Teresa Kander Hoping I can use The Winds of Winter by George R. R. Martin for this one, but that really depends on George! LOL


message 3: by Natália (new)

Natália Lopes (silkcaramel) I'm with Teresa, but if that doesn't happen, I'll stick with The Crown, the final book in The Selection series by Kiera Cass.

Amanda | 229 comments Here are my options at the moment: "The Queen of the Night" by Alexander Chee, Tender, by Belinda McKeon, 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl, by Mona Awad, Hold Still, by Lynn Steger Strong or the After Party, by Anton Disclafani.
Here is the article I looked at:

Valerie | 280 comments I have three authors with books being released on the 5th of January, but I might wait for either Juliet Blackwell's new release, or Heather Blake's new release. One is due in May, and one is due in June.

But, since I tend to walk into book stores often, and I get emails from several publishers...I might find something before then. For me, this is an easy prompt. So many books!!!

Katie | 15 comments I'm seriously hoping for Martin too. Just finished re-reading the series, and I'm all geared up for a new release.

Teresa (teremazon) I am just going to be very lazy: I will just count the first pre-ordered book that has appeared in my kindle in January. It'll also allow me to go back to my Romance favourite genre for a while. Big Rock by Lauren Blakely.

Melissa I'm going to read My Name Is Lucy Barton by Elizabeth Strout. I have not read any of her books before and she has won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. This book is about a woman's long stay in a hospital. It was published today and there is a long hold at my library! I hope to get it in a month or two, lol.

Mary Sue My book club is reading The Best Kind of People for our October selection, so I am using that for this task. It deals with a serious topic - rape culture - and it really made me think. While at times, a bit predictable, the author did throw in a few surprises. 4 stars!

Kang Ying She I Would recommend Bookishly Ever After this is a book for those who love romance and can feel yourself as the main character. OrThe Hidden Oracle or The Hammer of Thor by Rick Riordan
