Books I want to Read this Year

I love to read. No, really, I do. I tend to go through bursts, where all I want to do is read. Then I go months without touching a book. I'm not the fastest, so I have an ever growing list of books that have come out that I will eventually get to. Every year with all the new books coming out, my list just grows.

Pip has the ideal childhood. Her and her sister and friends can run around the neighborhood gardens and houses at free will. But one night, Pip finds her older sister Grace unconscious and in her own blood. Maybe this neighborhood isn't as safe as everyone once thought.


Most of these books aren't new to 2018, but while researching books I wanted to read, I feel into a bit of a rabbit hole (and now my list is 50 books longer!). These were a few of the books that really stood out to me, and that I'll probably start the year off reading. What books are you dying to jump into this year?
