Hi friends! I’m very happy to be writing blog posts again after my small break and holidays and even happier to be back to scream about books to the ones I know will understand my screaming.
It’s been a year, when it comes to new, exciting releases… as always. I feel like, as a book blogger, I’ve become more and more aware of new releases, new book deals and most of it all, I’ve started anticipating more and more books, making my to-be-read shelf on goodreads equally filled with books that have and books that haven’t even been released yet.
It’s both torture and endless excitment to wait for all of these books.
I did my best to narrow this list down to 10 books and, friends, it was SO damn hard. I didn’t realize just how many books I’m anticipating??? As always, I really hope to make you discover new books to add to your already endless TBRs. Fair warning, this has way more YA contemporary books than any book in other genres, because… well I’m sorry you can’t change this marshmallow contemporary lover okay. #oops
You can click on the covers to get to the goodreads page of the book!
? Anticipated YA contemporary books from July to December 2019
Permanent Record, Mary H. K. Choi
Why I’m anticipating it ? Most likely my most anticipated read for this rest of the year, friends. I’ve been screaming about my love for Emergency Contact, the author’s debut, forever now and I adored this book with ALL of my heart. Permanent Record sounds equally as incredible and I just. can’t. wait. to get my hands on a copy of it.
Dear Haiti, Love Alaine, Maika Moulite & Maritza Moulite
Why I’m anticipating it ? Look at that glorious cover??? Okay I’ll stop. Dear Haiti, Love Alaine has been on my radar for a very long time and it seems like such a stunning debut. Co-written by sisters, filled with a mix of media entries and about a main character exploring her family roots…. Honestly this sounds way too good.
When The Stars Lead To You, Ronnie Davis
Why I’m anticipating it ? This book is the kind of book that screams “this is a Marie book” and that’s reason enough. More seriously though, When The Stars Lead To You sounds like the kind of gorgeously heartbreaking contemporary and I’m all here for this.
The Places I’ve Cried in Public, Holly Bourne
Why I’m anticipating it ? I already mentioned this book more than once and I will do it again because… well, I can okay. I’ve been loving everything Holly Bourne writes and this new one sounds stunning, raw and emotional and I just can’t wait.
Our Year in Love and Parties, Karen Hattrup
Why I’m anticipating it ? This is a young adult contemporary where two teens meet over and over again at four different parties and this reminds me of the movie One Day with its concept a little bit and this makes me feel like it will be emotion and swoon and feelings packed all together and hello this is for me.
Color Me In, Natasha Diaz
Why I’m anticipating it ? This debut novel sounds fantastic and I can’t, can’t wait to devour it. It’s a coming of age story about a biracial teen trying to figure out who she is, where she stands in and understanding her own identity and self and it just sounds so poignant and SO good I’m already obsessed with it.
The Library of Lost Things, Laura Taylor Namey
Why I’m anticipating it ? A main character avoiding the world while reading books? Complex mother-daughter relationship? Romance? Having a hard time letting people in? IS THIS BOOK GREAT OR WHAT I’m just so pumped to read it, it sounds like it was made for me.
? Anticipated YA fantasy, science-fiction books from July to December 2019
The Light At The Bottom of The World, London Shah
Why I’m anticipating it ? I’m a teeny bit obsessed by this synopsis and the world the author created and I haven’t even read this yet. To be fair, set something in London and I’ll be happy, but this, this is something else. Underwater world, a badass main character trying to find her missing father?? This sounds amazing.
A Dress for the Wicked, Autumn Krause
Why I’m anticipating it ? I’m obsessed with the cover. Okay. That’s not a good enough reason, but… I love it. This book reminds me a little bit of The Luxe series and I was so obsessed with it back then. It has a design competition, a fictional 19th century Europe and this sounds like the kind of addictive read I can’t wait to read!
A River of Royal Blood, Amanda Joy
Why I’m anticipating it ? Another cover obsession right here. Okay, I’ll stop. Honestly this sounds both so good and so terrifying and I can’t wait to read it. This has sisters at its heart and you know how I live for these things. Two sisters fighting to death, an intriguing, dark and magical, North-African inspired world? I’m so curious about this one.

You got me! I added The Light at the Bottom of the World to my Goodreads. It looks really different and interesting! I hope you had a great break and are ready to read and post! Missed you!
Ahh this makes me so, so happy, it sounds like such a great read <3
Thank you so much, I really did 🙂 thank you!! <3
A River of Royal Blood hasn’t hit my radar before. That looks SOOO amazing and reminds me that I should probably finish Children of Blood and Bone sometime soon ?
Ahh I’m glad if I could make you add a book to your TBR, yay! and I loved Children of Blood and Bone, such a lovely read 🙂
Thank you for your comment!
A River of Royal Blood looks good. My list of anticipated books includes more YA fantasy, but there are a lot of books out this summer and fall.
Right? I can’t wait to read it! And yes there are just SO many books, it’s hard to keep up haha 🙂
Thank you so much!! 🙂
I’m really excited for The Light at the Bottom of the World. It’s such a unique concept!
I agree, it sounds so unique and incredible, I can’t wait! <3
Thank you so much for your sweet comment 🙂
These all look so gooood! I actually just got accepting for an ARC for The Library of Lost Things … SO EXCITED!
Right, I’m so excited for all of these ahh. AHH THIS IS GREAT! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it!! 😀
Thank you so much for your sweet comment, Jenna <3
I can’t wait for The Light At The Bottom of The World as well!
Ahh yay happy to hear it, it sounds so good! 🙂
Thank you for stopping by! <3
When the Stars Lead to You sounds SO GOOD.
RIGHT? I CAN’T WAIT to read it ahh it sounds SO GREAT 😀
The Library of Lost Things sounds like it’s right up my alley! Omg my TBR list is getting so big, I’m going to be buried under it soon lol 🙂 Another book I’m realllyyy looking forward to as well is The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern. I loved The Night Circus so I can’t wait to read this next one!
Ahah you’re not the only one, don’t worry, we’re all going to be crushed by our endless TBRs 😛
AHH that’s such a good choice! I recently read and really liked The Night Circus, I’m so curious about The Starless Sea as well 😀
Thank you so much for your comment <3
I wish Holly Bourne books were available to me, because they all sounds like books I would enjoy. I cannot purchase her ebooks in the US. *sad face* I do have almost all of those contemporaries up there, and I too, am excited about each and every one.
Ahh I really wish they were available for you, too 🙁 hopefully sometime soon they will be! <3
And yay! I'm so glad we have so many in common, I can't wait to hear your thoughts on all of them 🙂
Thank you so much for your comment <3 <3
Ugh, I have such a long TBR by this point it’s hard to choose which ones I’m anticipating the most xD I’d say The Girl The Sea Gave Back, All the Stars and Teeth, Scavenge the Stars, House of Earth and Blood, The Starless Sea, Fireborne, The Never Tilting World, The Beautiful, Ninth House, Serpent & Dove, Rage, Crown of Coral and Pearl and How to Hack a Heartbreak. Phew, that was a long one ^^’
I do have some of these on my list too, and I can’t wait to read them <3 Particularly, A Dress for the Wicked. I also really like the sound of Our Year in Love and Parties and The Places I've Cried in Public.
Thanks so much for sharing, hon! I do find most of these have a "Marie" vibe to them indeed 😉
Ahah I get that feeling, there are just too many books and I wish I could read them all haha 😀
This is such a great list you have here and some awesome looking 2020 reads, too! There are too many books I’m anticipating for 2020 as well, that will be the matter of another blog post later in the year probably hahaha. I can’t WAIT for The Beautiful later this year, it sounds so good 😀
Ahh, thank you, Sophie! I’m so happy you recognize my reading taste here 😀
Hahaha, always! Your taste in books (and everything in general, let’s be honest) is unparalleled 😛
Ahhh Sophie, stop it you’re going to make me cry ahhh. This is so sweet <3 <3
Noooo, all true!! <3 <3
Ahhh I love you ahh <3 <3 <3 <3
Great choices! I’ve read Dear Haiti, Love Alaine. I liked it, but didn’t love it the way I hoped I would. It may have been the arc formatting though. I hope you love all of these! Happy reading!
Oh I’m so sorry to hear that! I’m guessing that this kind of ARC, with mixed media, is a little more complicated to read though than when you read a beautiful finished copy with it all rightly formatted ahah 🙂
Thank you so, so much!! <3
Yes, it didn’t format right. Luckily it doesn’t always happen, but I’ve had a couple so far that were like that.
That’s frustrating, but I’m glad that’s not always the case at least ahah 🙂
Yes. I understand it happens and try my best to read them anyway.
A RIVER OF ROYAL BLOOD LOOKS SO GOOD IM OBSESSED!!!! great list!
RIGHT?? it looks and sounds so good and I just can’t wait to read it 😀
Thank you so, so much for your sweet comment! <3
I love this list so much, Marie!! I definitely need to add a few of these to my TBR (The Library of Lost Things sounds SO good and relatable), but I spot a few of my anticipated books here too! I’m so so excited for A River of Royal Blood — the cover is honestly gorgeous, and the whole dark fantasy magic aspect makes it SO compelling. And I’m really excited for Color Me In as well! The cover design for it is really cute in my opinion, and I think it’s going to be a really well-written and important book. ?
Ahh thnak you, May, I’m so happy you like it <3 <3
I can't WAIT to read A River of Royal Blood, I'm somehow so intrigued by this book and kind of obsessed with that cover. And yes, Color Me In sounds like the kind of book that I would adore, too <3
Thank you!! <3 <3
Why… I mean WHY would you have such a splendid post on all the new YA releases this year? As I wasn’t suffering enough! Now, not only am I anticipating a very long list of books including ‘Color Me In’ and ‘Permanent Record’, but also the entirely new slew of books that you have now added. I honestly don’t know whether I should thank you. I see many, MANY sleepless nights in the near future!
Really loved this post. Glad I came across it!
Ahhh I’m so sorry ? there are just way too many books to read, I’m right here with you on that, suffering with you ?
Thank you so, so much for your sweet words, so happy you liked it and… I apologize for your TBR ??
<3
Another post of yours that I’m saving! Some of these books look absolutely up my street! You always write the best lists! xo
Awww this makes me so happy, thank you ahh!! ? so happy you enjoyed it <3 <3
A Dress for the Wicked sounds like it will be so much fun!
Agree, I can’t wait to read it 😀
Great looking list!
Thank you so much! 🙂
Aaah, I love this post, Marie! <3 I have heard of approximately zero books on this list until now, so you introduced me to lots of books that I'm now anticipating and are on my TBR because chances are, if it seems like a Marie Book it will also be something I would like.?Thank you for compiling this phenomenal list!
Oh thank you so, so much Olivia, this makes me so happy!!! <3 <3 I hope there are books you will love there <3
Our year in love and parties looks quite good! Also I’ve been dying to get my hands on A Dress for the Wicked THAT COVER *swoon* *swoon* Great list Marie 🙂
Ahh thank you so much Jamie 🙂
I’m actually pretty calm about end of the year releases, besides for Wayward Son and Call Down the Hawk, of course! But there are 2 on your list that I’m excited about! I have an ARC of When the Stars Lead to You and I can’t wait to read it, especially since it has such a beautiful cover! And the second I saw The Library of Lost Things on NetGalley I got super excited about to read it, and now I can’t wait until it comes out! I also can’t wait for you to read Permanent Record, since I know how excited you are for it! Thankfully the wait will only get shorter!
AHHH, this is so exciting! I can’t wait to hear what you think of When The Stars Lead To You it sounds like such an incredible read, I can’t wait to read it <3 Thank you so, so much for your sweet comment, Malka <3 <3
I really want to read Permanent Record, and Library of Lost Things sounds good too. There are so so many books coming out this year still that I want to read.
-Lauren
http://www.shootingstarsmag.net
Right? so many books, so little time haha 🙂 Thank you so much Lauren! <3
okay, but what is it about mary h.k. choi that every single one of her books just have the most STUNNING covers?wow! her publishing company definitely knows that they’re doing, hahah. permanent record is beautiful and i’d anticipate it for that cover solely, lol.
i didn’t know about most of these releases, which isn’t surprising, since i don’t know what’s going on most of the time. but all of these YA contemporaries with beautiful covers are making me hyped!
i definitely think the two books i’m most excited about are wayward son (along with the rest of the internet) and jackpot, by nic stone, since she’s one of my favorite authors and it comes out the week after my birthday, so i already know what to ask for as a birthday gift this year, hahah.
RIGHT? All of her book covers are breathtaking, I am always so in love with them ahhh. <3
I'm so happy if I could make you discover some new books and hopefully add them on your radar just as well 🙂
And ahh, Jackpot sounds like such a good read, I hope you will love it and YAY for a great birthday gift 😀
Thank you so, so much for your sweet comment Lais <3
i cant wait for the light at the bottom of the world, it sounds so amazing!
It really does ahh, so happy you’re excited about it as well 😀
That’s a whole lot of books :p I try not to keep a list, but I can’t wait for the release of Blood Song by Johana Gustawsson, and Louise Jensen’s The Family! xx
Ahah there are too many books 😛 yay! I hope you’ll love them 😀
Lovely list, Marie! I’m excited for Permanent Record as well, since I really enjoyed Choi’s prose and character developments in Emergency Contact! <3 The cover for A Dress for the Wicked certainly is stunning, so I can't blame you for adding the book to your tbr because of it! The Library of Lost Things sounds incredible! I cannot wait to get my hands on that one! <3
Ahh thank you so much Kelly! I’m so happy you’re excited about Permanent Record as well, it sounds so, so good, I can’t wait 😀
I’m so thankful you put together this post, because I’ve been so behind on new releases – I only have known of A River of Royal Blood, and I’ve been eagerly waiting for it – so this is definitely helpful for me. Fantastic post! 🙂
Ahh this makes me so, so happy, thank YOU for leaving such a sweet comment <3 <3 I hope you'll love the ones you'll read 😀
I don’t have any of these on my TBR, but When The Stars Lead To You by Ronnie Davis looks like a cute read!
It really sounds like a great read, I agree 😀
Thank you so much for your comment Crystal 😀
Ahh… that gif was perfect for anticipated releases– definitely suitable ?
I need to read emergency contact but I’m still excited for permeant record with its equally gorgeous cover.
Dear Haiti, Love Alaine sounds great– I love that it is written by 2 sisters!!
I hadn’t heard of a river of royal blood but it sounds amazing and the cover is stunning!! Definitely going on my TBR!!
Some of my anticipated reads are Crier’s War and The Infinite Noise!! I need them now!! ?
Great list!! ?
Ahah glad you like it, it perfectly represents me, waiting for all the books ??
Ahh I’m so happy I could make you add some books to your TBR, I hope you will love them when they are released! I’ve heard a lot about Crier’s War, too, I’m curious about that one 🙂
Thank you so, so much Sophie <3
A lot of these books weren’t on my radar, so thanks for letting me know about them!!! ? Color Me In and A Dress For the Wicked look especially awesome ?
Ahh I’m so glad I could add some books on your TBR, yay 😀
Thank you so much, Margaret! <3
Light at the bottom of the world! I’m so stoked for that book as well 🙂 we really don’t see any YA set underwater. Great list Marie
Agree, and we need more of these! That one has such an unique premise, I can’t wait to read it 🙂
Thank you so much <3
I cannot believe that we’re already halfway through the year ? A River of Royal Blood is definitely on my TBR as well, because it sounds so good! I hope that this will finally give me the deadly sister competition I have been craving ever since another book didn’t quite fulfill the expectations ? The Library of Lost Things sounds fantastic, I’ll have to add it to my TBR! ❤
Right?? I can’t believe it either, the year flies by!
Ohh now I’m curious about that other book that didn’t live up to your expectations…. I hope that one will, it sounds amazing 😀
Thank you so much <3
All of these are so intriguing!
Are there any that you are looking forward to more than the others?
-Emma 🙂
Oh what a hard question to answer haha, I am really really impatient to read all of these! I think I’m probably the most hyped for Permanent Record, but I just want them ALL hahaha 😀
Thank you so much for stopping by, Emma! 🙂
MARIE. This is the post I’ve been looking for since I got back to blogging! I have zero knowledge of upcoming releases so THANK YOU FOR THIS. ? A River of Royal Blood, in particular, looks like MY kind of read. *runs off to Goodreads to add it* Gah, I have stars in my eyes for this already! Thanks so much for sharing. ??
❤ Aimee @ Aimee, Always
AIMEE! It is so good to see you back to blogging, I missed you so much and I hope you’ve been well <3 <3
I'm so, so happy this list could help and I hope you'll love A River of Royal Blood 😀
Thank you so, so much for your sweet comment <3
Ah, Marie, all of these books look so good my excitement levels are through the roof!! Permanent Record’s premise sounds so interesting, and I’ve wanted to try a work from the author for a while now! the same goes with The Light at the Bottom of the World, like the idea of a submerged London is making me so excited. and A River of Royal Blood sounds EPIC and I sadly haven’t read a lot of African-inspired fantasy, but I really hope to change that!
AHH CAITLIN READ EMERGENCY CONTACT AHHH.
Sorry. I screamed a little bit right here, let me calm down for a second haha. I loved Emergency Contact so, so much and I am so hyped and eager to read the author’s second book, I hope you’ll give her work a try 😀
I hope we’ll both love The Light and A River of Royal Blood, both sound so good and unique and I just can’t wait 😀
Thank you so, so much for your sweet comment <3 <3
It’s hard to believe that we are already halfway through this year! There are lots of books that I can’t wait to read in the last half, too. I hope that we both enjoy Permanent Record, The author’s first book was incredible and I have high hopes for it. Happy reading, Marie! 🙂
I can hardly believe it either haha 🙂 Hope we will both love Permanent Record, I am so, so impatient to read it 😀
Thank you so much, happy reading to you too!!
Okay, so I’ve been living under a rock and I did not know Mary H. K. Choi had another book coming out! I loved Emergency Contact, so this book just rocketed to the top of my tbr. Thanks for sharing Marie!
Ahh I’m so happy to hear that, I hope we will both love it 😀
Thank you so much Madeline <3 <3
Holly Bourne is a YA authour I’ve been meaning to read for awhile now! I need to get more into YA, so I’m gonna add some of these to my TBR!!
twinklexthoughts.blogspot.com
Ahh you should give her stories a try, she is a fantastic writer! <3
Thank you so much for your comment! 😀
This was an amazing post, thank you so much for sharing it! I haven’t heard of many of these, but I think I need to add When The Stars Lead To You and The Places I Have Cried in Public to my TBR ASAP. When The Stars Lead To You seems like the type of contemporary that I will love that will also break me into pieces and the title of The Places I Have Cried in Public is all too relatable, I think I have to read it.
Oh thank you so much, I’m so, so happy you enjoyed it! <3 I hope you'll love these two books, they both sound like amazing, emotional contemporaries and I am always here for these kind of reads 😀
Woah, this is so helpful! Thank you!
-Emma 🙂
Ahh you’re welcome Emma, so happy you liked it 🙂
I am DESPERATELY waiting for Permanent Record. I loved Emergency Contact so much, and it was such an unexpected love!! Can’t wait to see what else Choi has for us!!
AHH SAME here I am way too excited about this book, I hope we will both love it 😀
Great list! I’m excited for Queen Of Nothing By Holly Black, Darkdawn By Jay Kristoff, Beautiful by Renee Ahdieh, Rage By Cora Carmack and Serpen & Dove By Shelby Mahurin.
Ahh thank you so much! I’m also really excited about The Beautiful, it sounds really, really good 😀
Ahh these all look so good and I’m totally going to request them from my library! I especially love the idea of co-writing a book with my sister, I feel like that would be EXCELLENT and make the book so much better (surely you and Nyx write a novel together??). Color Me In and Places I’ve Cried In Public both look really good too. <3 Thank you for sharing!
Ahhh yes, I’m right here with you on that! and I don’t know about co-writing, but my sister definitely is helping me with the writing idea I’m currently having and it’s exicting 😀
Thank you so much Shar! <3
I literally want to read allllll of these books so badly!!! Lovely post Hun x
Grace Louise || http://www.gracelouiseofficial.blogspot.co.uk/
Ahh thank you so much! 🙂
Girl, you’ll NEVER see me complaining about YA contemporary recommendations ? My started crying as soon as I clicked on this post! ?
Ahhh well I certainly hope you won’t ever as long as we’re talking, I always have ALL the contemporary recommendations for you if you ever need them, upcoming releases or old ones haha, I love contemporary 😀
I’m glad I could make your TBR grow 😀
I always love fancy dresses on covers. I don’t care what anyone says!
Oh same here, I love all the fancy dresses ahah 🙂
I’m totally anticipating The Light At The Bottom of The World too. I keep hoping to snag an ARC TBH. It sounds super intriguing and I can’t help but fangirl over books set in London. I was also looking at The Library of Lost Things! I admit an bookworm would I think. I’m excited about the complex mom relationship. ❤️ A great list Marie!!
Ahh I get that, I really can’t wait to read it either, it sounds SO good and yes, a book set in London, I’m all here for that as well always <3
Thank you so, so much Dani <3
I have a son adopted from Haiti, So Dear Haiti has definitely been on my radar!
Ahh, I hope you can read it as soon as possible and that you will love it, Nicole. It sounds SO good! <3
Some of these books are new to me. When The Stars Lead To You, The Places I’ve Cried in Public, and The Light At The Bottom of The World look especially interesting to me.
Ahh I’m glad I could make you discover some new books! 😀
I never heard of these books before but they sound really nice. I just found your blog and i would say, you´re really good.
I think I will work this list down in 2019.
Ahh thank you, you’re so sweet! I hope you’ll love these books 😀
ooh YES I am excited for these! I actually hadn’t heard of a few so off to Goodreads I go…like I have no self-control. I just wanna add and read everything. ?I’m dying for Queen of Nothing and Call Down the Hawk, obviously, haha. But also Ziggy Stardust and Me and Jade War!
Ohh I so get that, I have no self control when it comes to adding books to my TBR as well and… it’s slowly becoming an issue ??
AH YES Call Down The Hawk!!! Thank you for reminding me of it, I NEED IT!
Thank you so much, Cait <3
Ohhhh there’s so many amazing books coming out I swear my bank account is going to be so broken by the end of the year!! x
Grace Louise || http://www.gracelouiseofficial.blogspot.co.uk/
Ahah I get that, it will be soooo hard to resist haha 🙂
Thank you for your sweet comment! <3
I actually have not heard of any of these books… But now I have. Thansk!
Happy I could make you discover some new books 😀
Wow I didn’t have any of these on my list, and some are new to me. I am particularly interested in The Library of Lost Things now… I mean duh 🙂
I am anticipating Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, The Dragon Republic (The Poppy War #2) by R.F. Kuang, House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig, The Testaments (The Handmaid’s Tale #2) by Margaret Atwood, The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow, Ninth House (Alex Stern #1) by Leigh Bardugo, The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern, and The Guinevere Deception (Camelot Rising #1) by Kiersten White.
Oh yay! I’m so happy I could make your TBR grow 😀
I’m very curious about The Ten Thousand Doors of January and The Starless Sea as well, both sound so good! 😀
Thank you, Amanda <3
I haven’t heard any of these and honestly, I thought I’d find one in particular on here since I’m anticipating it as well and hope I hear good things from other readers when it comes out: Leigh Bardugo’s Ninth House!!! 😮 😮 Awesome list nonetheless, Marie! 😀
I knooow I’m such a disappointment for NOT mentioning Ninth House haha. It’s probably the most hyped book for this end of the year and… well, if I’m curious about it, it’s not a most anticipated of mine haha 🙂
Thank you so much!! 😀
I knooow I’m such a disappointment for NOT mentioning Ninth House haha. It’s probably the most hyped book for this end of the year and… well, if I’m curious about it, it’s not a most anticipated of mine haha 🙂
Thank you so much!! 😀
Gosh, there are so many good books being released this year! I added three of the YA ones to my Goodreads TBR. 🙂 Thank you, as always, for helping me add to it!
Right? I’m so happy I could make your TBR grow 😀
a huge YES to Permanent Record! I know for a fact that I’m going LOVE this book just after reading the excerpt but omg, the WAIT is killing me ?
thank you for putting The Library Of Lost Things on my radar b/c woohoo it sounds like exactly something I’d be interested in
I’ve never read Holly Bourne tho, you got ant recs for me? (I’m guessing you’re a fan ?)
ahh I’m so happy I could make you add this book to your TBR, it sounds so great!!
I am a Holly Bourne fan indeed, my favorite so far has been Am I Normal Yet 😀
Awesome list! I am very curious about a dress for the wicked 🙂
Thank you so much! I hope you’ll give it a try and will love it 🙂
I can totally relate to the struggle of picking just a few books on this type of list. I’ve actually cheated on my September & October lists and decided to pick ten as there are just so many that I’m desperate to read ? plus I already know that sticking to 25 for a 2020 list will be challenging.
I’ve got to agree with you about the cover for A Dress For The Wicked, it’s gorgeous ? I’ve also really got to start reading more contemporary YA. I’m quite intrigued by the ones here though and love reading your lists (:
I will never, EVER be able to stick to 25 for the next year, my TBR is already screaming with all the incredible books. We just need way more time (and money) to read them all ?
AHHH this makes me SO happy, please feel free to come to me if you ever need contemporary recommendations, it’s my favorite genre EVER. <3
Omg that’s so, so true. I have way too many on mine too. I’d never be able to pick just 25 that I could read. Picking my absolute top 25 is hard enough (and that’s without adding in sequels :L). Still I think it’ll be a fun list to do. Although 25 is hardly anything over a year really; it’s basically two books a month.
Yay that’s wonderful 😀 I already have a few recommendations from your post but I’m always happy to hear of more. If there are any you think that I should particularly read just let me know.
OH YES sequels, we should not include sequels anyway, our lists are ten times bigger with these haha.
Oh god I might have too many recommendations haha. I adore all of Alice Oseman, Laura Silverman, Morgan Matson’s books, Sarah Ockler is fantastic as well, Nothing Left To Burn by Heather Ezell is THE BOOK I adore it, I also love Sara Barnard’s books, I’ll Meet You There by Heather Demetrios is heartbreakingly beautiful…. I should stop for now hahaha.
Yes that’s true ?
You can never have too many recommendations ? thank you (: I actually have two Morgan Matson books (Since You’ve Been Gone and Save The Date) on my Kindle, I just need to get on and read them. I have a few by most of the other authors on my TBR but I’m not sure about two of them so I’ll look them up (: I also have Bad Romance by Heather Demetrios on my list but not I’ll meet you there so I’ll look that up as well. Thank you so much for the recommendations.
You’re so, so welcome, always happy to help if you need more recommendations! I hope you’ll love these 😀
