“The idea of waiting for something makes it more exciting” (Andy Warhol)

It's been awhile since I did a post about upcoming books and since there are so many amazing reads on the near (and far) horizon, it felt like time!  Here's some books to get excited about in 2013 / 2014!

October 2013

by Gayle Forman

Just One Day is one of my favourite books from this year! It is such a beautiful book :)  So excited to read this second installment.

by Veronica Roth

The book that all teen dystopian fiction fans have been waiting for!  Only a month away!

December 2013

by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner

This has been getting amazing amazing reviews for months now.  Not only does it take place in space on a luxury spaceliner, but have you seen this cover?? Gorgeous.

March 2014

by Mur Lafferty

Have you discovered the wondrous Mur Lafferty yet? If not then RUN, don't walk, to your nearest bookstore and pick up her excellent novel The Shambling Guide to New York City.  You can thank me later.

by Diana Gabaldon

When they bumped this publication date back to March (it was originally scheduled for late 2013), I'm sure I was not alone in my infinite sadness.  But March is just around the corner and now I have lots of time to reread all the Outlander novels in order to get uber pumped up for this book.

April 2014

by  Moira Young

I loved the first book in this wild west dystopian series (Blood Red Road)  and felt that the sequel fell short of my expectations (Rebel Hearts).  I'm really interested to see how this trilogy wraps up!

by Rachel Hawkins

All I know is that I've loved everything this lady has written and therefore MUST read her newest novel.  That is all.

by Libba Bray

Libba Bray is awesome in all that she does so it was no surprise that The Diviners was wonderful.  If you like 1920's New York paranormal mysteries then this is the series for you! 

by Patrick Ness

I have had this described to me as 2014's The Night Circus.  As one who enjoyed The Night Circus, I am intrigued.  Plus it's by Patrick Ness which means it will probably be wonderful.

by Laini Taylor

The final installment in Taylors Daughter of Smoke & Bone series, this promises to be a good one!  And again, beautiful cover alert!

May 2014

by Stephanie Perkins

Stephanie Perkins is aces when it comes to writing contemporary teen fiction.  Anna and the French Kiss made me yearn for Paris, while Lola and the Boy Next Door drew the reader to San Francisco.  Both are wonderful stories of first love and I can't wait to read Perkins latest.


June 2014

by Leigh Bardugo

This series got better and better as it progressed and is probably my favourite teen series out there right now.  Book 1 is Shadow and Bone, Book 2 is Seige and Storm; these are must reads for YA fans!  I'm so excited for this book! :)

Unknown Month 2014

by Deborah Harkness

No exact date yet but still worth letting the masses know that it's coming! Who's not excited for this one?!  Harkness has woven a wonderful story of time travel and love and vampires and witches and gosh darned I want to know how it ends!

by Maureen Johnson

Maureen Johnson's Shades of London series has been one of my most triumphant finds this year!  I devoured the first two books (The Name of the Star and The Madness Underneath) and am now eagerly, and slightly impatiently, awaiting the final book.  So many cliffhangers! I need to know things!
