1- Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy: A Graphic Novel: A Modern Retelling of Little Women

by 

Rey Terciero,

Expected publication: February 5,2019 

I love Little Women! I've read a few graphic novels, but I  always wanted to read more of them. This is also a modern retelling, and I love the idea of another modern retelling of this classic story. Also, I love a story that takes place in NYC; I am just very excited to read a new novelization of this story. I love the cover of the book, and so I look forward to seeing the illustrations. 

2- King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo (Nikolai Duology # 1)



Expected publication: January 29, 2019

So, I will admit that I have not read The Grisha trilogy yet, but I have a big book of the first three novels I will start next month. I love what I have heard about the world so far, and the series is popular. I look forward to reading this between the original three books, and the Six Crows Duology.  I can't wait to explore this world and these characters.

3- The Wicked King by Holly Black (The Folk of Air #2)

Expected publication: January 8, 2019  (today!!!!)

I will not read this until I can buy a physical copy, maybe next month or later this month when I get to the store. I am reading the first book, and I love these characters and this world. I don't know why I took this long to read the book. I  can't wait to see where the rest of the story goes for the rest of this book, and the book to come. I am sure this book has been hyped, but I think it is well deserved.

4- Sky Without Stars (System Divine #1) by Jessica Brody and Joanne Rendell



Expected publication: May 26th, 2019

I love Les Miserables and they bill this as a Les Miserables retelling. I love that this is more than one book because it gives me more time to fall in love with the world and the characters. I have read Les Miserables, and I want to see how this book compares to the original story. I love everything about this book already!

5- Romanov by Nadine Brandes

Expected publication: May 7, 2019

I love the Romanovs! I am so excited to read this retelling it looks like it the book to pull me into the world, and the people I love. This is a new tale about Anastasia and I  am so here for this story.

6- The Princess and the Fangirl by Ashley Poston (Once Upon A Con # 2)


Expected publication: April 2, 2019

I loved Ashley Poston's Heart of Iron! I have the first book in this series I will read before this release. I love the look of this book and the fact it is a retelling. The Goodreads summary pulls be in because it is a twist on the classic mistaken identity story.

7- Sherwood by Meagan Spooner

Expected publication: March 19, 2019

A Robin Hood story with Marian as the star?! Yes, please! I am so excited to read this book and see the kinds of adventures that Marian will go on within this story. The arc reviews of this book give the novel high praise, which makes me more excited to read it.

8- Going Off- Script by Jen Wilde



I enjoyed The Brightsiders last year, so when I saw this book come up on a list today, I knew I wanted to read it. As a writer, who is big into fandom, I can see what Bex is going through, and I can't wait to read her story. I feel that this is a story that needs to be told, so I am very excited to read it.

9- Enchantée by  Gita Trelease

Expected publication: February 5,2019

I am taken in because this novel takes place in France! Also, it is historical fiction and I am so down for a grand historical fiction. The plot of the book looks amazing, maybe not what I reach for, but this could change my mind with the story. The story seems magical from the Goodreads summary. 

10-  Comics Will Break Your Heart by Faith Erin Hicks 


Expected publication: February 12,2018

I love the premise of this book! I feel this will be a very engaging story about two people who should maybe not be together. I can't wait to read this!
