Top Ten Books I Resolve to Read in 2018
Top Ten Tuesday is a fun weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic 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.)
* * * * *
Now that the end of the year is upon us, it’s time to start thinking about those New Year’s resolutions. Normally I don’t make many because I almost always fail at them, but I’m thinking I might actually have a good chance of succeeding at a bookish-themed resolution.
In that spirit, I’ve come up with a list of Top 10 Books I Resolve to Read in 2018. These are all books that I have heard nothing but wonderful things about but somehow still have not managed to make the time to read them. It’s actually embarrassing how long some of them have been on my TBR and how long I’ve talked about how much I’m dying to read them but then never following through. So now it’s time to make a real effort to do something about it.

YES to Dark Matter!! Such a good book. Salt to the Sea was another gem. I did both on audio and were done s well. Good luck getting to these!
Thanks! I’m putting Dark Matter on a couple of challenge TBRs so hopefully I’ll be extra motivated to get to it soon.
Ah, I hope you love Dark Matter! It was so good! I liked Ink and Bone, it definitely was non-stop action. Rebel of the Sands is one that’s on my list for next year, too.
I’m glad to hear you enjoyed Ink and Bone. I haven’t seen too many reviews for that one, which is one of the reasons I keep pushing it aside for other books.
Oh I do love bookish resolutions 🙂 I’ve read and loved Shadow and Bone, Nevernight and The Raven Boys so I hope you’ll love them as well! All the others are still on my TBR, so I hope to get to them soon, especially Rebel of the Sands and Ink and Bone.
I really need to get The Raven Boys off my TBR. I think it has been on there for at least 2 years now, lol.
Best of luck – these are all great reads is the reviews are anything to go by. I can personally vouch for Rebel of the Sands, which I loved. Dark Matter is certainly one I want to get hold of . I hope you get these read and off your TBR list:))
Everyone keeps telling me I need to read Dark Matter, so hopefully that means it will be a great read for us both.
I need to do this!! Shadow and Bone has been on my TBR forever. I hope you get to everything on your list!
Thanks!
I’m hoping to read the last two books of Shadow and Bone next year. I’ll probably will have to re-read Shadow and Bone since I first read it in 2016.
Happy readings! 😉
Thanks, you too!
Two of my favorites on your list, so I definitely hope you get to these in the upcoming year!
I hope so too!
Dark Matter is so good and kinda trippy. ESpecially the end when things get crazy. 🙂 And A Feast for Crows- lots of stuff happens in that one. 🙂
Fun list!
Thanks!
I read the Raven Cycle books and started the Great Library books. I really liked them both. I had my eye on Dark Matter. I have seen so many raves. I think I need to check it out.
Yes, I think Dark Matter is the one I’m most excited to read on my list. So many of my go-to bloggers loved that one.
I love Ink & Bone so I definitely recommend it. I need to start the Raven Cycle books as well.
Glad to hear you enjoyed Ink and Bone 🙂
Oh I need to read some of these still too. I own Ink and Bone, and my sister has Salt to the Sea, so I’m one step closer right? LOL I also really want to read Nevernight! I’ve only read The Raven Boys from your list but I’ve read the whole series and it’s great!

The Raven Boys is the one I’m most embarrassed to still have on my TBR. I’ve been wanting to read it for several years now and just keep pushing it off. Hopefully 2018 will be the year I finally read the entire series!
I read Shadow and Bone back when it was released and thought it was really something special so I hope you love it as well! I want to read Salt to the Sea in 2018 too. I thought Ruta’s debut novel was amazing, even though it shattered my heart into a million pieces.
I loved the Six of Crows duology so I’m really excited to experience more of the Grishas.
Rebel of The Sands was one of my favourite books of 2016. This year I`ve also finally picked up the Grisha trilogy and completely fell in love with the world and the characters.

I’m glad to hear this. It gives me even more motivation to finally read these books 🙂
Ink and Bone tops my list for the new year. Happy reading.
Thanks, you too!
Yes, please read Shadow and Bone!
I definitely plan to! 🙂
I really need to read ‘Nevernight’ too! And ‘To The Bright Edge Of The World’! There are some awesome books on this list, I hope you enjoy them.
Here’s my TTT 🙂
Thanks so much!
