Today, I wanted to share with you guys a few of my most anticipated 2018 releases! Actually, since it’s 2018, I thought I’d do… 18 of them! ? All of these will be ones I haven’t read yet, but I am going to add an “honorable mentions” section at the bottom for 2018 ARCs I’ve already had the chance to read and enjoyed!
I couldn’t bring myself to sort these by most wanted to least wanted, so I decided to be lazy and just sort them by release date!

December 23, 2017Ughhh, I knoooow! I got turned down for an eARC request on Edelweiss and my Netgalley request is still pending, plus I’ve sent, like, three print ARC requests. I’m shameless. I want it SO BADLY lmao. I hope we both love all of them!

December 23, 2017My request on Netgalley is still pending too!! That makes me feel so much better that I’m not the only person stuck in the void lol. I haven’t sent a print ARC request yet, but I’m planning to. Fingers crossed for both of us!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 25, 2017Yes, good luck to us both! Hopefully we both get it soon!
Elise @ Roaming Reader
December 23, 2017I love how you separated the releases by month. I sadly don’t know much about most of the books you mentioned here but hey that’s more of a reason for me to look into them and get excited!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 25, 2017Thank you, Elise! I was hoping it’d make it a little easier in case anyone wanted to place any pre-orders or ARC requests. 🙂 I hope you find some you like!
Jessica @ Strung out on Books
December 24, 2017I’m looking forward to the new books by Angie Thomas and Becky Albertalli & Adam Silvera! Great list! 🙂
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 25, 2017Thank you, Jessica! That’s one I already have pre-ordered on Amazon, lol! I’m so excited to see them write together. They are the cutest bookish besties ever haha.

December 25, 2017I’m looking forward to Island of the Mad by Laurie R King, and Child of a Mad God by RA Salvatore. Oh, and Pierce Brown’s Iron Gold.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 25, 2017I really have been wanting to check out RA Salvatore’s writing lately! What would you recommend as a first book of Salvatore’s? I haven’t read anything by Laurie R King or Pierce Brown, either, to my knowledge.
Cait @ Paper Fury
December 26, 2017Oh I’m so excited for so many of these too!! SO excited for The Cruel Prince because I’ve loved Holly Black’s books forever and been hoping she’d write something new. ? I also loved Reign of the Fallen so I hope you like it! AND THE BELLES YES. That cover is stunning. And afjdskald What If It’s Us. I nearly fell off my chair when that was announced.?
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
January 15, 2018I have been the WORST EVER at replying to comments and this is totally the latest response ever, but yes to all of this! I just finished The Cruel Prince (ahhhh-mazing), and now I’m working on Reign of the Fallen, which I am LOVING so far. It doesn’t hurt that Sarah is such a precious sweetie on twitter. <3
Kathy @ Books & Munches
December 26, 2017I am not even going to check how many I just added to my TBR – although I do think I kind of skipped all the scifi but that’s.. me.. Haha!
[I can NOT say no to more of Angie Thomas; and What If It’s Us? YES PLEASE.]
