(Ugh wayyy too sick to make a graphic- luckily the rest of the post was done before I got sick ?)
Top Ten Tuesday is a feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s theme is: Books I Meant to Read In 2018 but Didn’t Get To
True story: I was much better in 2018 in regards to buying/obtaining books and not reading them. But… it’s hard to get worse in my particular case, so it was easy peasy to find 2018 books that I neglected to read yet! Because I am a mess.
These are only 2018 releases because okay, otherwise this could take forever. I just listed these by release date, earliest fails first!
Which one do you think I should read first? Any of them make your list?

Strange New World- same here. Fail. Defiant reminds me that I want to read that series. And Record of a Spaceborn Few- well you know how I am about those. 🙂
Given to the Earth looks awesome or maybe I just love that cover sooo much.
Oh yes Legendary.
Record was pretty good!
I hope you feel better soon!
So Muse and Legendary are the only ones on your list that I read…bUT I ATTEST TO THEIR IMMENSE GREATNESS.?My list this week could’ve been like 4908 books long lmao sob. I feel like I was woeful at reading last year, and I’m just SO behind!!
I really need to read Record of a Spaceborn Few too! I wanted to buy it but in paperback version, which came out later/was so expensive. I hope you’ll be able to get to these soon 🙂
Hey, we both have The Emerald Sea on our list. I have zero excuses for that one, since I made the effort to buy it and what not. I forgot about Legendary. I was happy when my co-blogger reviewed it for us, because I knew I didn’t have the time, but I am a fan, and really want to read it.
I still need to read Brave New Girl myself! Seeing a lot of Strange New World today and making me realize I need to get my binge reading going! Lol! I still need to read Heart of Ash as well! Still need to read the second book of the Glittering Court trilogy!
Here’s my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!

Great list, Shannon! Record of a Spaceborn Few made my list this week, too. I love the cover of Hiro Loves Kite!
I also keep meaning to read Record of a Spaceborn Few. I hope it happens for both of us soon.
This is my Top Ten Tuesday post.
Ah Legendary was amazing-one of my favourite reads of last year, so I hope you enjoy it too!
My TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2019/01/22/top-ten-tuesday-195/
I hope you get a chance to read these soon! I keep saying that I want to read that Becky Chambers series and the Laini Taylor series. Have I read them yet? No. Have I bought copies of them? Nope. I’ll just keep telling everybody that I want to read them and then never actually do it.
None of those books is for me. I suggest you concentrate on good 2019 choices.
Muse of Nightmares!
I’m just as guilty when it comes to Record of a Spaceborn Few, but my shame goes even deeper, since I never read A Closed and Common Orbit after adoring The Long Way to A Small Angry Planet.
I could technically guilt myself over Muse of Nightmares, but considering I’m still currently reading Strange the Dreamer I think I’ll give myself some leeway.
I want to read Livia Blackburne.I think the reason I haven’t ready is the crazy price of both the books on kindle! They’re £12-15 each! 🙁 For a kindle book, that just wont fly with me…
The Emerald Sea made my list, but there are several others on here I want to read as well. I need more hours in the day!!
I love your list mainly because I’ve not heard of most of these books (which is sad for the toppling TBR but good for me). Good luck getting some of them read.
HTML: Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
I only featured 2018 releases too because if not, I don’t think the list would ever be over. =P I hope you have a chance to read all of these books this year. I read State of Sorrow last week, but I meant to read when it came out.
Feel better soon. 🙂

I need to get to Abandoned as well. I loved Outpost so much that there is really no excuse. I didn’t realize the sequel to Blood and Salt is out – hmmm, gonna have to see if my library has that one or can get it.
This is a great list! I am still nervous about reading Legendary, I liked Caraval, though I didn’t love it and I’ve heard great things about that one, so I’m curious to continue on with the series but… I don’t know, I’m nervous for some reason haha 🙂 I hope you’ll get to read these books! <3
The only one I’ve read on your list is Legendary. I REALLY enjoyed it! I didn’t like Caraval at all, but Legendary was amazing. *_*
I really want to get to State of Sorrow this year!
My TTT post!
I haven’t read any of these but hope you get to and enjoy all of these!
Legendary is definitely worth the read! I liked it even better than Caraval! I’d start there!
I was so intent on tackling my physical TBR pile last year that I missed out on a lot of new releases and, of course, ones that I own, planned on reading and still didn’t get to. It seems never ending lol
Karen @ For What It’s Worth
Wow, Hiro Loves Kite has such a stunning cover! I haven’t read any of these, but I hope you enjoy all of them! In 2019, I really want to get to Call Me By Your Name and An Absolutely Remarkable Thing.

‘Legendary’ and ‘Record of a Spaceborn Few’ are both amazing. I hope you get to read them soon. Great list! 🙂
Hmmm… both Muse of Nightmares and Legendary were really good. I think I liked Muse of Nightmares better though. Hope you can get to all of these this year!
Oh gosh, so many books I planned to read last year…and the years before…and never did. I STILL need to read Strange the Dreamer, but it will happen.
-Lauren
Legendary was a great sequel. I hop you like it! I also need to get to Given to the Earth and The Defiant. 🙂
Check out my TTT and my ARC review of Enchantée by Gita Trelease
Muse of Nightmares is the only one I read, and I read it like a week after it came out, which is FAST for me. I love that world. The others are all things I could miss.
Feel better soon, Shannon! And I haven’t read any of these series/books yet so…pull a Bellamy and read whatever you feel like. 😉
Record of a Space Born Few is on my list for this year. I read the first two books in that series at the end of 2018. 🙂
These look so amazing! I especially would love to read Laini Taylor’s new book, since I was a fan of her trilogy, Daughter of Smoke and Bone. Great list Shannon <3 miss seeing you around the blog community.
I haven’t read any of these either and as I am so out of the loop with new releases and on a book buying ban 😀 But State of Sorrow and also Given to the Sea are two on my wishlist to read as well. I hope you’ll be able to get to these in 2019 😀
I promise I’m not totally flailing around yelling “READ LEGENDARY” at my laptop right now. In all sincerity, I hope you get to it (and the rest of these books) ASAP and enjoy them! I still need to get to The Emerald Sea as well. I’m so disappointed in myself for not having gotten to it yet!
Oh my gosh, I need to read Mindy McGinnis’s fantasy series. I haven’t even read the first book. ? I am really behind on books as well. I’ve been an audiobook fiend trying to catch up.
I really hope that by the time I’m commenting here, since it’s been a couple days since you posted, that you’re feeling a bit better and less sick, Shannon <3 <3
I haven't read any of these on your list – I do need to read the Strange The Dreamer series though, I only heard incredible things about these books 😀
All these books sound great! 🙂
