For anyone out there with a To Be Read list that seems like it will never end, this challenge is for you! This is all about making your own personal list of books that you want to commit to reading in 2018.
10? 20? 30? more? It’s up to you
Books can be published in any year, be from any genre, and from any category: adult, YA, MG, Graphics, NF, etc. titles. All that matters is that they are books you want to be sure not to forget as that TBR list continues to grow! These aren’t the only titles you will read over the year, but a list to help guide your reading. A list to lure you back to a reading path you have set for yourself. Many, many new books will tempt you! Go ahead and read them but having a list like this ensures you will not forget some titles you were determined to read. At least that’s the plan 🙂
If you would like to create and share a list, contact me on twitter (@CarrieGelson) or leave a link in the comments and I will add your list to the #MustReadin2018 lists below. Everyone is welcome! I will update regularly so if you are just seeing this now – go make a list! We’ll be waiting for you.

Three updates seemed to work best so we will continue this again. If you also leave me your twitter handle (if you are on twitter) I will send you a reminder. For those not on twitter, please mark these dates in your calendar. Update posts can be shared on or around these dates – just leave your link in the comment section of my post and share it on twitter using #MustReadin2018
Spring update: Thursday April 5th, 2018
Fall update: Thursday September 6th, 2018
Year end update: Thursday December 27th, 2018
Update posts are purely optional!
They can take whatever format you wish: highlighting your favourites, reasons for not reading, simply a list of what you have read, etc. Here are last year’s update posts on my blog as an example: spring, fall, year-end. Other bloggers do much more creative things than me.
Ready for some inspiration?

There's a Book for That 
Great list, we have several (7, I think) in common. The two here that I have read (Knockout and The War I Finally Won) are excellent choices that I highly recommend! I have two copies of TWIFW and they have literally never been on a shelf. I keep a document with the “official wait list”.
Here is my list, thanks for hosting https://theabsolutelytruereadingdiaryofaparttimelibrarian.wordpress.com/2018/01/02/must-read-in-2018/
