Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018.
Hi, friends! I’m back this week with another list of things I wish I did in 2018. Haha! The following are ten books I wish I read last year. I’m making it a goal to finish these THIS year. And if I don’t? Y’all have permission to scold me.
The Astonishing Color of After by Emily X.R. Pan
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
Radio Silence by Alice Oseman
The Girl in the Tower by Katherine Arden
Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo
Down Among the Sticks and Bones by Seanan McGuire
Two Dark Reigns by Kendare Blake
Lethal White by Robert Galbraith
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng
Hidden Bodies by Caroline Kepnes
This is definitely just a small list of backlist titles I want to read this year. If we have any in common, let me know! ❤ I’m looking forward to knocking these off my TBR. I really think I’m going to like them (and hopefully some will be five stars!)

Amy, you really need to read THUG – it’s so life changing. Just incredible. I’m also obsessed with The Wayward Children!

YES, I missed reading most of these in 2018, too! 🤣 I have to promise myself I’ll get to The Hate U Give soon! But I did read Radio Silence, and that one was really good! I hope you enjoy it!

Aaahh, Amy, I definitely meant to read Astonishing in 2018 as well! I think I’m definitely going to get to it this year though (or there will be some people hunting me down lmao). And if you want to buddy read Ruin and Rising really soon, I’m hoping to start it in the next few days to prepare for King of Scars, haha! ❤
