Top Ten Tuesday is a feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s theme is: Top Ten Books I’m Looking Forward to In 2018 (These could be new releases, or books you resolve to read, ten debuts we are looking forward to, etc.)
Fun fact: I copied this as a draft from last year’s post. Look, I could pretend to be sorry, but 2017 has beat me down, guys. So I am taking the easy way out, sure. But not really because you know I’ll still link all the books and such. I am also super tired because it is Christmas and we all know I don’t plan ahead for anything. Womp womp. Also, if you’re curious about all the 2018 books I added to my TBR, here they are! (Also, can you cross your fingers that me copying a post meant for 2017 doesn’t also copy whatever bad juju brought this hellish year upon us? Super.)
I also only used books with covers, because apparently I am superficial like that. Except Cait’s book, because obviously.
The Debuts
The Sequels
And so many without covers, honestly!
The New Series
The Ones I’ve Read (and liked!)
The Others- I want to read them, but they didn’t fit a category!
(This includes books where a sequel has not formally been announced!)
Obsidio!! Super excited for that one. 9 Days & 9 Nights is another I can’t wait for. I really like Together at Midnight.There are so many good books coming out in 2018!!
I am SO (sososo) excited about Cait’s book… in fact, how I neglected to add her debut to my post is beyond me. *blogger fail*
Also on my “excited list” is “Heart of Iron.” That one sounds amazing, and I’m excited to read a novel by Ashley, too. 🙂
Hope you enjoyed a wonderful Christmas, Shannon.
I have Obsidio on my list as well. Cannot wait for that one!
Waaah. I always end up regretting (but loving) looking at your lists because it makes me want to read all of the books. ALL OF THE BOOKS! There are so many on here that I’d love to read. I hope you have a better 2018 Shannon.
Aw man! I can’t believe I forgot about Cait’s book! I hope we both enjoy it!
“A Thousand Perfect Notes” and “The Belles” made it to my list too. Seems like Cait is the favourite of many 🙂
I hope you get to read all these books soon 🙂

I’M SO EXCITED FOR A THOUSAND PERFECT NOTES TOO. IT’S GONNA BE AMAZING. I’M VERY HUMBLE. (Also very honoured it made your list. ??Aren’t you my favourite afjdskalfd.) Now I think I have most of these added?! But I’ll go add the rest because I want my TBR to hate me in 2018 obviously.
You’re not the only one! I’ve had some books on my TBR for years. May 2018 be a year of great reading for you. 🙂
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
Great list, Shannon! Dread Nation and Devils Unto Dust made my list this week, too, and I’ll definitely be adding Fatal Throne to my TBR – I’m a Tudor nut, so I’m ashamed I haven’t come across that one already. I hope you manage to have a very chilled Boxing Day and that 2018 is a much better year for you!
Ah your lists are amazing and always make my TBR explode but I’m also happy about that 🙂 I think I just added half of these to my 2018 TBR so thanks for that! Especially excited about The Extinction Trials, Restore Me, Onyx and Ivory, Furyborn and The Belles.
Wow such a great list! I totally forgot Reign of The Fallen on mine, even though I’m super excited for it! Here was me thinking I’d covered all bases!
My TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2017/12/26/top-ten-tuesday-139/
We have about three books in common! Also, I didn’t know about the new Katie Cotungo book?? Going to add it to my TBR now!

I can’t even begin to describe my excitement for all the new releases! I’m seriously overwhelmed and I have no idea where to start from. Hopefully, I’ll be able to read at least some of them throughout the year. My TBR shelf is more than full but, who cares? Right? Hope you’re having a wonderful time!
Um, how did I not know that 99 Days has a sequel???!!! Gaaaaah!!!!!!!! Consider my day made. May 1st – my anniversary. It’s a good omen. And Restore Me – absolutely. I totally need more Juliette and Warner and KENJI.
I just mad a general post of books I want to read-some older and some new!!
Clearly 2018 is gonna have some kickass covers. The Extinction Trials (I think that one will look so good in person), Defiant and Given to the Earth- amazing covers. Plus I need to read all those! Contagion looks like a trip too.
So many books!!! State of Sorrow is a new one to me but sounds like a cool premise, thanks for putting it on my radar 🙂
I am excited about The Wicked Deep and Shadowsong as well! There are so many 2018 releases that I am excited about!
So many good looking books here. I just need to add most of them to my wishlist. I’m dying to read Dread Nation even though a friend of mine didn’t care much for it. I NEED The Wicked Deep NOW!
I was falling all over myself when I heard we were getting a 99 Days sequel!!!!! There was more story to tell there. The Wicked Deep and Heretics Anonymous are debuts I MUST read, Obsidio is a most necessary read, as well as Restore Me (I am excited to get back in that world). I am really excited about new Paula Garner. I loved her last book so much! You have me so excited for 2018!!!
all the covers are so lovely, it make me want to read them all but sadly, I don’t. perhaps ‘unearthed’ as it sounds like a book I would like. & also the ‘a thousand beginnings and endings’ those stories sounded good.
have a lovely day.
I’m not usually up with books that have sequels or are part of a series, but surprisingly, the top two I’m all OMGNEED about from your list are Obsidio and Thunder Head.

You have picked the prettiest covers out there. The only books I recognized were Restore Me (there better be more Kenji in that book, gosh dang it), and Obsidio (I still have to catch up and read Gemina). To Kill a Kingdom and The Wicked Deep have such eerie covers, though. Dang it. I’m really curious as to how you find new books. I am still working through stuff that’s already been published.
Ahh what a great list! I can’t wait to read Cait’s debut as well, I am so happy it’s contemporary haha, my favorite genre <3
I'm also really, really excited for The Belles – so happy you loved it so much – and You'll miss me when I'm gone! 🙂
Very curious about Cait’s book. I am so not a contemporary reader but I shall get it to support her. <3 So many good looking and sounding books on your list. I could not choose just 10 either haha.
I hope you get a chance to read all these! I’m so excited for Obsidio. I need to know how that series ends.
I am DYING for Queens of Innis Lear! Also, how did you like Shadowsong? I gave the first book 3.5 stars so I’m kind of afraid for Shadowsong.
AND THUNDERHEAD IS ALMOST HERE!!!
We have two books in common today! THE BELLES and DREAD NATION. Both of them sound so good. I can’t wait!
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
I just downloaded Dread Nation the other day because it sounds AWESOME! Lots of other ones on this list I want to read too, and I’m really trying to hold myself back from looking up the others because… self control. (Don’t worry, it won’t last.)
Sky in the Deep, Obsidio, and City of Bastards are going to be awesome! 😀
Lauren @ Always Me
I have so many books I need to read that thinking about upcoming 2018 releases are giving me headaches xD I’m waiting for To Kill A Kingdom, Save the Date, and The Cruel Prince 😀
Wow! Lots of awesome books you got here! I really need to read the Belles soon!
Great list! It looks like you have a lot of great books to read soon! I can’t wait for Obsidio I have really enjoyed that series and can’t wait to see where it goes!
