to your must-read pile. You'll get around to them eventually."
