\"Animal<\/p>\n

I managed to read a few short classics this year and Animal Farm was my favorite. The simplicity of this book blew me away. I can understand why George Orwell is so highly praised. I’m definitely going to read more of his books this year.<\/p>\n

7. Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Lady<\/p>\n

I’m sure Lord of Shadows would have been on this list if I had read in 2017. But I didn’t. ‘<\/p>\n

Lady Midnight is the first books in The Dark Artifices series by one my favorite YA fantasy authors. It was good to go back to the Shadow world. Emma and Julian were amazing protagonists and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.<\/p>\n

\"Cobalt<\/p>\n

I read Cobalt Blue in one sitting and it was one of the most engaging books I’ve ever read. The story was very powerful and the writing was amazing. This book took me by surprise and I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a translated Indian book.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0The Tree with a Thousand Apples by Sanchit Gupta<\/a><\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Set in Kashmir, this is a beautifully sad book. I don’t want to go into much detail as I have already done a full review of it. You can check it out here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
