Top Ten 2015 Reads I Can’t Wait For
Friends, I had a very hard time stopping myself from letting this list get a little out of hand. I can’t lie. Ah, well. Not a bad thing, right? That just means that 2015 is going to be LEGIT for books. CANNOT WAIT. In no particular order except the one I wrote them down in on my little note today at work!
A Court of Thorns and Roses: A Court of Thorns and Roses #1 | Sarah J. Maas
May 5, 2015 • Bloomsbury Children’s
DUH. I about died when I saw these ARCs floating around, and the buzz I’m hearing from those lucky people who’ve read it already is only making me die more. Kind of need this one nowish.
I Was Here | Gayle Forman
January 27, 2015 • Viking Juvenile
I will perpetually look forward to Gayle Forman’s books. They’re contemps with romance and intense emotions and deep insights into basically life.
Six of Crows: The Dregs #1 | Leigh Bardugo
October 8, 2015 • Henry Holt & Co.
More books in the Grisha world? Well, don’t mind if I do. Also, the blurb says that this is Ocean’s 11 meets Game of Thrones. The Game of Thrones comparisons with every fantasy rarely seem to live up to that specific hype, but that’s not bad. I like books to be their own thing! That being said, YES TO THOSE TWO THINGS.
The Penderwicks in Spring: Penderwicks #4 | Jeanne Birdsall
March 24, 2015 • Knopf Books for Young Readers
I LOVE THE PENDERWICKS. It takes Jeanne Birdsall a few years to write each one, which makes each new release that much more of a gift. Plus, this one takes place five years in the future and is told from Batty’s point of view. BATTY. ADORBS. Also, I believe there is a war veteran in it. STAHP.
The Sword of Summer: Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard #1 | Rick Riordan
October 6, 2015 • Disney Hyperion
Listen. All you have to say to me is “Rick Riordan” and “Asgard” and someone is going to have to resuscitate me. I am salivating for this.
Shadow Scale: Seraphina #2 | Rachel Hartman
March 10, 2015 • Random House Children’s
WORD I’ve been waiting for this one for so long! I’m going to need to reread SERAPHINA, but that’s no chore. I’m so excited to see what’s up with Seraphina and the dragons!
Fairest: The Lunar Chronicles #3.5 | Marissa Meyer
January 27, 2015 • Feiwel & Friends
Another DUH. It’s really hard–no, probably impossible–to like Queen Levana, but I’ll give her a chance.
Crimson Bound | Rosamund Hodge
May 5, 2015 • Balzer + Bray
Whoa, whoa, Little Red Riding Hood? Well, I just can’t say no to that ever. I really enjoyed CRUEL BEAUTY, so I’m excited to see what Rosamund Hodge has in store in this one.
The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate: Calpurnia Tate #2 | Jacqueline Kelley
July 7, 2015 • Henry Holt & Co.
OMG GUYSSSSS. I know I’ve mentioned before my love for Calpurnia Tate. I’ve been wishing and hoping that Jacqueline Kelley was going to write another book, and lo! IT’S HAPPENING! *happy dances*
The Young Elites #2 | Marie Lu
Pub date TBA • Putnam
I promise I’m going to post my review of THE YOUNG ELITES soon. Preview: I really, really enjoyed it and am full of THOUGHTS about what might be in store. It goes without saying that I’ll read whatever Marie Lu writes, and this is no exception.
Throne of Glass #4 | Sarah J. Maas
September 10, 2015 • Bloomsbury Children’s
That’s the UK pub date according to Goodreads, so let’s hope that the US pub date is earlier because I can’t even fathom the depth of awesomeness that is in store in this series. It’s no joke that Sarah J. Maas is on this list twice: She’s fabulous. I want all of her words.
A court of thorns and roses, Throne of glass #4, Crimson bound, Fairest & Six of crows: YES PLEASE. These are highly anticipated books. I love TOG, so I’m super excited to see she is writing a retelling fro my favorite fairytale. Cruel beauty was one of the best books I’ve read in 2014, so I hope Crimson bound is going to be as good – or perhaps even better (will be hard) Fairest (and Winter) is going to be so good 😀 I just know it.
I’m a huge Calpurnia Tate fan, too! I didn’t know that book was coming out this coming year. I’m a little nervous though, because I loved the first book so much. How can this one live up to the first one. But still, I want to read it, because Callie!
I’m intrigued by The Sword of Summer, because I also love Rick Riordan, but I am a little nervous too because no Percy.
Fairest & Crimson Bound made my list as well. I’m a little nervous for Fairest honestly, but I trust Marissa Meyers to tell a good story! I didn’t put the sequels for The Young Elites or Throne of Glass on my list but of course I am highly anticipating those!
Six of Crows needs to be here now!! Cannot wait.
Both of Sarah J Maas’s books on my list as well! Actually our lists overlap a lot (TTT post.). I just read Seraphina for the first time this summer, so I know my wait hasn’t been as long as it could have been, but I am SO DANG EXCITED for Shadow Scale!
Ahhh! I love your list. I, too, am incredibly excited for Throne of Glass #4. Cruel Beauty is on my TBR shelf, so maybe I should take a gander sooner rather than later!
It makes total and complete sense that Sarah J. Maas would appear on your list twice, because she’s just that freaking amazing. ACOTAR was brilliant, and I can’t wait for you to read it! And I too am totally anticipating TOG#4, because we all need more Celaena Sardothien in our lives.
Other books I’m excited for that are on your list: I Was Here, Fairest, Shadow Scale & The Sword of Summer. Seriously, 2015 is going to be yet another great year for books!
