I adore reading, I don’t blog about it much because I am not very good at book reviews and I don’t really know what to say, also I am terrible at not spoiling because I want to discuss everything that’s happened. This year I have struggled with reading with most of my books read being ones that I have already read. I have read 8 books this year and only 3 of those have been new reads. I only have a Goodreads goal of 20 books because that’s how much I’m struggling unfortunately to find things I want to read, I’m not sure what I want to read. However, there are some books coming out this year that I am very excited to read so I thought I’d list them here.
A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J Maas
Publication date: 1st May
Goodreads Synopsis:
Months after the explosive events in A Court of Wings and Ruin, Feyre, Rhys, and their companions are still busy rebuilding the Night Court and the vastly-changed world beyond. But Winter Solstice is finally near, and with it, a hard-earned reprieve. Yet even the festive atmosphere can't keep the shadows of the past from looming. As Feyre navigates her first Winter Solstice as High Lady, she finds that those dearest to her have more wounds than she anticipated--scars that will have far-reaching impact on the future of their Court.

I really love Sarah J Maas’s books, I started Throne of Glass so many years ago and stuck with that and now with the A Court series, I liked this series as it progressed and I’m love the systems in this world and I’m excited for this little novella, told by Feyre and Rhys and seeing the gang of characters we love and adore.

I’m so excited for this book, Giovanna Fletcher is one of my all time favourite authors and fact she has teamed up with Tom to write this YA series is going to be interesting, I cannot wait to read it. I love the idea of it all and the fact that it is going to be a trilogy as well should be good. Obviously will be very different from the fiction she normally writes but I cannot wait. I am also going to the Birmingham book signing on June 2nd which will be so exciting so look out for that post. I cannot wait for everything about this book.

Publication date: 12th July
Goodreads Synopsis:
In 1952 two young lovers meet, in secret, at the beautiful Southern C ross theatre in the very heart of London's West End. Their relationship is made up of clandestine meetings and stolen moments because there is someone who will make them suffer if he discovers she is no longer 'his'.

Except the ghost is appearing more often and seems hell bent on sabotaging Oscar and Olive. The young couple realise they need to right that wrong from years gone by, but can they save themselves before history repeats itself and tragedy strikes once more?

I think this is my most anticipated book of the year, ever since Carrie told us the premise I’ve been hooked. A ghost and love story set in the theatre how glorious does that sound, it’s like music to my ears. I love Carrie’s writing and her unique ideas and this is just Another that’s going to be incredible. I cannot wait, I’ve heard it’s more grown up as well which I’m intrigued to see how. I’m sure it’s going to be amazing and the cover is just to die for like the rest of her books.

This is the third book in the DC Icons series where a selection of the best YA authors tell us origin stories of our favourite DC heroes. I love DC so far we’ve had Leigh Bardugo bring us Wonder Woman and Marie Lu bring us Batman. So I’m excited for another one in the series about a character I’m not overly familiar with compared to the rest of the superheroes in the series. Excitedly in 2019 is the last book in the shape of Matt de la Pena bringing us Superman. It’s a great series if you like superheroes and DC in a different way.

Another Sarah J Maas book and possibly the most anticipated of all her books due this year. This book is the epic conclusion to the Throne of Glass series, considering how this series started I never thought we would be where we are now with it especially after Tower of Dawn which I thoroughly enjoyed. I just need to know how it all ends and who is ok and who isn’t ok, I think we are in for some heartbreak and shocks. I’m excited but nervous for this.
