January 22: Books I Meant to Read In 2018 but Didn’t Get To
There are A LOT of books I meant to get to last year and didn’t to be honest. These are some of the ones that came to mind first. Some of these I already own, some of them are ones I meant to buy a while ago. Are there any here I should really move up my TBR before all the 2019 releases take over?
Inkmistress by Audrey Coulthurst
The Impossible Girl by Lydia Kang
Strange Grace by Tessa Gratton
Blood Water Paint by Joy McCullough
The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker
The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee
Hullmetal Girls by Emily Skrutskie
Heart of Iron (Heart of Iron, #1) by Ashley Poston
I really want to read The Silence of the Girls too! I hope we’ll both enjoy it 🙂

wow, The Impossible Girl sounds neat! I immediately thought of Clara from Doctor Who, haha, but the plot seems very original

Great list! Blood Water Paint is AMAZING! It was one of my favourite books of 2018 so I highly recommend reading it, and I really, really enjoyed The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy, too. I’m hoping to get to The Silence of the Girls soon!

Blood Water Paint has been top of my wishlist for a while. I finally ordered a copy from BookDepo, but I’ve been waiting for ages for them to send it…

There are a lot of beautiful covers among those ten, not to sound shallow. I actually don’t know the majority of these books so I will have to check them out 🙂

I haven’t read any of these, so can’t provide input of that sort. I will say, though, that the one Ruth Ware book I read was a VERY fast read, so The Death of Mrs. Westaway might not take you too long either.

I was really excited to read it but it sort of fell of my radar too after I got it so I’ll have to reprioritise it.

I need to read Inkmistress to!!! I may need to re-read Of Fire and Stars too. I loved it so much but it’s been some time. I hope you love it and all these books on your list! 🙂

I think they’re pretty unrelated so you probably(?) don’t need to reread for the plots sake (but, of course, totally could for fun anyway 😉). I really enjoyed Of Fire and Stars too. ❤

Heart of Iron is one I’ve been meaning to read for a while now. Maybe 2019 will be THE year we both enjoy this one. 🙂
Thanks so much for the Finding Wonderland visit, Louise.
