My Anticipated Releases of 2017

 

Top Ten Tuesday is an absolutely wonderful bookish tag which involves making lists(!) of books(!), and is hosted by fabulous blog The Broke and the Bookish.

Unsurprisingly, I am in love with this topic. (And I already know it’s going to lead me to adding plenty of books to my tbr once I start visiting other blogs). And let’s be honest, there are so many exciting books coming out so there was no way I was going with only ten. So there is a slight risk of your tbr exploding if you read on. But hey, don’t blame me!

JUNE

• The Names They Gave Us // Books about teenagers struggling with their faith aren’t particularly common in YA, so I can’t wait to read this.
• Dividing Eden // Twins fighting for the throne – count me in!
• Song of the Current // PIRATES
• Our Dark Duet // It’s V. E. Schwab, what more do you need to know?
• Roar // Storm magic + princesses + storm hunters

JULY

• Ash and Quill // I always forget how much I love this series until a new book comes out, and then I get excited about libraries and friendship all over again
• The Library of Fates // So it’s about Indian folkore, so hopefully it’ll be fantastic (even though I’m not a massive fan of the cover…)
• Lucky in Love // Kasie West writes the cutest contemporary books, and this one looks lovely
• Alex, Approximately // Again, another summery contemporary book which looks like so much fun
• The Build-Up Season // The synopsis is already kind of heart-breaking… 

AUGUST

• The Hearts We Sold // Teenagers selling their hearts in deals with demons – I’m intrigued
• Wicked Like Wildfire // Forbidden magic, forbidden love, and wicked curses
• Wonder Woman: Warbringer // A book about Wonder Woman by Leigh Bardugo(!!) – the perfect combination

SEPTEMBER 

a.k.a the month I go broke

• Tower of Dawn // I’m not sure I even want an entire book about Chaol (also it’ll ruin the pattern of Aelin and her pretty dresses on the covers), but….. I’m curious
• Even The Darkest Stars // It’s about explorers and climbing and maps, which I’m pretty sure is the book I never knew I needed
• They Both Die At The End // Is it possible to be in love with a title? Because this one is fantastic.
• Girls Made Of Snow And Glass // I cannot resist a fairytale retelling, and this Snow White retelling sounds so good
• Things A Bright Girl Can Do // SUFFRAGETTES!! Also historical fiction!! And it has no cover yet! But it sounds like it could be one of my favourites this year!
• Jane, Unlimited // I was a big fan of Kristin Cashore’s Graceling, and although this looks entirely different, I’m still really excited
• Before She Ignites // A fantasy book about (a) mental health, and (b) dragons – give it to me now!
• Starfish // Another contemporary, but this one has a half-Japanese, half-American protaganist who suffers from social anxiety
• The Language of Thorns // Why hello again, Leigh Bardugo!
• There’s Someone Inside Your House // Firstly, that title is super creepy, and secondly, I don’t think this is going to be anything like Anna and the French Kiss

OCTOBER

• The Ship of the Dead // Rick Riordan is an auto-buy author for me, and I can’t wait for more adventures with Magnus Chase
• Wild Beauty // Magical gardeners who make people disappear if they love them too much
• That Inevitable Victorian Thing // A world where the US never existed? Tea parties and country dances? Also Victorians? And a perfect cover? This sounds too good.
• Forest of a Thousand Lanterns // I saw the words “East Asian fantasy” and knew I had to read it
• All The Crooked Saints // A stand alone Maggie Stiefvater book – it’s gonna be great

November

• Renegades // MARISSA MEYER!
• The Becoming of Noah Shaw // I loved the Mara Dyer books, so hopefully this new series will be just as good

Based on this list, I’ll have no money by the end of the summer – but that’s just typical bookworm problems, right? And also I need some December recommendations! I don’t seem to have any on my wishlist, so which December books are you looking forward to? Let me know in the comments!

What’s your most anticipated read of 2017?
