The New Year is only a few days away, and I’m excited for a new year of reading! And writing, of course. I read so many good books last year. Some of them were backlist titles, but I also read several new releases. So many, in fact, that on January 3rd I’ll be releasing my top 10 2018 releases from last year. I’ve never done a list like that before.
There are plenty of new releases I’m looking forward to already:
- The Wicked King (pre-ordered)
- Priory of the Orange Tree (pre-ordered)
- Ghosts of the Shadow Market (pre-ordered)
- Legend 4
- Chain of Gold (pre-ordering next week)
I try to review an ARC every week (although I haven’t been as good about that since NaNoWriMo started). So I’m going to join the 2019 New Release Challenge, hosted by Unconventional Bookworms, and my goal is to get level 2: 30-60 new releases:
- 1-30 books per year – New Release Newbie
- 31-60 books per year – New Release Pro
- 61-100 books per year – New Release Veteran
- 101-200 books per year – New Release Enthusiast
- 200+ books per year – New Release Obsessed
My Goodreads goal for next year will be to read 105 books, and since there’s still a lot of backlist books I want to read, level 2 sounds about right for me.
If you want to join in the challenge, you can sign up at this link. Figure out how many new release books you want to read in 2019, and then create your own post. Good luck!
Good luck with this challenge! There are so many 2019 releases I’m looking forward to.
Thanks! 2019 will be a great year for books!
I read a lot of New Releases, which is why I track this, but am not doing it officially. You have some great books listed up there. My daughter was just talking about the Shadow Market book with me yesterday. Good luck with your challenge!
Thanks! You read so many books you’d do so much better than I. But there’s only so many challenges you can do.
