At the end of each year, I share the books that I had the pleasure of reading and then publish a list of books I hope to get my hands on in the upcoming year. My last post was about the books I read in 2017 & this is all about the ones I want to read in 2018.
As you can see, I’m a little obsessed with Brene Brown. My therapist recommended reading her, as she talks a lot about female empowerment and vulnerability. As I’m writing my second book, I really need that sort of encouragement. Aside from her, I hope to dabble in a lot of non-fiction and try to get into poetry. I normally really dislike poetry, just can’t get into it, but Sabrina Beniam popped onto my newsfeed with a wonderful reading of a poem about anxiety. So, of course, I had to add her book to my list when I found out she was published.
- The Power of Vulnerability, Brene Brown
- I Thought It Was Just Me, Brene Brown
- Daring Greatly, Brene Brown
- Braving the Wilderness, Brene Brown
- The Hate U Give, Angie Thomas
- Solo, Kwame Alexander
- Depression, and Other Magic Tricks, Sabrina Beniam
- The Sun and Her Flowers, Rupi Kaur
- Inferior: How Science Got Women Wrong—and the New Research That’s Rewriting the Story, Angela Saini
- Jane Austen at Home, Lucy Worsley
- Tears We Cannot Stop: A Sermon to White America
- We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy, Ta-Nehisi Coates
- Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls, and Everything in Between, Lauren Graham
- Shaken, Kerry Connelly
- The Great Divorce, C.S. Lewis
I’d love to know what your 2018 reads are! Drop a comment and maybe I’ll add the book to my Goodreads account!
I’m so impressed that you’ve already come up with a list for 2018! I usually just read whatever strikes me as interesting, but I’ll definitely have to check out some of these books 🙂

The Hate U Give is on my list too – I’m a children’s librarian and I’ve heard lots of good things. I really enjoyed Kwame Alexander’s Crossover so I might have to give this new one a shot too.

I may have to try out Brene Brown! I’m definitely trying to read more this coming year, but I have no books on my list right now!
