books I can't wait to read in 2018

I have an extensive list of books I can't wait to read that are released in 2018. It is ridiculously long as you'll see. I tend to keep myself a list so I know what to look out for each month on the library catalogue so I can get my reservations in early but I thought I'd share it on here for anyone who is interested to add to your wishl lists.

There's a lot of UKYA titles. There are  also a few more adult titles than in previous years as I've found myself discovering more and more adult authors over the last twelve months.

So without further ado here are the titles I'm hoping to get my hands on over the coming year

January

I'm most excited for
The endless beach by Jenny Colgan. I only discover Jenny's books last year and binge read much of her backlist and love them all.

February

I'm most excited for 
The Dark Angel by Elly Griffiths. Elly's books are set near me which means I have a soft spot for them instantly. Also I love the history side and the characters. I've binge read the entire series in the last few months and now can't wait to carry on with it.
