Hey guys!
One thing I’d really like to achieve this year is the Goodreads Reading Challenge. Sure, I did manage to read 35 books in 2017, which is 10 more than that in 2016, but I was hoping to read at least 40, and there were 15 books from my TBR list that I didn’t get to read. This year, I’m hoping to read about 50 books, which works out as around one per week. As there were many days in 2017 where I didn’t read at all, this should be feasible. So, here are the books I’m planning to read in 2018:
Books I Didn’t Read in 2017
1. Forever – Judy Blume
2. Someone Like You – Sarah Dessen
3. That Summer – Sarah Dessen
4. Still Star-Crossed – Melinda Taub (only available on Amazon for over £10, which is a bit frustrating, hence why I didn’t read it in 2017)
5. The Pact – Jodi Picoult
6. Midnight in Austenland – Shannon Hale
7. Just One Day – Gayle Forman
8. Cruel Beauty – Rosamund Hodge
9. Great – Sara Benincasa (also hard to find in the UK)
10. The Muse – Jessie Burton
11. Saint Anything – Sarah Dessen
12. Entwined – Heather Dixon
13. London Belongs to Us – Sarra Manning
14. House of Night: Destined – Kristin Cast and P.C. Cast
15. Thirteen Reasons Why – Jay Asher (was supposed to read this BEFORE the TV show. Oops!)
16. A Whole New World – Liz Braswell
Books I Already Own
17. P.S. I Love You – Cecelia Ahern
18. The Perfectionists – Sara Shepard
19. Small Great Things – Jodi Picoult
20. Someday, Someday, Maybe – Lauren Graham
21. The Joy Luck Club – Amy Tan
22. Life After Life – Kate Atkinson
23. Lost Lake – Sarah Addison Allen
24. Falling Leaves – Adeline Yen Mah
25. Belgravia – Julian Fellowes
Books to Movies in 2018
26. Where’d You Go, Bernadette – Maria Semple (I’ll support anything that features the actresses/actors from PLL – in this case, Troian Bellisario – and this sounds like my kind of thing anyway.)
27. To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before – Jenny Han (stars Janel Parrish, who was also in PLL)
28. Ophelia – Lisa Klein (I’m sure I did read this years ago, but as it’s been made into a movie and I can’t really remember it, I thought I’d reread it)
29. The Nightingale – Kristin Hannah
Other
30. The Good Girls (The Perfectionists #2) – Sara Shepard
31. Amy Snow – Tracy Rees
32. Conversion – Katherine Howe
33. On the Other Side – Carrie Hope Fletcher
34. The Regulars – Georgia Clark
35. Missing Me – Sophie McKenzie
36. Chain Reaction – Simone Elkeles
37. Caraval – Stephanie Garber
38. Turtles All the Way Down – John Green (if it’s released on paperback – I don’t really like hardbacks! Could always read it on Kindle instead though!)
39. Into the Water – Paula Hawkins
40. The Little Paris Bookshop – Nina George
41. Once and For All – Sarah Dessen
42. Kitty Peck and the Music Hall Murders – Kate Griffin
43. Still Me – Jojo Moyes
44. Finding Cinderella – Colleen Hoover
45. Love & Gelato – Jenna Evans Welch
46. The Jane Austen Book Club – Karen Joy Fowler
47. I Was Here – Gayle Forman
48. The Heiresses – Sara Shepard
49. Love, Lucy – April Lindner
50. Snow Falling – Jane Gloriana Villanueva (yes, it’s a book written by a fictional character!)

So those are all the books I’m planning to read this year! Have you read any of these books? Are you doing the Goodreads Reading Challenge this year?

I have actually read The Jane Austen Book Club, and a few others on this list. This is a really good list as well! I always fail my Goodreads challenge miserably because I forget to actually add my books! I need to be better about it this year!
Wow what a great list! You seem so dedicated, I wish you well with your reading goals this year!
Thanks!
Its great to set yourself a goal, I definitely think this is something I could do because I have so many books that I still haven’t read.
Same, I have so many books lying around that I still need to read!
You’ve inspired me to get up on my reading and set some reading goals. Thank you❤️
