Check out the 21 hottest books to read in 2018! By the end of the year these picks are going to be book club staples.
I’m making reading a priority this year. Getting lost in a good book helps relax me, inspires my creativity, and feeds my brain way more than any of my favorite reality TV shows do. Plus, I sleep so much better when I fall asleep reading a book than when I spend my evening scrolling through Instagram.
There are ton of great books out there right now, in all genres. I wanted to share my picks for the 21 best books to read in 2018. From young adult to mystery, to self-help, sci-fi, entrepreneurship, nonfiction and more, there is something for everyone!
I’m challenging myself to explore new genres this year and read books outside of my comfort zone. I always gravitate towards the fluffy, light-hearted books, but it’s the uncomfortable, painful reads that leave me thinking long after I’ve read the last page.
Happy reading!

Questions of the Day: What is your favorite genre? What’s the last great book you read?
Thanks for the list! Just finished Handmaid’s Tale and need to find my next one.
The Alice network was faboulous, and I can not wait to get my hands on the immortalists. I adore historical fiction, and I’m slowly getting into historical mystery or any mystery series with a strong female lead.
Just finished Ready Player One. It was so good! I had a hard time putting the book down because it just hooked me in. Thanks for sharing this list!
I love horror/thriller books, and I’ve just finished Carrie by Stephen King! It was unreal! I love my books so thank you for putting this list up! I’ll let you know when I’ve finished a few!
So many awesome suggestions. Adding to my list!
Thanks for the list. I’m making a point to read more fiction this year.
This is quite an array! 🙂
Have you read “The Hate You Give” yet?! It is on my list, but I’m currently reading “Between the World and Me” and “Prophetic Lament”. Got a book stack knee-high next to my bed. A good problem, I suppose. 😉
Definitely some good books on your list. I own The Hate U Give but I need to read that this year. I don’t really have a favorite genre…I read almost anything. I DO love a good mystery novel though. 🙂

Looks like I need to get to reading. I haven’t read any of these books so far for 2018.
This list looks like a winner! It’ll help me with my resolution this year to read MORE!
Thanks for the great list! I goaled myself to read 20 books this year up from 15 in 2017. I have only just started one, so I need a good list to jump to book two!
Great suggestions! One of my goals for 2018 is to read a book every month.
Thank you for this list! Will be checking them out
I’m writing some of these down on my to-read list! I have a goal to read more books this year and I have a list of non-fiction books to read, but I need to add some fiction to it!
Oooh yes great list! I’ve heard Ready Player One is really engaging, and Braving the Wilderness is supposed to be really thought-provoking. I need to add those to my list of books to read; The Hate U Give, Little Fires Everywhere, and Crazy Rich Asians are all on my list to read already 🙂 So much reading to do!
Thanks for this list! Reading more is also one of my goals for this year. I joined a book club and we are always looking for ideas, so I will have to share this list with my group!
Thank you for this wonderfully compiled list, I am looking forward to developing a reading habit, and this list is perfect for starting from somewhere. Thanks so much!!
Just added Little Fires Everywhere to my list! Thanks!
Braving the Wilderness is SO good! I definitely recommend that EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THE PLANET (i’m not kidding) needs to read that. Otherwise, I haven’t read any of the others so I’ll have to check it out!
Awesome list! I’ve been looking for some new reads! Thanks!
Can’t wait to start reading some of these!!
Great list. So many good suggestions. No enough time to read them all 🙁
These books look awesome. I absolutely need to check them out.
This is a great list! I’ll definitely have to check some of these out 🙂
So happy to see Cork Dork on this list – one of my favorites!
Thank you! I’m always in need of great books to read. Saving this post.
Thanks to the list! I will be adding some of these to my summer reading list for sure. I’m usually a historical fiction and mysteries.
I am always in need of book suggestions to read. Although I am reading a few books now, I will try to read a few from the list as well.
Trying to read a book a week this year and this is a great list to pull inspiration from.
A few of these were already on my ‘to read’ list, but now I’ve just added a TON more!! <3
‘The Light We Lost’ is on my list, and my husband just finished ‘Ready, Player One’ and couldn’t stop talking about it. Thanks for the other suggestions!
Erin, love your list! Noted!
About audiobook “The Light We Lost”:
This is a beautiful and painful look at the timeless struggles between fate, timing, and choices. The main character, Lucy, narrates the joys and sorrows of her relationship with Gabe. Many a listener will undoubtedly empathize with the twist and turns that life brings as one agonizes over decisions that impact career, family, friendships, and love. This is a story that will challenge the listener to be more self-aware and to communicate a little more honest with those they love.
