Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It’s all about love of lists, love of literature and bringing bookish people together.
This week’s list is our most anticipated releases for the first half of 2019. Now, I have to admit, I haven’t really looked into books in 2019 yet! I’m trying to keep up with my backlist, but it’s a struggle I tell you- a struggle!
Here are the books I’ve come up with (book image goes to Goodreads!)
This book sounds very intriguing. It looks like it’ll be part of a series too, which is interesting! It’s been a while since I’ve read a sci-fi esque book.
I’m intrigued to read another book by Suzanne Young. It’s been a while since I’ve read a book by her. This sounds very dystopian!
I thought I recognised the author’s name! This is Polandbananasbooks (A well knownYoutuber) novel! I’m excited to see what this book is like.
I like witchy books and this is a witchy book!
I still need to read The Hating Game but I’m aiming to do that soon!
Love Kasie West! It doesn’t take much for her to appear on my lists. She’s one of my favourite contemporary ‘fluff’ writers.
I like the sounds of this book! Again, I need to read a book from the author- The Kiss Quotient- but I’ve heard good things about that one.
I enjoyed When Dimple Met Rishi, so I’m looking forward to reading this one (again, need catch up with her prior release!)
This book just sounds sweet and I like a sweet read!
A.G. Howard always has such stunning covers! I’m looking forward to reading this book. It sounds fabulous. It’s inspired by The Princess and The Pea.
Ooh yeah The Similars! I liked that one.
Glad to hear it Greg!
The Bride Test looks cute. One good thing about doing this activity, now I am really excited about a few upcoming books. Since I usually don’t pay attention to releases this is a new position for me. Hope you get to read a few of your anticipated books. My Anticipated Releases
I’m really pleased that you’ve found this prompt useful!
Three cheers for Kasie West (of course!), and yay for Christine’s, too. While I know I’ll enjoy Kasie’s, I’m hopeful, I’ll also like Christine’s as well. Also, “The Similar’s” is one I’ve seen around, but haven’t read up on. I think I need to remedy this! Happy reading – and thanks so much for the Finding Wonderland visit, Chrissi. 🙂
Thanks Rissi! I’m really looking forward to both books. Thank you for the return visit.
I can’t wait for Again but Better! And the cover for Stain is gorgeous!!
It is simply stunning!
Between the title and the cover I NEED to know more about These Witches Don’t Burn.
It looks amazing!
Thanks for the heads up on these! I enjoy Kaysie West as well, but I am super-excited for the new Menon! I adored When Dimple Met Rishi and From Twinkle with Love!
I really need to read From Twinkle With Love. I liked When Dimple Met Rishi.
Great list, Chrissi! It didn’t make my list this week, but I’m looking forward to These Witches Don’t Burn, too. The cover of Famous in a Small Town is so pretty!
It is. It immediately caught my eye.
I’m reading 99 Percent Mine soon. These all sound good!
It does sound really good!
Yes, “Again But Better” does sound like an interesting read.
This is my Top Ten Tuesday post.
Can’t wait to read it!
I would pick up The Similars on the strength of that cover alone!
It has got a stunning cover!
These Witches Don’t Burn sounds fabulous. I’ve requested The Kiss Quotient ages ago from my library. I better put her next book on hold already 😉
Here is my TTT: https://ichleseblog.wordpress.com/2019/01/07/top-ten-tuesday-most-anticipated-releases-for-the-first-half-of-2019/
I need to get around to The Kiss Quotient. I got a copy for Christmas so hopefully I will soon.
There’s Something About Sweetie is on my list and I love Menon’s writing. The Similars, These Witches Don’t Burn and The Bride Test are on my TBR list as well. Lovely list you have this week.
Thank you! 🙂
OMG, These Witches Don’t Burn looks so cute! I’m definitely adding this one.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
It looks fantastic!
These Witches Don’t Burn and Stain didn’t quite make my list, but they’re still ones I’m looking forward to.
My TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2019/01/08/top-ten-tuesday-193/
Looking forward to seeing yours!
Thank you 🙂
These witches don’t burn sounds amazing!
I’m really looking forward to it!
Lovely list. I’m getting very intrigued by Again, but Better! I’ve seen it on a few lists today.
Me too! I thought it might be popular.
We have a lot of the same books on our lists this week! I am so excited for this winter. It’s going to be amazing book wise. Nice list!
I agree! It looks like it’s going to be a good one!
Famous in a Small Town… probably should have been on my list. I’m a big fan of Emma Mills’ writing, especially how she writes friendships.
Ooh I haven’t read her writing before, but I’m looking forward to it now.
Great list! So many of these books sound awesome! Stain is on my list too. I loved A.G. Howard’s Splintered series and am so excited for this new one from her!
Me too! She’s always bless with such beautiful book covers.
I started my ARC of 99 Percent Mine last night and it’s so good! Hope you enjoy it 🙂
I’m so pleased to read that Dani!
I’ve still got to read The Kiss Quotient but I’m just highkey very excited to see readers being excited for Hoang’s follow-up. But also, the Similars sounds like it could be real good. I mean…clones. What else do you need as a pitch?
Cheers,
joey via. thoughts and afterthoughts
I know. It’s definitely a good sign that people are so excited about the follow up!
Great list! A lot of titles remember me I still need to read the author’s previous book or books as well. xD
Ha! We’re terrible…too many books on our TBR!
I don’t even want to look at my TBR mountain. xD
Oh wow, I see a few here I’ll need to read! I’m just now listening to When Dimple Met Rishi, but I’m enjoying it so much that I’m sure I’ll want to read more by this author. I’m looking forward to 99 Percent Mine and The Bride Test too. And I love the cover of The Similars — don’t know anything about it, but the cover image makes me want to find out. Enjoy!
Thanks Lisa! There’s definitely a lot of promise in this list!
I love Kasie West’s books too! And this one sounds great. I’ve not read anything by Emma Mills, but her books sounds so intriguing! The LGBT witchy one looks fun as well. I think we’re both going to enjoy 2019! 😄
I think so! Thanks Annette.
I liked The Kiss Quotient, so The Bride Test is probably a book I’m going to have to read. Stain looks good too. Happy reading!
Thanks Brooke! 🙂
I swear I cheer like a hyperactive sports fan anytime someone includes A.G. Howard on their lists! I’m so excited for Stain, too, and you’re totally right. The covers for her book are so swoon-worthy. Beyond. That being said, a lot of these sounds great too! I love the cover for The Similars. Ah!
Thanks Jessica! These covers are fabulous.
I didn’t realize we were getting more from Suzanne Young – I’m going to have to add that to my tbr. 🙂
I was quite surprised to see it! I’m intrigued though.
Oh my gosh you definitely do need to still read The Hating Game! The Similars looks really interesting.
I will get me a copy! 😀
I’m also excited for 99 Percent Mine, Famous in a Small Town, and Fate, Fame, and the First Kiss! I hope they live up to our expectations!
Fingers crossed!
I can’t believe we are getting another Kasie West book so soon. This sounds adorable, so I can’t wait!
I know! She’s a machine.
Great list! Really want to read The Similars and These Witches Don’t Burn!
They look SO good!
I just started 99 Percent Mine! And yes, you definitely still need to read The Hating Game. One of my all time favorite contemporary romances. 🙂
Ooh good to know. Thanks Bonnie. I’ll try get my hands on a copy soon.
I’m keen to pick up Again, But Better and There’s Something About Sweetie! I’ve also been seeing a lot of buzz around Stain so that’s on my radar now too!
😀 Yay! I hope you enjoy them.
I’m looking forward to Stain, These Witches Don’t Burn, and Girls With Sharp Sticks, as well! They all have amazing covers and sound like good stories. I hope we both enjoy them 😀 Another book I’m looking forward to releases this month – Firestarter by Tara Sim, which is the last book in the Timekeeper trilogy. I can’t wait to read it!
Ooh I hadn’t heard heard of that trilogy. I will look it up!
The Similars was… entertaining. It wasn’t like, a 5 star book for me, but it WAS quite enjoyable. And I’d read a sequel! I am SO excited for Girls With Sharp Sticks! It sounds like a “me” book for sure! Hope you end up loving all of these!!
Thanks Shannon. Interesting about The Similars. I shall keep that in mind.
I’ve seen so many of these around lately. Girls with Sharp Sticks looks like it will be fabulous. Thanks for visiting The Book Connection this week.
Thanks for the return visit Cheryl! 🙂
So many great covers especially Again, But Better. I love witchy books to so I should keep an eye out for These Witches Don’t Burn!
I can’t resist a witchy book!
A.G. Howard really does have the best covers!! I’m super curious about These Witches Don’t Burn as well. I mean, how awesome is that title??
