Books I meant to read in 2018 // Top Ten Tuesday
Every year, no matter how much I read, there are always books that fall by the wayside. Books that I start but never get around to finishing and ones that I never pick up in the first place. 2018 was no exception.
I began last year with great intentions: to read every day, limit my book-buying habit, and focus on the books already on my TBR. I didn't exactly fail at any of those goals (although I DEFINITELY could have done better!) but there were a lot of books that I meant to read and just... didn't.
Here are ten books that I should have read in 2018 (and will hopefully read this year):

Let's chat! What books did you mean to read in 2018? Have you read any of the books on my list? If so, which should I prioritise in 2019? Leave me a comment and a link to your TTT so I can check out your list as well!
Niamh, xo.
I think The Undercurrent sounds really good! Hope you get a chance to read some (or all) of these in 2019!
ReplyDeleteAh I really hope so, too! I'm going to make a concentrated effort to reduce my TBR this year and these books are at the top of the list!
DeleteDon't feel bad about the books you didn't read. Feel good about the one you did! I am toying with giving A Throne of Glass and Rebel of the Saints a try. Maybe Kite Runner, too, but I don't think could get through "that" scene. Here's my TTT: https://dinaratengri.com/2019/01/books-i-meant-to-read-in-2018-but-didnt/
ReplyDeleteThat's a much more positive way of looking at things! If you do try those books, let me know what you think!
DeleteI liked The King Runner a lot. Hope you do, too.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday.
I've heard amazing things about it and it's been on my TBR ever since I read (and loved) A Thousand Splendid Suns almost ten years ago!
DeleteI love the cover for A Thousand Perfect Notes. Hope it's a good read.
ReplyDeleteThis is my Top Ten Tuesday post.
Isn't it just gorgeous?! Cait just revealed the cover of her next book (out in April) and it's just as stunning! I'm hoping I can read both this year!
DeleteSome great books on this list, I hope you enjoy them!

Thank you, I'm sure I will!
DeleteBefore the Devil Breaks You got my attention since the moment I read about it. Throne of Glass is also a series I need to start as soon as possible. Hope you enjoy all your 2019 reads!

I'm low-key terrified to read Before the Devil Breaks You. I listened to the first two via audiobook and they're brilliantly narrated but so spooky! Hopefully we can both read the Throne of Glass series this year!
DeleteThe 5th Wave was a great book (although I didn't care for the sequels as much). Last year I got to read Flame in the Mist, Throne of Glass, and Ace of Shades and they were good. I still have to read A Thousand Perfect Notes though! Hope we get to them this year.
ReplyDeleteAce of Shades was one of my most-anticipated releases last year so I'm hoping to get to it before the sequel is released! I'm also planning to read the entire Throne of Glass series this year, so wish me luck!
