#MustReadIn2018 Recap

Thanks to Carrie Gelson of There's A Book for That for hosting a #MustRead group at different parts the year for those who continue to create a list of lonely books on shelves or lists that we are excited about when bought or listed, then ignore, or find others that call more loudly.  See the above link to Carrie's blog to find her newest update and others, too.
 
Here are the books from my #MustReadIn2018, and those read so far. The last time, in April, I checked in I had completed FIVE of the thirty-four chosen. This time, yikes, I've read only three more, but they are wonderful!  

If you have any books you are convinced I need to read SOON, tell me in the comments!

Here's what I read from my list since April:

Scythe - Neal Shusterman - The beginning of this series, which I adored. If you like dystopian plots, please take a look

Long Way Down - Jason Reynolds -  Change of plans in an elevator? Who would ever think that this could be so powerful? It is!

Turtles All The Way Down - John Green - He always has the sweetest characters and shows the problems of our lives with sincerity and hope, ALWAYS.

Here's the full list - those in blue are read!

Thirty-Four Books -
