Top Ten Most Anticipated Releases For The Second Half Of The Year

It’s always fun to do a post about new releases that come out during the 2nd half of the year, because when I do this at the beginning of the year, it’s so easy to focus on stuff that’s coming out the first few months.  These books are the releases I’m really looking forward to reading!  Clicking on the title will take you to Goodreads!

1. Heartless by Marissa Meyer.  I love the Lunar Chronicles, and I can’t wait to read this one because it’s an Alice In Wonderland re-telling, and she did such an amazing job re-telling fairy tales that I know it’s going to be just as good as her other books.
2. Empire Of Storms by Sarah J. Maas.  I still need to read Queen Of Shadows, but I know I’ll have it read by the time Empire Of Storms comes out!
3. The Beauty Of Darkness by Mary Pearson.  The Heart Of Betrayal is even better than The Kiss Of Deception, in my opinion, so I can’t wait to see how this series comes to an end.
4. Harry Potter And The Cursed Child script!!!! I am so insanely excited about this it isn’t even funny.  I’m normally not a big fan of reading plays, but this is one time I’m more than willing to make an exception!
5. Paper And Fire by Rachel Caine.  I love the idea of the library of Alexandria being set in a steampunk world where personally owning books is forbidden, and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
6. The Reader by Traci Chee.  I’m excited about this book, mostly because I really like the idea of books being unheard of in this society,
7. Imprudence by Gail Carriger.  I just love Gail Carriger, and I can’t wait to see more of Prudence’s adventures.
8. Red Hot Rain by Rachel Caine.  Ever since I found out another Weather Warden book was coming out, I’ve been looking forward to reading it!
9. My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand, Jodi Meadows, and Brodi Ashton.  I haven’t read anything by Brodi Ashton, but I am a huge fan of Cynthia Hand and Jodi Meadows, and that’s why I’m really excited about their take on Lady Jane Grey.
10. Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Cordova.  I’m looking forward to this book because magic goes wrong at Alex’s Deathday Celebration, and I love the idea of fantasy that draws from Latin America.
