BLOGMAS #15: Books I'm Looking Forward To In 2019

After reviewing my favourite and my least favourite books of 2018, it's time to look forward to what's to come!

Here are the books I'm excited to get my hands on in 2019:

'Children of Virtue and Vengeance' by Tomi Adeyemi

If you have read my favourite books of 2018 post, this will come as no surprise to you.

'Children of Blood and Bone' was my absolute favourite book of this year, so of course I can't wait to read the next in the trilogy! This series is the perfect mix of magic, fantasy and adventure and I love it so, so much.

It comes out in March 2019, so I don't have that long to wait!









'Speeches of Note' by Shaun Usher

I wrote a Blogmas post about my favourite book I received as a Christmas present, which was 'Letters of Note' by Shaun Usher. So, when I heard there was another in the series, I couldn't wait to read it!

I think this one is already out, so I will get it when I go back home after my year abroad.

I also LOVE this cover.








'Year One' by Nora Roberts

Here is another one that is already published but I haven't had the chance to get round to.

This series seems like one I would really enjoy. I don't know much about it other than the Goodreads description, but I can't wait to read it!













'The Book of M' by Peng Shepherd

I think I found out about this one through a Waterstones newsletter about fantasy. I read the first line of description and knew I had to read it!

Missing shadows is something I haven't read about before, so I'm sure I will really enjoy it.











'The Priory of the Orange Tree' by Samantha Shannon

I saw a lot of buzz about this on Twitter, so I looked it up on Goodreads and fell in love with the cover as soon as I saw it! I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover but... come on, how can you not ??!?

I know it's over 800 pages, which will make it the longest book I ever read (if I do read it), so that's slightly daunting. But the plot sounds really interesting, so I'm willing to put the effort in for this one!

I think it comes out in February, so I'll definitely be buying this one!

What are you looking forward to reading in 2019?

5 Reasons Why I Love The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

Image
Title: The Night Circus Author: Erin Morgenstern My overall rating: 5/5 Get it here from Amazon I have never fallen as in love with a book as I have  The Night Circus . For that reason, I have chosen to gush about it in this blog post rather than writing my usual type of review. I invite all reveurs to join me. 1. THE WRITING Erin Morgenstern has said that her novels are 'fairy tales in one way or another' and she is absolutely right . From the moment I started reading The Night Circus  I was mesmerised by the writing.  'The rain increases and umbrellas sprout like mushrooms amongst the graves' There's something about the writing that is so poetic and beautiful . Although there has been a fair amount of criticism of The Night Circus  saying that it's very slow-moving, I personally never noticed as the writing is interesting enough on its own to grab and maintain my attention. 'October slips into November, a change that goes larg

REVIEW: Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

Image
I started reading Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children towards the beginning of June and expected it to be a nice, easy read for summer. I knew it was aimed at readers a bit younger than me but in my experience if the plot line is interesting then the style of writing shouldn't get in the way. I must say, I did really like the concept of the plot. The whole idea of children with unique abilities, hollowgasts, Ymbrynes (I hope I never have to say that word out loud for fear of embarrassment) and wights is something I haven't come across before. Yes, there are many stories of humans with supernatural powers but Riggs develops this idea in such a way that feels brand new. (Here is where I admit I have not read any Harry Potter books, which is probably why I feel this way). I was also really intrigued by the network of time loops that operated throughout the world and were dotted around in different points in time. I found it really interesting when it was expl

BLOGMAS #5: Favourite Book I've Received as a Christmas Present

Image
Title: Letters of Note Author: Shaun Usher I have asked for many books for Christmas over the years but the one that always stands out in my memory is 'Letters of Note' by Shaun Usher. Plus, the story behind it is quite cute, if I say so myself... (Unfortunately this photo isn't mine - it's from the Letters of Note website . I'm currently living away from home in Switzerland so I am sadly without my copy of the book. I'm sure it's sitting happily on my bookshelf above my bed as we speak.) Back in my sixth form days, I remember making the trip to Waterstones everyday on my way home after school. I mainly went just to escape the wet and cold of the December weather, but always ended up browsing through the young adult and fantasy sections.  I remember one day, Waterstones had a display table dedicated to 'Letters of Note'. It was this ginormous hardback that took up most of the table, with beautiful gold foil on the front cover. Up unt
