Top Ten Most Anticipated Books in the Second Half of 2015
Wooo, guys. Sometimes I can’t even with these lists. The “ten” just feels SO CONSTRICTING. It’s SQUEEZING THE LIFE OUT OF MY LIST. There’s way more than 10 books that I’m dying to read in the second half of 2015. Nothing out of the ordinary here. It shouldn’t come as a surprise, then, that there are books I’m excited about that didn’t make the cut. But, like, barely because I want to read them ALL.
Guys, I’m starting the dog days of summer off RIGHT. I’m dying for THE BOY MOST LIKELY TO. I can’t wait to read about Tim. COURT OF FIVES will probably be my first Kate Elliott book, unless I dive into one of her old-school fantasies before then. THE WOLF WILDER just sounds…so beyond amazing, I can’t even deal. I DO NOT EVER pass up on new Jay Crownover books, like BETTER WHEN HE’S BRAVE, even though I prefer her Marked Men series to Welcome to the Point. And DUH QUEEN OF SHADOWS. DUH.
I just really read the synopsis for SORCERER TO THE CROWN the other day even though it’s been on my TBR for a while now, and it blew me away. NEED IT. VENGEANCE ROAD is pushing all of my Western buttons. A MADNESS SO DISCREET sounds creepy and perfect for fall. WALK ON EARTH A STRANGER = see VENGEANCE ROAD + Rae Carson. And I’ve been solidly in Marie Lu’s corner since her Legend series. Book 1 in The Young Elites was good, but ended so strongly, I can’t wait to get my hands on THE ROSE SOCIETY.
Lots of contemps here! YAY! ROMANCING THE DARK IN THE CITY OF LIGHT…I mean, PARIS. And feelings. I am in. FIRST & THEN sounds adorable, adorable, adorable. When I found out that Rick Riordan was tackling Norse gods in MAGNUS CHASE AND THE GODS OF ASGARD, I died for a few seconds. Legit needed resuscitation. WINTER. WINTER. OMG. I am a big fan of Brigid Kemmerer’s Elementals series, even though the last book was a let down. I’m still excited to read THICKER THAN WATER, though. She does relationships really well.
I basically just nodded along to the entirety of your post, because pretty much all of these titles are on my own TBR! There are the obvious ones I’m excited for, but also the newer ones that I’m looking forward to diving into 😉
So many interesting books that I’ve never heard of before, I want them all! I can’t wait for Queen of Shadows or The Sword of Summer, I already know that I’m going to love them.
Here’s my TTT: http://bookishutopia.blogspot.no/2015/06/top-ten-tuesday-most-anticipated.html
It’s not on my list, but I’m really excited about Court of Fives too! It sounds like it’ll be a pretty great read. I also really like how you broke your list up. I think I picked books that are pretty much releasing in September because there are a ton of them.
The covers of Wolf Wilder and Vengeance Road really pull me in.
Fantastic picks! Woohoo! QUEEN OF SHADOWS!! That’s on most people’s lists–I’m finding this 🙂 And definitely super excited for A Madness So Discreet and Vengeance Road!!! First & Then is on my list too 🙂
