2019 has me extremely excited when it comes to book releases and while the year only just started, I’m already looking forward to the end of it because it’s got like THE most anticipated release of the year for me: Gideon the Ninth. Sometimes I’m a little nervous that I’m too hyped up about this book and can only be disappointed but HOT DAMN, it sounds so good.
I’m actually trying to limit myself in buying new releases this year (maybe three at max with exceptions in those few insane months when EVERY book releases) and concentrate more on reading backlist titles and binge read already finished series but publishers make it really hard!

Here is hope I didn’t mix up any release dates.
I wish I could say these are the only books I’m interested in, but the actual list is far longer. This is my priority list so far though.
What are your most anticipated releases?

Jan 11th, 2019I love how you’ve arranged this by month! Makes it very easy to follow. I’ve seen people talking about Priory of the Orange Tree and I look forward to seeing how you find it. I wasn’t a huge fan of The Bone Season, so I’m not sure what to think! Have you read that series of hers?
