New to my Goodreads

I know I’m not the only one who LOVES to know what other people are reading or excited about. I think there’s something about that fresh excitement of adding something to those TBR lists that’s almost contagious. I have seen bloggers around do something like this, and I thought I might want to join in.

So…here are the last 10 books that I added to my Goodreads that I am seriously looking forward to:

Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte

A thief and an upstanding citizen reluctantly join forces to find out who killed the queens? I mean…this has Emily written all over it. I love a good murder mystery and this one seems like it will fit the bill. And it’s currently a standalone!? Nice! This one releases February 26th!

The City of Veils by S Usher Evans

Ok, first off I LOVE S. Usher Evans and all that she does! The fact that I haven’t read more of her books is an embarrassment on my part because seriously, she is so good. A royal vigilante!? Yes please! This book releases April 16th!

Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire

A friend of my mine recommended this book to me and I greatly trust her judgment. Parallel worlds, home for wayward children, kinda dark? I am all in for this one. Also, can we talk about how pretty that cover is? This one has been out since 2016 and apparently I’ve been sleeping on it.

The Wicked King by Holly Black

I read The Cruel Prince last month and very much enjoyed it. I got sucked into this world of fae and I have to know what happens next. The drama, the twists and turns…I need more! I don’t even know how to describe my need for this book without spoilers, but trust me…I need it.

The Au Pair by Emma Rous

I have been getting more into mysteries over the last couple of years. I think I try to read a couple every year. I’m always curious to see just how the author will throw me for a loop. This book, about a family that has definitely gone through some stuff, seems like it will be just perfect. I honestly can’t wait to get lost in this one.

Only a Breath Apart by Katie McGarry

I have never read anything by this author, but I have heard good things. This book seems like it mixes a contemporary book with some magical realism, which I am all for. This book just recently came out, and I am hoping I can get my hands on it soon!

The Ravens Tale by Cat Winters

A book about young Edgar Allen Poe!? Yes please! I read quite a bit of him back in the day, and I think the premise of this book sounds fantastic. I can’t wait to dive into this world and see the authors take on this man. I have never read anything by Cat Winters, so I guess I better start somewhere right? This book comes out April 16th.

We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal

A story inspired by ancient Arabia? I am totally on board with this one. It sounds like it has some fantasy elements that I love, and it’s sent in a world that I need more of in my life. I am definitely excited to get my hands on this one! This book comes out May 14th!

Descendant of the Crane by Joan He

This book is described as a Chinese inspired Game of Thrones. Count me in! While I struggled with the Game of Thrones books (so many) I definitely enjoyed the show and general outline of the story. I think that this book and this author could really pull it off and I am so excited for it! This book comes out April 2nd.

Dark of the West by Joanna Hathaway

This book is described as Code Name Verity meets The Winner’s Curse. I may still need to finish The Winner’s Curse series, but I LOVE Code Name Verity and I really enjoyed the beginning of the series for The Winner’s Curse. So basically, I feel like if those two things are smacked together I will really like the outcome. I am pretty excited to read this one. This is released February 5th!

Anyone have any 2019 releases that they are really looking forward to? Or, better yet, has anyone read any of these books? I would love to hear your thoughts!
