Honestly this prompt is triggering my anxiety. I have a pile of unread books at the end of this year! Like so many more than previous years. And here are the top ten among them that I really really wanted to read in 2018.
- Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson
- The Hating Game by Sally Throne
- The Wicked Deep by Shea Ernshaw
- An American Marriage by Tayari Jones
- Everless by Sara Holland
- Landline by Rainbow Rowell
- A Darker Shade of Magic by
- Nyxia by Scott Reintgen
- One of Us Is Lying by Karen McManus
- The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
Have you read any from this list? What are your 2018 backlist books?
On other note: I read Truly Devious this month and am proud that I managed to get to it!😅

The Wicked Deep is good but it wasn’t what I was expecting. I was expecting it to be more about the magic than mystery.

Oh is it? I too was expecting it about magic! Will be prepared then!😀

I’ve read A Darker Shade of Magic & One of Us is lying and they were both pretty good. I’ve been meaning to read The Wicked Deep, Everless and the Handmaids Tale for a while now but in the end I never pick these books up
I will need to change that now in 2019!

I have Everless and Nyxia on my TBR. One of Us is Lying too and I even got a copy a few months ago, but didn’t get to read it either. It’s probably gonna be one of my next reads.

My list of books I meant to read last year is stupidly long lol. From your list I’ve wanted to read A Darker Shade of Magic for so long and I finally actually got it last year so now it’s just a matter of finding time for it! :’D Everless is also one I’ve been interested in.

I did read Nyxia earlier this year I believe. I thought it was really good for a story involving space. I do hope you get the chance to read it!
