Five Books I’m Looking Forward to This Month!
August isn’t necessarily a month that screams “LOTS OF NEW THINGS!!” friends, but there’s still some great books coming out this month that I am DYING to read. Huzzah!
Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea: Between #1 by April Genevieve Tucholke
I’m so interested in this one! The idea of having feels that might not be genuine because the DEVIL MAKES YOU FEEL THEM is both unsettling and intriguing. Also, beach town. I’m a sucker for those for sure. (August 15 from Dial)
The Lost Kingdom by Matthew J. Kirby
ICEFALL is one of my biggest middle grade loves, so when I heard that Matthew J. Kirby was coming out with a new book that’s like cowboy steampunk, I almost died. Plus, it’s about a father-son duo–not many of those in my pile. WORD. (August 27 from Scholastic)
Sleeping Beauty’s Daughters by Diane Zahler
WHOA. HOLD UP. A middle grade fairy tale about the daughters of Sleeping Beauty who must find their fairy aunt to keep one of them from falling under the same curse that put their mother in an enchanted sleep? I’M IN. (August 27 from Harper Collins)
Relic by Renee Collins
Friends, there’s SO MUCH western/cowboy/fantasy right now. HOW EXCITING IS THAT?! This book is about a world where the bones of fantastical creatures are sold for the little bits of leftover magic they have, and one girl–who works in a saloon, for crying out loud–gets wrapped up in some magic shenanigans and has to save her town. It sounds amazing. (August 27 from Entangled Teen)
The Bitter Kingdom: Girl of Fire and Thorns #3 by Rae Carson
Friends, I’m reading an ARC of this right now and so far, it’s a outstanding as books 1 and 2. Elisa is a exceptionally awesome character, and HECTOR. MY GOD. Their chemistry, especially in book 2, is absolutely off the charts. Can’t wait to see how things end! (August 27 from Greenwillow)
Hey Amy!!! I don’t get to stop by here enough.
Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea looks fun and WOW I just love that cover, don’t you?! I can’t wait to read it. And the rest of these – I haven’t even heard of them! I HAVEN’T! Relic looks amazing. Just like something I’d love! And OH MY GOSH everyone and their brother keeps telling me that the Rae Carson books are ASHELEY BOOKS so I’ve bought the first two for my Kindle and I need to go ahead and get started on them, don’t you think?? They DO sound fantastic.
I really like it when you do this feature because you don’t put EVERY book on there that’s coming out and you choose some that I’ve never heard of. I always come here and leave with some new titles. I’m looking for Relic cause I love the way it sounds. Thanks Amy!!! xo
So many good books coming out this month! I read the first Rae Carson book awhile ago, but I just got the second one. I wanted to wait and read it closer to when The Bitter Kingdom was coming out so I’ll be reading it soon!
Oooo, Sleeping Beauty’s Daughters looks really interesting. I’m always up for more retellings!
I’m looking forward to Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea too! I’ve already put it on hold at my library so I can get it as soon as it comes out =)
I’ve finished The Bitter Kingdom and adored it-actually my favorite of the trilogy which is so rare. I usually prefer the first book but I feel like this series just got better!
