I
sort of forgot that I used to do the T5W posts, so I figured I would
hop back in now with the 19th and work my way forward from there.
Let's see what we have for this week. It's the top five books we are
the most excited for in 2019. I don't normally do the new releases
unless they're for someone else. The most recent “new” release I
bought was a book for my mother for Christmas because it is by her
favorite author and it came out in October. Does that count?
Let's
see what I can come up with for the books I am excited for in 2019!!
1.
The Priory of the Orange Tree by
Samantha Shannon –
I absolutely loved the Mime Order series (I don't remember the series
name and kind of think it may have been Mime Order) and when my
friend went off to Book Con or whatever she did, she got the arc or
it and showed me. I was very excited to see that there was a new
Samantha Shannon book coming out. I really really enjoyed the
previous books and I am looking forward to finding a copy of this to
read when it comes out next year.
2.
Doors of Stone by
Patrick Rothfuss –
I know it's a stretch that we will even get it, but it's on the list
of 2019 releases. I'm not even really excited for myself to get my
hands on this, I'm excited for a friend who doesn't read much and
actually read both of the previous books in the series. If Doors
of Stone actually
does come out in 2019 like it says it will, I'll probably get it for
my bestie, KS, as a just because present.
3.
Bone Season #4 by Samantha
Shannon –
As yet unnamed (and it turns out the series is called Bone Season!),
this book is definitely on my list. I think I may even get myself the
three preceding books, Bone
Season,
Mime Order,
and The Song
Rising
before this one comes out and re-read them. I read them before and I
love them.
4.
A Question of Holmes by
Brittany Cavallaro –
I love Sherlock Holmes. I loved A
Study in Charlotte. I
own (but haven't read) The
Last of August
and A Case for
Jamie,
but that won't stop me from buying the fourth Charlotte Holmes book.
I love the way the characters interact with each other. Even though
they didn't want anything to do with each other or their shared
family history, they still end up getting along and being friends.
It's an interesting dynamic that I am excited to read more of
(eventually….)
5.
Gumiho by
Kat Cho –
I can explain! I know this one is super random. Everything else on
this list are books by authors I've already read
or have books by them,
and then this one. A dark horse coming up to end the list. I have
been a huge fan of a lot of Asian or Asian inspired books. My friends
are all into Korea and Korean things. So this book on the list of
books coming out next year has definitely flagged my attention. I
roleplay as kitsune a lot in tabletop games, I roleplay in chat form
as people interacting with nine-tailed foxes all the time, and in
general I love this kind of thing, so this book seems perfectly up my
alley for books to read.
