GUYSSSSS LOOK AT ALL THESE AWESOME BOOKSSSS!!! October is going to be great. Great for the reader in me, but bad for my wallet. I’ve preordered LITERALLY all of these books.
Stray: Four Sisters #1 by Elissa Sussman {Goodreads}
There is not really anything at all about STRAY that doesn’t sound amazing. The combination of the vaguely creepy looking cover with the story of fairy godmothers gets me all excited. Also, DEBUT! (Greenwillow)
Snow Like Ashes: Snow Like Ashes #1 by Sara Raasch {Goodreads}
Another debut! HUZZAH! Fantasies are always going to make my radar, especially when they sound like SNOW LIKE ASHES: a kingdom of winter that has lost its magic (which reminds me of Game of Thrones just a little bit but that’s never bad to me), and a refugee girl who can save everything she knows. STAHHP! (Balzer + Bray)
Every Breath: Every #1 by Ellie Marney {Goodreads}
I CANNOT with this Aussie contemporary retelling of Sherlock Holmes. I have not heard anything bad about this series from people whose opinions never steer me wrong. (Tundra Books)
Rowdy: Marked Men #5 by Jay Crownover {Goodreads}
Ok, so Rowdy…first of all, let’s just be superficial for a sec: The hottest cover model in this series is Nash. I’ve literally tried to google who he is. But character-wise, Rowdy has always been so charming and unique. It’s amazing how quickly and permanently Jay Crownover has lept onto my must-read author list. I know she’ll do Rowdy proud (and smokin’ hot). (William Morrow)
Blue Lily, Lily Blue: The Raven Cycle #3 by Maggie Stiefvater {Goodreads}
OMG so I just finished an audio reread of THE DREAM THIEVES and I am READY for this book. The cover is gorgeous, and the story is no doubt full of the slow unfolding of the search for the ancient Welsh king, Glendower, as well a the delish slow burn romance between Gansey and Blue. One of my most anticipated books of the year. (Scholastic)
The Slow Regard of Silent Things: Tales From Temerant #1 by Patrick Rothfuss {Goodreads}
I don’t make any secrets about my undying, for always love for Patrick Rothfuss. No, this isn’t the third book in the Kingkiller Chronicle, but it IS about one of my favorite secondary characters, Auri. Also, Patrick Rothfuss himself is narrating the audiobook! WORD! (DAW)
What books are you looking forward to this month?
I CAN’T FREAKING WAIT for new Rothfuss. Like, it may be the one thing I’m more excited for than Blue Lily, Lily Blue.
All of these look great! I am in a super October-y reading mood, so much so it inspired me to post every day this month. Entirely creepy-related book stuff. So I’m on the lookout for books to add to my list! 🙂
I’ve just read Snow Likes Ashes, and it was so darn good! I really enjoyed it, and can’t wait to continue on that series. Plus, the other books you’ve included? They sound pretty damn great too 🙂
