All of the release dates are all from Amazon unless otherwise stated!
- Nice Try, Jane Sinner – Lianne Oelke
This book is honestly so fantastic and I’d highly recommend it – you can read my review here.
Released: 9th January
- Love, Hate and Other Filters – Samira Ahmed
This book looks wonderful, and I will be getting to it very shortly as I received a copy via Netgalley a few days ago!
Released: 16th January
- I am Thunder – Muhammad Khan
This is about religion (I think – it’s what I grasped from the synopsis on Netgalley but I may be wrong). It looks so good!
Released: 25th January
- Goodbye, Perfect – Sara Barnard
I have loved all of the other books by Sara Barnard, and I cannot wait to read this one!
Released: 8th February
- Piecing Me Together – Renée Watson
Another powerful looking book that I don’t know much about, but I know it talks about racism and I want to read it!
Released: 8th February
- The Exact Opposite of Okay – Laura Steven
I’ve started reading this, as I was lucky enough to get an arc at YALC, and it’s so so good! The only reason I haven’t finished it is because it clashed with my writing project.
Released: 8th March
- Tyler Johnson Was Here – Jay Coles
I don’t know much about this, but the synopsis looks so good (and important), so I want to pick it up!
Released: 20th March
- The Astonishing Colour of After – Emily X. R. Pan
Again, I’m not too sure what it’s about, but it’s about a character struggling with her mother’s suicide and apparently, it is diverse (or so I hope, anyway!).
Released: 22nd March
- Clean – Juno Dawson
I haven’t read a book with a main character facing addiction, so I can’t wait to read this. I have an early copy which I am desperate to read once my uni reading has been started!
Released: 5th April
- The Poet X –
I know it includes slam poetry, though as for the rest I’m not sure – I’ve just heard a lot of good things!
Released: 3rd May
- On The Come Up – Angie Thomas
I loved loved loved The Hate U Give and cannot wait to read this!
Released: 7th June
- A Thousand Perfect Notes – C. G. Drews
This honestly looks incredible. I follow the author on social media and I’m ready to preorder it as soon as I know which address I’ll be at on its release date!
Released: 7th June
- Lost – P.C. and Kristin Cast
This is the sequel to Loved, which is the beginning of a new series that later follows the House of Night series. I love these books – rereading them now I see they’re not the best written, but they’re sentimental and I love them regardless.
Released: 10th July
- Floored – Various Authors
So many of my favourite YA writers have contributed to this…
Released: 12th July
- Toil & Trouble: 16 Tales of Women & Witchcraft – Various Authors
Witchcraft. Enough said.
Released: 28th August
- Only Love Can Break Your Heart by Katherine Webber
Wing Jones is an all-time favourite. I am beyond excited.
Expected publication: August

Tyler Johnson Was Here definitely comes on every most anticipated reads list I make as well! You definitely have a couple other reads I would like to have as well on here, but that one was definitely the one that caught my attention the most. Also, cannot wait for Leah on the Offbeat.
Definitely, it looks so good! I knew I’d missed one! Leah on the Offbeat should’ve been on that list but slipped my mind as I was writing it! 2018 seems to be a great year for contemporary YA releases.
I can only agree on that! And don’t worry, I keep forgetting AT LEAST one book each time people ask me of my most anticipated reads haha
Haha! There are so many!
Right!? I always feel like we will never get done reading them all.
Wing Jones is my favorite too! It’s such and underrated book. I can’t wait to read Only Love Can Break Your Heart. I’m really excited for The Poet X and On the Come Up as well. I love slam poetry and The Hate U Give was amazing.
