My Most Anticipated Book Releases Of 2019
Happy 2019, Soul Questers!!
Actually, at the time of writing this, it’s still 2018. In fact, it’s Christmas Eve. My family doesn’t go out much for Christmas and honestly, I’m in a bit of a blog post writing mood, so I might as well take advantage of it and pre-write a blog post or two.
Today, I’m really excited to discuss the books I’m MOST excited for in 2019. Now, I’m sure more are going to pop up throughout the year that I’m also going to be super excited for as well, but as of now, these are the books I’ve written down that I CAN’T WAIT to read. Sorry for the overuse of caps lock.
Without further ado, let’s just dive in.
(P.S. None of these are really in any particular order.)
MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK RELEASES OF 2019
ROMANOV by Nadine Brandes–I know this book is on so many peoples’ lists at this point. I mean…Who isn’t excited about a new Nadine Brandes book with Anastasia vibes? OK, if I’m being honest, I know little to nothing about Anastasia, but I do want to learn a little more about it before the release of the book. Fawkes was my #2 on my top 10 reads of 2018 so I am on the edge of this seat waiting for the release, especially after being rejected an early copy by Netgalley.
TO BEST THE BOYS by Mary Weber–I read both Storm Siren and The Evaporation of Sofi Snow in 2018. While Storm Siren honestly wasn’t my favorite thing to read, I LOVED Sofi Snow and can’t wait to read the sequel. To Best The Boys, her 2019 release sounds so fun and gripping! I also got rejected for this book on Netgalley but I really hope there are opportunities to try to win a copy of this book anyways.
WITHIN THESE LINES by Stephanie Morrill–Stephanie actually got me into the teen writing community. I found her blog and eventually was led to the GTW Facebook group which has introduced me to so many like-minded souls. I was on her launch team for The Lost Girl Of Astor Street, which was my first launch team experience. While Historical Fiction isn’t my normal genre, I do like to read one every once in a while to get me out of my comfort zone and Stephanie writes great novels so of course, I’m really excited to get to her World War 2 inspired novel!
FIRE AND ICE: THE KINDRED WOODS by Erin Forbes–OK, I L-O-V-E Erin’s books SO much. The Lost Dreamer is SO good! I get to be a part of the cover reveal which is happening “tomorrow” though if you’re reading this, it’s already been revealed in all of its beautiful gloriousness and it’s here for you to stare at. I CANNOT wait for this release and I will support Erin in all of her endeavors and continue to read her books inside and outside The Gifted Society.
CORAL by Sara Ella–I haven’t read many mermaids inspired novels before, but they sound so fun, and Sara Ella is a beautiful writer with a lyrical writing style I can’t get enough of. When I heard she was publishing a mermaid book I got so excited, especially when I saw this cover!! (JUST LOOK AT THIS) If you haven’t read Unblemished or the sequels, I highly recommend them! I have yet to read the finale, but I just need to buy the hardcover and I haven’t gotten around to it yet. (Update: I ended up buying it with my Christmas money!)
JADED SPRING by Kristen Martin–Kristen Martin, you may know is one of my inspirations as an author. I plan on rereading Shadow Crown very soon so I can finally read my beautiful new copy of Renegade Cruex. I already knew that this book was going to make it onto this list. As of now, I plan on reading every book she puts out. After Renegade Cruex, I’ll be all caught up until this next installment in her fantasy series.
THE KILLING TIDE by Dani Pettrey–Fun fact: My mom worked for Dani for a period of time. She was her virtual assistant, which was how I got into her books. I binged her entire Chesapeake Valor Series, and when I saw she had a new book on the way, I was super excited. Dani’s books are another out-of-my-comfort-zone genre, but I really enjoyed them and it made me more interested in the Christian Suspense genre.
LYDIA GREEN OF MULBERRY GREEN by Millie Florance–Millie is a fellow author in the teen author community. I read her debut, Honey Butter and it’s such a cute feel-good story. Lydia Green sounds like one of those lighthearted fantasy stories I’m going to cuddle up and read and then share with my 10-year-old sister. Millie is an absolute gem and you must follow her if you don’t already.
ON THE COME UP by Angie Thomas–The Hate U Give is practically a must-read for anyone who can handle the topic and the language. I think it’s an important story read less for the entertainment and more for the message. On The Come Up was supposed to come out in 2018 but it was delayed because of the release of THUG’s movie in October. Nevertheless, I’m so excited to read her next book.
And those are my most anticipated releases for 2019! I hope you enjoyed today’s post.
