Hello, my fellow book lovers! Top Five Wednesday was created by gingerreadslainey and is now hosted by Thoughts on Tomes! Visit the Goodreads group if you’re interested in joining!
This week’s a freebie, and I am going to talk about some books (that have already been released) I am dying to purchase. If I had an unlimited amount of money, I absolutely would’ve got these titles already!
These are in no particular order. When you click on the book’s title, you will be brought to the Goodreads page.
I have heard nothing but great things about Darius the Great is Not Okay. I talked about this in my most anticipated August 2018 releases post, but I haven’t been able to get a copy yet. This is a novel about friendship, identity, mental health and much more. It sounds like I’ll absolutely love this contemporary.
I don’t read fantasies often, but I’m really interested in picking up The Poppy War. This dark adult fantasy is based on historical events, which sounds awesome! The only reason why I haven’t bought this yet, is because adult fantasies are so expensive!
The Song of Achilles is a beautiful book I definitely plan on re-reading someday, so I’m relieved Miller’s new novel Circe is receiving just as much praise.
Nice Try, Jane Sinner is described by many as a funny YA contemporary. Because of the mental health representation, this is going to give me the hard-hitting aspect I tend to love in this genre. This novel has about 2,000 ratings on Goodreads so it’s not tremendously popular, but my hopes for this are nevertheless high.
I have mentioned this before on my blog: I am not a fan of the Shatter Me trilogy. Nevertheless, A Very Large Expanse of Sea was one of my most anticipated 2018 book releases. I’m disappointed I haven’t picked it up yet, but I certainly haven’t forgotten it! This YA contemporary is set post-9/11 and stars a Muslim Hijabi main character.
Here you go, these are some books I would really like to add to my collection! Which books are on the top of your wishlist? Have you read any of these novels yet? What were your thoughts?

I kind of want to get Poppy War as well. I’ve heard nothing but good things about it! And I can’t wait for you to get Circe. Miller is a sorceress of an author and she bewitches me every time I read her books! 😉

Circe is so good! Easily one of my favorite releases for 2018. Also, I just started reading Poppy War so I can’t say if it’s one hundred percent amazing yet, but the writing is drool worthy 🤣
