Books I Meant to Read In 2018 but Didn’t Get To
So many. Where to start. This could be a long post!! No, I will show restraint. Look, you can’t read everything, there just simply isn’t the time and I confess that the last two months have been kind of hectic for me which have resulted in things slipping a little. I’ve decided to go with ten books that I bought last year – unfortunately the books I buy usually play second fiddle to the books I’ve requested for review – which is fair enough really – so here are 10 – I bought many more but I’ve stuck to 10 (probably to try and make myself feel less guilty):
- Dark Eden by Chris Beckett
- The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
- The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
- Ghosts of Tomorrow by Michael R Fletcher
- False Hearts by Laura Lam
- Servant of Rage by AZ Anthony
- The Woven Ring by MD Presley
- Starless by Jacqueline Carey
- City of Kings by Rob J Hayes
- The Lost Plot (The Invisible Library series Book 4) Genevieve Cogman
Feast your eyes on these lovelies and then tell me – which should I read first!?

New-to-Me Authors I Read In 2018
So, I went through my list of books for 2018 and I had a lot of good books and a lot of those books were written by authors I’d previously not read, in fact I think a good number of them were also impressive debuts. I’ve narrowed it down as best I could – I’m still a little over the limit but here goes:
- Hazelwood by Melissa Albert
- The Mermaid and Mrs Hancock by Imogen Hermes Gowar
- Semiosis by Sue Burke
- Age of Assassins by RJ Barker
- Kin by Snorri Kristjansson
- Master Assassins by Robert V S Redick
- The Poppy War by R F Kuang
- The Last Sun (The Tarot Sequence #1) by K.D. Edwards
- The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker
- Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse
- The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell

Cozy/Wintry Reads
I’m taking this to mean the sort of books that you love and can reread because they feel comfortable. I’ve also included a few more recent books that I would enjoy picking up and revisiting when time allows:
- The Harry Potter books by JK Rowling – I haven’t reread the books but I would love to. I have watched the films though – many times.
- The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle – and for that matter any of the other Sherlock Holme stories. I love these stories.
- Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen. I like all of Austen’s books but Northanger Abbey has a special place with it’s nod to the gothic stories that were becoming so popular at the time.
- A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. I love this book, it’s only fairly short which is a surprise for me because I don’t tend to like short stories as a rule but this is such a good tale.
- The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell – this is a recent read which I thought was excellent and I would love to read it again.
- Bitter Orange by Claire Fuller – another new read and one that I definitely recommend.
- Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier – yes, I do probably bang on about this book but what can I say – it’s an old favourite. Perhaps one more reread wouldn’t hurt.
- Lord of the Rings by JRRTolkien – I really am that predictable!
- Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte – I just love this book.
- Suggestions???? Come add your favourite to my favourites pretty please.
