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)

36307634

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

34513785

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)
39725622

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

39071056

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 

34506913
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!

What are your most anticipated releases for the first half of this year?

Top Ten Tuesday- Holiday / Seasonal Freebie- Memorable characters of 2020

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana  @thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we book bloggers will post a reply to the topic. This week, it's a seasonal / winter freebie. I kind of went rogue in a way. In the winter you see the end of the year best-of lists, and that's exactly what I did with this post. You will find subsections to indicate the genre each book is in.  YA Contemporary 1- Pepper from Tweet Cute by Emma Lord Tweet Cute was a novel I read in September. I fell hard for the major character, Pepper. She was so sweet, and she wanted so much to lice her own life.  As a bonus, she baked, and I seem to really love characters who bake. Pepper made this list because she wanted to live her own life for her, and I really admire that quality in a person. 2- Sophie from 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston I’m in the middle of this book right now, but I ...

Top Ten Tuesday- characters that remind me of myself

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! This is a weekly meme where readers discuss ten or whatever number you would like to have based on a prompt. Our host is Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl . Our topic this week is Characters Like Myself. I am going to take a two words that each character has in in my opinion,  and discuss how that relates to me  as well. 1- Cather Avery from Fangirl Writer- At her core, Cath is a writer, and she loves her stories. I am a writer of both Fan Fiction and original stories like Cath so this was an automatic in for this. Both of us love our work and we tend to through ourselves whole hardheartedly into our work. Sisters- I might have mentioned this on the blog before but I have a younger sister and we’re only roughly 18 months a part. Cath and her twin sister Wren are polar  opposites and this is me and my sister. My younger sister is an extrovert and into science. I on the other hand,  am an introverted creative bookworm.  ...

Top Ten Tuesday - Unpopular Bookish opinions

Welcome Back! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by  thatartsyreadergirl . This week the top is unpopular bookish opinions, was submitted by Kaitlin Galvan at  somehowimanageablog . I don't think I have that many unpopular opinions, but We'll see if I can get to ten. I do not mean this to be a personal attack. I know some of these will get into beloved areas of book community, so take these as just my opinions. 1- I have only read one Harry Potter book, and will probably never read the rest. Yes, I know how odd this makes me sound. I was a Twilight kid, and I preferred those over Harry Potter. I have see all the movies, and I want to read Fantastic Beast, as I believe I will love that world and those characters more. 2- I hate mystery and horror novels. I know how odd this might sound to some people. I'm just not a fan because they creep me out and I am more skittish than most people. This is a beloved genre, so I think this is an Unpopular opinion? The exception to thi...
