  2. Fantastic list! I am pretty sure 98% of my TBR is compromised of older publications 😉 So I feel you. I really hope you enjoy The Girl in the Tower as much as I did. I love her writing. I cannot wait to read Children of Blood and Bone, but it is soooo large haha.

  3. I hope you are able to read more in 2018! Off of this list, I’ve read The Hate U Give, Wonder Woman, The Girl in the Tower, and The Daughter of the Pirate King. Personally, I would place The Hate U Give and The Girl in the Tower at the top of your 2018 TBR! Both were 5 star reads for me. I don’t even typically like YA Contemporary, but THUG is everything. AND The Girl in the Tower was even better than The Bear in the Nightingale!
