Ten Books I'm Really Looking Forward to in 2018 Pt 2


This is a topic that I did a few times over at The Broke and the Bookish and honestly I always dreaded it a bit because I'm not great at keeping up with new releases.  However, I realized I was kind of missing it so I decided it was time to revisit this topic!

The Witch Elm by Tana French - I finally read a book by Tana French and fell in love with her writing style.  This one involves a crumbling family home and a skull being discovered in a trunk of a tree.  Secrets from the past abound!  (October 9)

The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter by Hazel Gaynor - I finally read my first Hazel Gaynor earlier this year and absolutely loved it so I'm super excited to read this latest.(October 9)

The Mystery of Three Quarters by Sophie Hannah - I was just wondering when/if a new Poirot book by Hannah would come out when I saw this and I'm really looking forward to it.  I struggled with the first book but really enjoyed the 2nd. (August 28)

The Collector's Apprentice by B.A. Shapiro - I haven't read anything by this author yet but I've been wanting to and this one looks gorgeous. (October 16)

Hot Winter Nights by Jill Shalvis - I've really been loving this Heartbreaker Bay series and am excited for the next one. (September 25)

Season of Wonder by RaeAnne Thayne - I love RaeAnne Thayne and her Christmas books are my favorite so I'm excited for this one!(September 25)

I'd Rather Be Reading by Anne Bogel - I'm a big fan of the What Should I Read Next podcast and have had her first book on my TBR for awhile but this one appeals to me even more! (September 4)

The Lacemaker's Secret by Kathleen Ernst - There's family secrets and a body in an old farmhouse so I'm super excited to give this series a try. (October 8)

A Vintage Death by Mary Ellen Hughes - I loved the first book in this series about a woman who has inherited a music box store and am looking forward to seeing where the series goes. (November 8)

Echoes of Evil by Heather Graham - Somehow I haven't read any of the Krewe of Hunters books from this year but they look so good!  I'm hoping to read the first two before I get to this one. (September 18)

What books are you looking forward to reading in the second half of the year?

  5. The Witch Elm sounds good and I love the cover. 📚

    I used to be all on the up and up about new teleases, but over the last couple of years, unless it's a sequel, I've been pretty cluless. Ha ha. 😏

  8. I enjoyed THE WITCH ELM. It's different from French's other books, but still really good. It's available on Edelweiss, if you're a member. THE LACEMAKER'S SECRET sounds good, too. I hadn't heard of it before, but it sounds like the kind of book I enjoy!

  9. I'm looking forward to this coming book by Anne Bogel, I wasn't so keen on her last one as I had read whole books on some of the things she talks about in her chapters and I just wasn't interested in others. But I think this one will be more reading oriented. Well here's hoping!!

  11. I don't keep up to date with new releases-I tend to notice when friends grab ARCs and that's the first I hear of them! I do look at Amazon's upcoming horror and apocalypse books for CWW.
