Hey everyone! I wanted to share what books I really want to get to in this New Year! Since I don’t read as much as I used to, I wanted to keep this post small and to the point. Majority of these books have been released already and some I am still waiting for! The list is an no particular order. Without further ado, let’s get started! (all links lead you to the goodreads page)
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas a YA Realistic Fiction take on the black lives matter movement and police brutality.
Tash Hearts Tolstoy by Kathryn Ormsbree a YA Contemporary book about a girl who’s an “overnight” internet sensation and when an online flirtation can happen in real life, how will she tell him that she’s a romantic asexual?
Ringer (Replica #2) by Lauren Oliver a continuation of the YA SciFi Dystopian novel Replica. After discovering some uncomfortable truths about the Haven Institute and cloning, we see what happens afterwards in Ringer.
Hunting Prince Dracula (Stalking Jack the Ripper #2) by Kerri Maniscalco the continuation of the YA Historical Fiction Mystery Stalking Jack the Ripper, we follow the main character Audrey in another adventure featuring Vlad the Impaler.
Obsidio (The Illuminae Files #3) by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff in continuation of the amazing YA SciFi novels Illuminae and Gemina, comes Obsidio with more action and adventure. This is the finale of the teams and oh my heart be still.
Wonder Woman: Warbringer (DC Icons #1) by Leigh Bardugo a YA Fantasy following one of my favorite heroes, Diana, who has risked exile for saving a mortal which changes everything.
Unearthed (Unearthed #1) by Amie Kaufman and Megan Spooner a YA SciFi that has to do with earth getting a message from a long extinct alien race, infiltration, secrets, and survival.

The Last Magician by Lisa Maxwell a YA Fantasy filled with time-travel and historical fiction, one character has to travel back in time to 1902 to steal an ancient book. However Old New York is filled with gangs, secret societies, and too much magic.

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.

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!
