Books I want & reading goals for 2018

So this blog will be some books that will be released in 2018 that I am DYING to read! Lets get straight into that and then we will go over reading goals.

51LAoHW3PwL._SX334_BO1,204,203,200_This is a new Stephen King novel set to be released in June 2018. I am so EXCITED for this book. It sounds like another crime thriller. I think he writes those so well. I really enjoyed the Bill Hodges trilogy. Well I still need to read the last book but I LOVED the first two books. Goodreads Synopsis

Children+Of+Blood+And+BoneThis story sounded so intriguing and the cover is just so beautiful! It’s set to release in March 2018. Goodreads Synopsis

35018908Now this one is on my list but not really high up. While it sounds good and interesting, it does sound a lot like some other YA fantasy books. So it might be one I check out from the library first and see how I like it before actually buying it. It is set to be released in January 2018. Goodreads Synopsis

legendaryOMG I am so excited for this one! I absolutely LOVED Caraval. It made my list of my top 10 favorite reads of 2017! It is set to be released in May 2018. Goodreads Synopsis

32941343So I watched Manda on Manda the Glittery Nerd’s YouTube channel talk about this book and how much she loved it. So I definitely want to read it. I think it was already released in Australia but in the USA it is set to release in January 2018. Goodreads Synopsis

Cover-LeahOnTheOffbeatOMG OMG OMG. I am not a big fan of contemporary. It’s a big hit or miss for me but Becky Albertalli is an auto-buy now. I have read Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda and The Upside of Unrequited and LOVED LOVED them! I am so excited for the Simon movie. So of course I would be so excited for this. It is set to release in April 2018. Goodreads Synopsis

35707056After reading the synopsis for this I had to add it to my list. To me it sounds like it will be the perfect cheesy read. Something you can kick back and fly right through. I hope it’s as good as it sounds like it will be. It is set to be released in May 2018. Goodreads Synopsis

24909347I have been dying for this book ever since I finished Gemina! I NEED IT NOW!!! I have been enjoying this series so much! It is set to be released in March 2018. Goodreads Synopsis

TOG-6Throne of Glass number 7! The final book of the series. There is no synopsis yet on Goodreads. I need it NOW!!! It is set to be released in September 2018.

31076583Oh I was so happy when I heard we would be getting more of this world! I loved the ACOTAR trilogy! This is set to be released in May 2018. Goodreads Synopsis

36301023OMG I am so excited for this! I adored My Lady Jane. It was such a fun read and an awesome twist on the true story of Lady Jane Grey. I had no clue there was going to be more books. How exciting. This new one will be a twist on the store of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. Which I own but still need to read. So I will be reading it before this book comes out. It is set to me released in June 2018. Goodreads Synopsis

 

So lets talk about reading goals for 2018. I decided not to do the Goodreads Reading Challenge for 2018. I will still use Goodreads to keep track of books I have read but I am not setting a number. I want to see if the pressure to make it to that number is what put me into a major slump the last half of 2017. I just want to read and enjoy it and between reading goal numbers and people on Instagram I got caught up in the challenge of it all. That’s not what reading is supposed to be about. The book world of Instagram in changing and not for the better. Lately I have been noticing its all about how many followers you have, how many likes and comments you get and what people think of your pictures. While of course you want people to like your pictures but it should NOT be based on that. Take a damn picture and post it if you like it and screw everyone elses opinion. Also its called BOOK WORLD not lets see how much crap I can add to this picture. I on Instagram to share BOOKS and see books for new ideas on what to read. But lately its been hard to even see the book because its covered up by so much crap. Ugh ok I will stop bitching. But seriously STOP!

I do have some books I want to get to in 2018 for sure. I want to finish up the last book in the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy by Laini Taylor and read her new book, Strange the Dreamer. I also need to finish End of Watch, the last book in the Bill Hodges trilogy by Stephen King. Other than that I usually mood read. I will be doing a buddy book club read once a month with my sister, Cat (Witchpluscat on IG). Mostly Historical, Historical Fiction and True Crime. It will be for our Discover and Conquer Blog we do together. I will post my book reviews on this blog and the other blog. I do want to read a couple more Stephen King books. I have to go at a snail’s pace with his books. I can’t just read one right after another. His books are so intense so I have to space them out. But I would love to reread the Castle Rock books. I first read them 10+ years ago. They are some of my favorite books of his. Needful Things being my number one favorite. I am so excited the new Castle Rock series on Hulu! It’s going to be so fantastic! I already know it. It’s hopefully going to be released in 2018 sometime!

Well I think that’s all I have for this blog! Until next time my loves!
