Here are ten books that have either already released in 2018 or are releasing in 2018! And let me rephrase that. It’s actually ten authors, but more than ten books………
I like to sometimes search and poke around on Amazon and discover new books that will be releasing! Yay for fun finds!
I was going to post about ten books happening in 2018 and it morphed into a bit more because I kept finding another one and a few authors have more than one, so I doubled them up if they belonged to the same author!
What common denominator do these books have for me, you may find yourself asking?! {Or it may have never even occurred to you to ask.} 😉
WELL. I’m SUPER excited about all of them!!!
Some of them are already in my personal library, some in my public local library and some I have pre-ordered!
I bring you this list of ten, with no particular order……….
I’d love to hear if any of these are on your to-read list!
First up…….two books by KariAnne Wood. I love KariAnne’s writing style and fresh enthusiasm and encouragement!
It’s The DIY Home Planner………yes, I talked about it here in Pages and Projects and we had a giveaway for it!
The second book of KariAnne’s is You’ve Got This (Because God’s Got You)
This devotional releases in September and I’m super excited about it! I love KariAnne’s style and humor and enthusiasm!
Garden of Truth by Ruth Chou Simons This book released April 3.
It’s simple and lovely. Filled with her classic artwork and style, each page contains a simple verse along with a beautiful picture. Lovely to tuck into your purse or add to a gift!
Ruth Chou Simons has a planner coming in July………..

Hop over to this post to read my review of her book, Reading People.
Book Girl by Sarah Clarkson {September 4}
I’m quite looking forward to this book. Here’s a tiny excerpt of the description and it totally drew me in, plus the fact that I love The LifeGiving Home written by Sally and Sarah Clarkson.
“When you hear a riveting story, does it thrill your heart and stir your soul? Do you hunger for truth and goodness? Do you secretly relate to Belle’s delight in the library in Beauty and the Beast?
If so, you may be on your way to being a book girl.”
I absolutely adore the library in Beauty and the Beast!!!!
Unshakeable Hope By Max Lucado {August 7th}
I’ve been reading Max Lucado since I was a teen, so I’m always excited to add a new title of his to my to-be-read list!
Steadfast was my focus word last year, so the word Unshakeable in this title popped out at me!
It’s All Under Control by Jennifer Dukes Lee {September 18}
The byline reads: A Journey of Letting Go, Hanging On, and Finding a Peace You Almost Forgot Was Possible.
{Hop over here to Jennifer’s blog}
I’m quite excited about this title as well! I think I’ve said that about each of these books, but then I said it at the very beginning of the post and that’s also the title of this post and really, the whole point of the post……..NEW BOOKS I’M EXCITED ABOUT!!! 🙂
Have you read The Happiness Dare by Jennifer Dukes Lee? {You’ll find a post about it here.} I loved it. I’m currently reading her book, Love Idol and enjoying it too.
It’s All Under Control has the book AS WELL as a 6 week Bible study!
These two sentences about the book totally snagged my attention ~ “Jennifer Dukes Lee never thought she struggled with control. As long as everything went exactly the way she wanted it to, she was totally flexible.”
Yes. Me. So totally flexible……if you do everything my way. I can’t wait to hear Jennifer’s heart in this one!
Have you read any of these or are they on your wishlist? I’d love to hear! I’d also love to hear YOUR shout-out about any favorite books you’ve recently read, re-read or discovered! Happy day, friends!

Thank you for including my forthcoming book in your list of 10. That means so much, friend.
Thanks for stopping by, Jennifer!
I really am looking forward to your book and study! September will be here before we know it! 🙂
