Top Ten Tuesday – 10 Books I Meant to Read In 2018 but Didn’t Get To
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Top Ten Tuesday has been one of my favorite memes ever since I started blogging, so huge thanks to Jana for taking over the hosting duties!
This week’s TTT topic is 10 Books I Meant to Read In 2018 but Didn’t Get To. So many books, so little reading time, right? This could easily be a Top 100 Tuesday list if I listed all of the books I had planned to read last year but didn’t get to. To narrow my list down to ten books, I scrolled back through my most anticipated books posts from last year as well as my Can’t Wait Wednesday posts. Below are ten from all of those posts that, even though I was dying to get my hands on them and read, I ended up not getting to them at all. I’ve gotten off to a great start with my reading this year though so I’m hoping that trend will continue and that I will get all ten of these read in 2019.

Don’t feel bad – I haven’t read any of these books either. I keep hearing a lot of good buzz about The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, so I want to give it a try, too. Here are my neglected books of 2018: https://dinaratengri.com/2019/01/books-i-meant-to-read-in-2018-but-didnt/

Same here. I haven’t read a single negative review for Evelyn Hugo. Everyone seems to love it.
I was sad to finish the series, but proud of myself for getting to Obsidio. An excellent ending. Josh & Hazel was a favorite of mine, but honestly, I was adoring all that was CLo in 2018. Pride was a really good retelling. Hope you get to some of these.

I still can’t believe I haven’t gotten to Obsidio yet. Even my mom has completed the series, lol.
I hope you’ve a chance to finally read these books. I quite enjoyed Escaping From Houdini, but it was my least favourite book on the series – when I say this, I gave it four stars instead of five. =P
Happy readings!

Glad to hear that your least favorite still earned 4 stars. 🙂
Circe, Josh and Hazel and Evelyn Hugo were all on my list to read in 2018.
Jonetta (Ejaygirl) | Blue Mood Café recently posted…For Her Honor by Holly Bush
Hopefully we’ll both get to them all this year. 🙂
Circe is on my list – and never mind about Obsidio – I didn’t get around to the first book in that series, which I’d really love to read… Great list – I hope you enjoy reading these in 2019!
The one good thing about the Illuminae Files books is that they go quickly even though they’re long books. I’m hoping to finally knock out Obsidio sometime in the next few weeks.
Sometimes it seems like the books I want to read the most are the ones I never get to! Evelyn Hugo was really good, different for TJR!
Same here! I think I overhype some books so much in my own mind that I’m almost afraid to read them in case they don’t live up to that hype.

I haven’t read any of these books yet either, so there are at least three of us. 🙂
Glad I’m not alone. 🙂
Obsidio made my list too, I still can’t believe I didn’t try harder to fit it in! Good luck catching up😁

Same here since I love the series so much. It will happen soon though, I hope.
What If It’s Us and Circe are on my TTT as well. I got a copy of Spinning Silver last year too and still haven’t read it.
Hope you love all your 2019 reads!
Marti recently posted…Top Ten Tuesday: Books I meant to Read in 2018 But Didn’t Get to
Thanks, I hope so too!
Loved Josh and Hazel and Evelyn Hugo! I really need to get to Obsidio and want to fit in What If It’s Us.

I think Evelyn Hugo is the one I’m most determined to get to from this year. I haven’t read a single negative review for it.
Godsgrave, Houdini, and Spinning Silver all COULD have easily made my list. I basically could have had a hundred book list, but … yeah.
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction recently posted…Top Ten 2018 Books I Totally Meant to Read
Same here! I feel like I have a whole library of books I meant to read last year, lol.
I’d like to read Josh and Hazel’s Guide To Not Dating this year… Or anything by Christina Lauren actually. I hear good things.
Nicci @ Sunny Buzzy Books recently posted…TTT: Books I Meant to Read In 2018 but Didn’t Get To
I’ve only read one Christina Lauren book so far but I thought it was very good.
Oh yeah Circe I hear SO many good things about. Good call- I definitely need to get that. I thought Seafire looked pretty good too.
Greg recently posted…Top Ten Books I Meant To Read in 2018 But Didn’t
Circe is one of the ones I’m most annoyed at myself for not getting to because I’ve read so many great reviews for it.
I truly love The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. It was my #1 read of the year. And What If It’s Us was so sweet and funny and charming. I definitely want to pick up Josh & Hazel soon!
Tanya @ Girl Plus Books recently posted…Top Ten Tuesday: The Books I Meant to Read in 2018
Evelyn Hugo is the one from this list I’m most determined to get to this year because of all of the rave reviews it has gotten.
I could prob make a top 100 list too lol. I was kind of on the fence about Spinning Silver, so it’s prob not one I’ll get to even though I like the sound of the premise. I hope you can get to some of these this year!
Kristen @ Metaphors and Moonlight recently posted…Book Review: Captain (Never Land Book 1) by Artie Sievers
Thanks, I hope so too!
I have ‘Pride’ on my list too! I can’t pass on a Jane Austen rewrite. 🙂
Same! I’m hoping to get to it as soon as I get through my February ARCs.
Oooh Pride and Godsgrave were really good!! <3 I wasn't a huge fan of Spinning Silver but I think I am in the minority there. I hope you love them all! Happy Reading 😀

Thank you! 🙂
Oh, I hear you — my want-to-read-but-never-got-to list is neverending at this stage. I’ve been seeing Circe get some great reviews, but haven’t yet taken the plunge either.
verushka recently posted…Don’t Believe It: a story with many issues, but yes, I still kept going. This is why
I’m pretty determined to read Circe this year. Haven’t seen a bad review for it yet.
I’ve heard so many good things about The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo so I think I’ll give it a read this year as well. Great list!
Kat @ Here There Be Dragons recently posted…Top Ten Tuesdays – Books I Meant to Read in 2018 But Didn’t
Right? I’ve not read a single negative review for it. I can’t wait to finally get to it.
SO MANY GOOD TITLES ON HERE. I hope you get to them soon and enjoy them! But, especially The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Hands down, one of my favourites of all time!
Jessica at Booked J recently posted…Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Meant to Read in 2018, But Didn’t Get to (#26)
I’m really glad to hear that about Evelyn Hugo. It’s my number one priority read from that list.
