34. A book that's published in 2018

[Sara]

This is a popular prompt every year. I think we all have new books we want to read each year.

[Kenya]

Really looking forward to Space Opera this coming year! Catherynne M. Valente has yet to disappoint me.

[Lindi]

I love this prompt every year! It forces me to read popular or buzzworthy books when they come out, I have so many books on my TBR people were talking about months or years ago.

Still Me, the third book in the Me Before You series is coming out next year so I'll probably go with that one :)

[Tara]

I also love this prompt every year, but I definitely usually leave it blank because I'll inevitably find one that I want to read later in the year

[Stina]

I can't think of anything specific I'm anticipating, but I'm sure V.E. Schwab will come out with something awesome.

[Nadine in NY]

I already have a list and it's only November!! This list will just get longer once The Millions release their Most Anticipated for 2018.

The Girl in the Tower (Arden) January
A Reaper at the Gates (Tahir) April
The Wife Between Us (Hendricks) January
Red Clocks (Zumas) January
The English Wife (Willig) January
Lethal White (Galbraith) ??
Sorcerer Royal (Cho) ??
Batman: Nightwalker (Lu) January
Catwoman: Soulstealer (Maas) ??
What You Want to See (Lepionka) May
The Wolves of Winter (Johnson) January
What a Difference a Duke Makes (Bell) March

[Kristy]

I will probably end up reading the new Stephen King book that comes out this year. June, I believe.

[Sandra]

Some 2018 books that I'm looking forward to:
Batman: Nightwalker
Time Bomb
Runaways Vol. 1
Chasing Captain America: How Advances in Science, Engineering, and Biotechnology Will Produce a Superhuman

[Raquel (Silver Valkyrie Reads)]

I'll probably use The Plastic Magician for this. I'd also like to read Artemis, but plan on using that for the heist prompt.

I don't normally follow new releases, so I'm not anticipating a lot of books right now, but I may run across a few more options over the course of the year. :-)

[Megan]

I'm going to read Jane Seymour: The Haunted Queen

[Jette]

I'm hoping George R. R. Martin releases The Winds of Winter this year. I may have to start the series over to clear up the differences between the novels and the HBO series.

It's a bad joke, I know, but I somehow doubt he'll publish it next year! He's not exactly the speediest of writers

I love the Me Before You Series! Will definitely have to read Still Me for this one!

Oh, my sweet summer child.

[Sarah]

So, so excited for Tempests and Slaughter by Tamora Pierce, expected February 2018!

for the heist prompt? Genius! Thanks, Raquel.

[Brooke]

I am looking forward to Sarah J. Maas' new books especially A court of Frost and Starlight

[Tina]

Queen of Air and Darkness

[Sarah]

I have too many coming in 2018 that I'd like to read!

Everless

Gunpowder Moon
High Voltage
Heart of Iron
Honor Among Thieves
The Immortalists
Iron Gold
The Night Market
To Kill a Kingdom
Unearthed
The Wolves of Winter

[Caitlin]

I think Ash Princess by Laura Sebastian sounds interesting.

[Niru]

I think I'll go for El laberinto de los espíritus - the English translation should be out next year.

If not, I'm sure there'll be plenty of new releases to turn my head!

[poshpenny]

The Shape of Water

[Mel]

My list of new releases I want to read is insanely long, but here's a few I'm excited for:
American Panda
Beneath the Sugar Sky
Blood Water Paint
Children of Blood and Bone
From Twinkle, with Love
Heretics Anonymous
Hero at the Fall
Let's Talk About Love
Love, Hate & Other Filters
Nothing Left to Burn

[Chinook]

I feel like I’ve been waiting for Children of Blood and Bone forever!

[Emily]

I'm really excited for Record of a Spaceborn Few! It's the third in the series that started with The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet and I've been so hyped up for it ever since I binge read the first two

[Melissa]

Is it too much to hope that GRR Martin will finally publish the next installment of A Song of Ice and Fire in 2018?!?

Yes lol

It's nice to still have hope!

[Laura • lauralovestoread]

(Jan) Everless The Immortalists The Cruel Prince
(Feb) The Great Alone The Saturday Night Supper Club
(Aug) Dance of Thieves

[Teresa]

Be the Hands and Feet: Living Out God's Love for All His Children

[Rachel]

One of the first books to come out this year, so it's my first pick. There will definitely be a lot on this one though.

[Eujean2]

Does anyone have any idea if Sorcerer Royal will actually be out in 2018? It still says expected in 2018 on the GoodReads page, but I'm wondering if that will actually happen. I love Sorcerer to the Crown! (There is nothing about a release date on the author's website.)

Or course this prompt could easily be filled by ...
- Record of a Spaceborn Few
- The Calculating Stars
- Bruja Born
- Heroine's Journey
- Night and Silence

All of which I already plan to read in 2018.

I don't know either, but I'm with you EAGERLY awaiting the next book!!!

whoa, this one sounds awesome!! thank you!

[Heather]

If anyone else is crazy about YA...

I was considering Daughter of the Pirate King for my "set at sea" prompt, and I just discovered that book #2, Daughter of the Siren Queen, is being published this year.

[book:Still Me|357..."

I am so excited to hear that! I read both books.

[A]

hi, I can suggest a book coming out in April 2018.
it's Come from Away by Genevieve Graham. Genevieve is a Canadian author and I have enjoyed all of her books.

[Mrs. Hahn]

I'm about to start Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House Kindle-borrowed from my public library. That should be... interesting.

[Angie]

Hoping Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone comes out this year 😄

[Frogli]

I'm sure by the end of the year I will have read a few that qualify but right now the one I am waiting to get my hands on is Circe

[Nuala]

The final Penderwicks book comes out this year!!!

[Jenni]

I've gone for Time Shards for this one, as both the authors are super nice people whom I've had the pleasure of meeting in real life. Sounds like a fun book too :)

[Mel]

Decided I'm going to go with Beneath the Sugar Sky for this one, because I spotted it at the bookstore the other day and couldn't resist picking it up along with a few other books. Hope it's as fabulous as Every Heart a Doorway was!

[Emanuel]

I'll read Pecados Santos.

[Leah]

I am so sad there won't be a Sue Grafton "Z" book coming out.

[Chinook]

I read Very, Very, Very Dreadful: The Influenza Pandemic of 1918. It could potentially have been squeezed into microhistory or problem facing society today, but I didn’t feel those were quite enough of a fit, so goodbye easy to fill prompt!

[Daniplx]

I ended up reading Fire Sermon for this prompt. It was..interesting.

[Nadine in NY]

Fire Sermon is on my TBR - "interesting" sounds like faint praise!! Did you like it? I've never read this author before.

[Raquel (Silver Valkyrie Reads)]

I ended up filling this prompt with Unearthed. (At least for now--it could also fill two authors or set on another planet, so I may move it later. )

If you like YA sci-fi adventure with an Indiana Jones feel, I definitely recommend Unearthed. Just be warned, it has a bit of a cliffhanger ending...

[Christina]

Me too!! Her death was truly devastating as she has been my favorite author since high school, I have all the books in hardback in this series! I'm on V is for Vengeance as I like to space these out so that I don't feel like I'm waiting as long for the next one to come out, and now I want to space them out even more knowing that there won't be a Z. :(
