Books That I Can’t Wait To Read in 2019

Books That I Can’t Wait To Read in 2019

January 8, 2019 Posted by angelreads Discussions, TBR 7 Comments

There are a lot of books that I can’t wait to read this year, and it’s only January. So I thought I would share some of my most anticipated books for the next four months. I’ve included a range of different genre’s and readerships and I am so excited to see what 2019 brings. I’ve said this a couple times now, but I read a range of different books in 2018 and I hope that this year is the same. 

But anyway here we go. I’ve done these by month just so it’s a little easier but other than that they are in no particular order. 

The Wicked King (The Folk of the Air #2) by Holly Black: I have this one sitting right next to me, it’s my next read. But I had to have it on this list. Cruel Prince was shocking, dark and oh so brilliant and I have yet to hear a bad thing about book two. I am so excited to fall back into the world and fae and court intrigue. Bring it on. 

A Curse So Dark and Lonely (A Curse So Dark and Lonely #1) by Brigid Kemmerer: I’ve adored Brigid Kemmerer’s contemporary novels, so when I saw this one pop up, I knew I had to pick it up and gosh does it sound entertaining. Said to be a Beauty and the Beast retelling, I think this one is for me. 

Only a Breath Apart by Katie McGarry: It wouldn’t be a good year for if I didn’t have a Katie McGarry book to read. And yes I am so ready for it. I did a massive Katie McGarry re-read last month, and like always this sounds right up with the books that I love. Katie McGarry books are never easy to read through. There is also heartbreak, but also to do with family good or bad. 

Overnight Sensation (Brooklyn Bruisers #5) by Sarina Bowen: YES, YES, YES. I need this one now, please and thank you. I love this series, I mean it’s all about Ice Hockey and you know how much I love them. Also, it’s about Castro and gosh give me this one. 

Enchantée by Gita Trelease: This caught my eye late last year and now I can’t wait to pick it up. Paris in 1789, with a little bit of magic. It brings two of my favourite genre’s together; historical fiction and fantasy. Just go and read the synopsis and tell me what you think. 

On the Come Up by Angie Thomas: A new Angie Thomas, need I say more. I still try and recommend THUG whenever I can, and now with this coming out, I can give them more Angie Thomas love. And I think I would pick this up even if it wasn’t Angie Thomas because man does it sound good. 

The Risk (Briar U #2) by Elle Kennedy: New Elle Kennedy? Yes, please. I adored Brenna in The Chase, so I am so looking forward to getting to know not only her more but her man. Plus it’s a sports romance, what more can I ask for. 

The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros: My favourite romance authors are just giving it to me this year. Another military novel from Rebecca Yarros that I know will tear me apart. Seriously. The synopsis just kills me, so have no idea how I am going to survive the whole book, but bring it on. 

Lovely War by Julie Berry: I hadn’t heard anything about this book before I started making this list and know I need it! Like right now. Not only is it historical fiction, but also includes Greek gods. It just sounds so interesting and something that I already know I am going to love to bits. 

Eyes on Me by Rachel Harris: I haven’t read a Rachel Harris in so long and I’m excited she is bringing out a new YA. It just sounds so cute and I can’t. Most of the time I really don’t enjoy dancing in books, I don’t know really. But I think it’s going to work perfectly right here. 

Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte: I have had a copy of this for months now, but I just haven’t had time to pick it up and read it. But let me tell you how excited I am about this #LoveOZYA. I have known Astrid for years now and I am so happy that I get to read something like this. 

The Everlasting Rose (The Belles #2) by Dhonielle Clayton: I feel weird putting this one on my list. While I didn’t love the first book, I am really excited to see where the story is taken. I kind of don’t know what to expect and that feels great. 

 Every Moment After by Joseph Moldover: This book is going to make me cry like a baby, but also how good does it sound? I think it’s going to be one of those books that stays with me forever and I can’t wait. 

The Red Scrolls of Magic (The Eldest Curses #1) by Cassandra Clare and Wesley Chu: Yer, I don’t think anyone would be surprised that this one is on my list at all. Magnus and Alec, just as they are getting together, off in Paris. And fighting demons – give me, please.

Serious Moonlight by Jenn Bennett: New book from Jenn Bennett, um yes. As soon as I read the synopsis of this one, I knew that I needed to pick it up. I’ve loved all of Jenn Bennett’s novels that I have read I expect nothing less. But I think this one might just stand out even more. 

Breaking His Rules by Aliza Mann: I hadn’t heard of this one before I saw Nick share it on her twitter and now I need it. I also think I need something not as heartbreaking as the other books that I plan to read this month. 

 

And that is it! Not going to lie, some of these might change as the year goes on. But as of today, these are the books that I can’t wait to read in the coming months of 2019. What are some of your most anticipated reads for the first few months of 2019? Do we share any that’s the same? Let’s Chat!

    I finally broke down and I’ve put myself on the wait list for the audiobook of Cruel Prince at my school’s library. I just keep seeing it and The Wicked King all around so I figured I’d give it a try. I’m really not sure about it. I’m excited to read A Curse So Dark and Lonely as well! And it’s cover is awesome! I’m really looking forward to The Boy Who Steals Houses by C.G. Drews this April.

    Enchantée sounds so interesting! I love both historical fiction and fantasy as well, so combining them is even better.

    I was trying to find The Red Scrolls of Magic in Goodreads yesterday and I was in distress when I could find it (I put it in my tbr when it was still united so it somehow missed my eye)!!! Imagine my high-pitched squealing when I saw it here!

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?

January was a really solid reading month. I read s January was a really solid reading month. I read some books that had been on my tbr for some time, reread a few things that peaked my interest. I also started a few new series. And just had a good time!
