I’m looking forward to reading lots of books this year and have set a personal target for 100. There’s a few standout titles by authors I love being released in the first half of 2018, and I’ve been quietly saving the covers into a folder called ‘Anticipated Reads’. There’s 10 covers in there now, so I thought I’d share them with you.
