I am signing- up for this challenge again and hope that it´ll be as much fun to do as the last two years were. This year I am planning on reading books like I do every year so the next year won´t be any different from this current one. The only exception could be, that I might not read as many new releases, as I have been reading the past years. But I don´t think that that will change the fun and with that in mind, I am looking forward to going in again and see how it will turn out.
Some things in my reading life have changed and since I can´t evaluate how the coming year will turn out for me when it comes to receiving or buying new releases, I rather keep it low key this time and only plan on reaching the first level. Despite that, I still will be reading and reviewing.
There is only one thing I want to add (to avoid any misunderstandings). I handle this blog and my reviews in English, but the books I read are mostly German books, which means – for this challenge – that the German translation is published in 2018. And I will be reading some English books, too. And the ones I will use for this challenge are of course released in 2018.
With that cleared, here some rules about this challenge. Not working without them and so that you know what you´re signing up for – in case you want to join the club *smile*
The 2018 New Release Challenge is a year-long challenge in which we aim to read books released in 2018. Lexxie at (un)Conventional Bookviews will host this challenge. There will be monthly update posts, and each quarter – the end of March, end of June, end of September and in December, there will be a giveaway with the update as well.
There is also a Facebook Group, to have a place where we can keep up with each other, cheer each other on, ask questions, and get to know each other better. It is also a place where we can help each other to find even more new releases. So, make sure to step in and have some fun along the way …

The Rules For The 2018 New Release Challenge Are Simple
