You are correct in your dates. I believe that Clare changed the publication order of this series and The Dark Artifices (TDA is now scheduled to be published first, then TLH the next year/later in the year. On the exact year I am not quite sure.)
Can somebody remove Bloodwitch? It got pushed to 2019.

See publisher page here
Also on page 3, currently #279, The Child Finder by Rene Denfeld needs removed because it was already released in September 2017.

This has now been removed from this listopia.

Both have now been removed from this listopia.

Indeed it was. The book has now been removed from this listopia.

Book deleted from the listopia. In future, please link to a specific tweet rather than to an author's entire feed.

I wasn't referencing a specific tweet; otherwise, I would've linked to only one tweet. I was referring to the author's Twitter profile (section below photo) in which she states, "Author of THE WITCH OF WISHES, coming Spring 2019 from @DelacortePress."

Wow that's far. But that's GRRM for you I guess.
Removed from the listopia.

I wish it came sooner



Right now there are 80 people that agree with you. Question: do you see this as primarily a YA title, or is it a novel that adults can enjoy also?
I have gotten to be greedy where Net Galley is concerned. I have a whole big pile of galleys that I am excited about. Just finished Kristen Hannah's The Great Alone, which was terrific. Currently reading Amy Bloom, Ezekiel Boone, and also Sadness is a White Bird, and all of them are amazing. Jess Kidd and Amy Poeppel are on my dessert list. If I finish one that I'm committed to reading and reviewing but have become ambivalent about, and I get the review written and off my plate, then I will let myself read these two.

I felt like there's no point in accumulating a whole lot of titles that aren't qualified to be on this list for the remaining year. Will only sweep again probably in mid 2019. Left some titles that only recently replaced "2018" to "2019" without explanation and could not find info on whether the change is accurate. Most likely by the time 2018 ends, a bunch of titles would then turn out to be unfitted to be here, but until then there's nothing that could really be done about it.
P.S.: There's one situation I don't feel comfortable of removing without mentioning.

Dude; not to be rude, but can you please be more careful with what you remove? Smoke and Iron comes out this bloody summer, I'm going to add it back, PLEASE DO NOT FALSELY REMOVE IT AGAIN, thanks.
Edited; not familiar with other removed titles so had to check, it seemed like the UK edition of Empire of Grass is still scheduled to be published in 2018, so again, do be careful when you remove titles from the list!

and I go by the US release dates not UK
I made a simple mistake, I'll just take my leave of the list

Please read the list description. There's no limitation, the only criteria is the book has to be published FIRST 2018; there's nothing wrong with being MG! Please do not request removal of MG books again (unless they aren't published first in 2018.) Thanks!

Thank you so much for pointing this out! I read an extra "d" for "removed" and misread the purpose of the entire post. That's totally on me. Edited the response to something more appropriate.

However, The Burning Maze does indeed qualify for this list. Some books disallow MG or YA titles; this one does not.
