Really missing Wayward Son on this list! :-)

Yessss. So many lovely books coming out!!
So many amazing books here! Can’t wait for I Wish You All The Best, Wicked Saints, Internment, The Gilded Wolves, Enchantee, Romanov and Sorcery of Thorns!BTW, pretty sure Red White and Royal Blue isn’t YA, it has adult content.
The SuspectsNot sure if The Suspects (Richard Wright) will make it to the list, but I think it'd be a worthy addition. I don't even know if I'm allowed to say so here! But it has worth, whatever.
Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell is a long a waited sequel .. also Red Scrolls of Magic by Cassandra Clare is a new series that should be on this list ..

Um the only major thing missing would be WAYWARD SON BY RAINBOW ROWELL

Oooo awesome, glad to be of help! ♥
I'm looking forward to the next book in the Red Rising Series, Iron Gold
Sara wrote: "I'm looking forward to the next book in the Red Rising Series, Iron Gold"Do you mean Dark Age? Because Iron Gold was released last year. I'm looking forward to that too. Even though I haven't started the series yet.
Why is Red, White, and Royal Blue on this list? Isn't it an adult book as stated by its author?
descendant of the crane looks awesome so added it to my TBR list.
What about the Fieldguide to the North American Teenager?
so many of them sound like they are going to be really good. I am thinking of reading Romanov, Once and Future, and Enchantee. but I probably will read more of them.
All those covers are positively lovely.
Cities of Dead by Alys Arden, Healer by Kay L Moody
But so many books are missing, especially these sequels
Need to add The Good Luck Girls by Charlotte Davis—out in Fall, 2019; and I Wanna Be Where You Are by Kristina Forest
Sequel to Thunderhead and the Defy the Stars/Worlds series!
I would recommend “All the Promises We Break”by Brenda Benny. I think it’s a prequel to her first YA novel, That Secret You Keep.
The subject matter is very current even though the story takes place about 30 years ago.
Omg where is wayward son?! It NEEDS to be on here
The Witch in Winter by Katherine Arden (which I just ordered, WOOT!)
I need Susan Denard to finish the Truthwitch series this year so I can read it all in one sitting....
Wow where's Stain by A. G. Howard? It's coming out JANUARY 15TH!
Are there no male YA authors? All these books seem to be pitched to women. Is Goodreads suggesting that YA men don't read YA books? Where are the books that could be pitched to men on this list?
You forgot Crecsent City Broken Throne and Defy Me
The Vanishing Stair and Wayward Son, which I don’t see on list and that’s the one I’m most excited about. I need it!!
Ummm... actually. The World of Throne of Glass is not a sequel per say. It's more a encyclopedia than anything else.
Missing the second Impostors book by Scott Westerfield
Really can't wait for the new caraval book finale!
Mine, Philip Pullman’s next book in the Book of Dust trilogy coming out in October
