Novel Visits Winter Preview 2018

Let’s hear it for for 2018 and a whole new crop of books! I couldn’t be more excited about starting a fresh, new year in my reading life. The last few months of 2017 have been a slog, but 2018 is looking good. REALLY good! The list of books I want to read is already huge and I know it will get even bigger as I look at what everyone else has to share. (Thank you, Top Ten Tuesday hosts, The Broke and the Bookish.) In fact, I have so many books I want to talk about that today I’m not including ANY debuts. They’ll get their own preview on December 26th, so check back then for more to love in 2018. And, oh…I have a few more than 10 here!

    Look at you including so many nonfiction books! Have we converted you?!

    The true crime looks super interesting! And we have a lot of overlap in January.

      I’m glad we have overlap. That always makes it more fun. And yes, I think you may have converted me or at least made me realize there is great nonfiction out there!

    So many good possibilities here Susie and several new to me titles as well! I’m dying to get a copy of I’ll be Gone in the Dark…did you know the author passed away? Also, An American Marriage sounds so good, I’ve been waiting on my net galley approval and I suspect it’s not coming, may try edelweiss for it.

      No, I didn’t know McNamara had passed away. Sad. I got approved pretty quickly on An American Marriage via NG, so maybe you should try Edelweiss. It will be a good one to talk about with you.

    There are so many awesome-sounding books coming out in 2018! The Glass Forest and The Great Alone are on my TBR already – but I’m still trying to get through 2017 releases, I haven’t even had much time to think about 2018 releases!

      I feel like I’m done with 2017. Even when I look at the list of books I never got to, not many are calling me.

    I haven’t heard of most of these, but they all sound SOOOO good. I’ll definitely be adding a bunch of them to my TBR list.

    I can vouch for THE GREAT ALONE. I was fortunate enough to get an ARC of the novel and it’s really good. Super sad, but atmospheric, absorbing, and ultimately, hopeful.

    Happy TTT!

      Thanks, Susan. I hope they all pan out, but I know that doesn’t often happen. Glad to hear that The Great Alone is as good as I’d hoped. I have an ARC, but have been forcing myself to hold back until closer to the publication date. (I don’t think I can wait much longer!)

    Great list, Susie! I’ve read The Immortalists, The Girls in the Picture, and The Great Slone (reviews coming soon!) and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed in any of those. Promise looks great!

      I’m so happy to hear you’ve already read three of these and more importantly, that you liked them. I look forward to reading your reviews.

    YAY!! We will definitely be reading twins during the first part of the year; we must discuss! Red Clocks, however, is *not* on my list and I feel like it needs to be; this list is fabulous! I hope these all turn out to be wonderful reads, Susie.

      I’m so happy we’ll be reading many of the same books this winter. It’s always fun talking about books with you and it seems we so often feel the same.

      Marissa – I’d love to share in your Wednesday discussion posts. I’m going to keep them in mind in the new year. I already do It’s Monday every week (which includes what I’m currently reading), so need to find a light week or two when I have a little extra time.

    Oh my goodness, with the exception of your nonfiction picks we are going to be reading almost the exact same books this winter! About the only one I can add is Jesse Ball’s newest, Census.
