Top Ten Most Anticipated Releases For the Rest of 2015

This is really interesting, I looked ahead pretty far to what I anticipated reading late last year, and I've stuck with it.  I also need to make sure I'm not going to repeat books that will be on next week's list. Here are my most anticipated/what I'm looking forward to for the rest of the year.

Expected publication: October 6th 2015 by Thomas Dunne Books

 This one is definitely one of my most anticipated, and if I unless I manage to get hold of an ARC, it will end up on my Fall TBR list.  I have a weakness for books set in Paris, and this one has me giddy with anticipation.

Expected publication: September 29th 2015 by Harlequin Teen

This will be a super creepy book perfect for Halloween.  This was my WoW last week, and with good reason. Just read the description, and check out the cover, and there will be chills.

Expected publication: September 15th 2015 by HarperTeen 

I love a good retelling, and I am really looking forward to this one. I don't love the cover, but I do love the font and the title.  This looks great.

Expected publication: September 15th 2015 by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers

I love Sherlock, and retellings of Sherlock stories.  This looks like it will be a great twist.  I have the ARC, I just have to read it now.

Expected publication: July 7th 2015 by Bloomsbury Children's

I love books set in DC, the only problem is that I live here, so any inconsistencies make me snicker and ultimately annoy me.  I really hope this one is done well.  I've been meaning to read a books by this author forever, and I really hope I get to this one.

Expected publication: November 10th 2015 by Razorbill 

 Yes, a new Richelle Mead YA book that does not involve vampires.  I'm so excited.  I loved the VA and Bloodline series, but I can't wait to read what she has in store next.  Plus it's a retelling, which I love.

Expected publication: November 10th 2015 by Delacorte Books for Young Readers

I love contemporaries, and I love books that deal with music and musicians.  I have high hopes that this book will be as good as it looks.

Expected publication: October 13th 2015 by Henry Holt and Co. (BYR)

This one had me eager to read it when it listed Friday Night Lights meets Pride and Prejudice.  FNL is one of my all time favorite TV shows, add in P&P elements, and I must read this.  My only hope is that they get the football part right.  I know a lot about that topic, and if it isn't realistic, I get really annoyed.


"Waiting On" Wednesday (#92) Daughters unto Devils by Amy Lukavics

5/27/2015

“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

This week I'm picking:

Daughters unto Devils by
Expected publication: September 29th 2015 by Harlequin Teen

From Goodreads: 

When sixteen-year-old Amanda Verner's family decides to move from their small mountain cabin to the vast prairie, she hopes it is her chance for a fresh start. She can leave behind the memory of the past winter; of her sickly Ma giving birth to a baby sister who cries endlessly; of the terrifying visions she saw as her sanity began to slip, the victim of cabin fever; and most of all, the memories of the boy she has been secretly meeting with as a distraction from her pain. The boy whose baby she now carries.

When the Verners arrive at their new home, a large cabin abandoned by its previous owners, they discover the inside covered in blood. And as the days pass, it is obvious to Amanda that something isn't right on the prairie. She's heard stories of lands being tainted by evil, of men losing their minds and killing their families, and there is something strange about the doctor and his son who live in the woods on the edge of the prairie. But with the guilt and shame of her sins weighing on her, Amanda can't be sure if the true evil lies in the land, or deep within her soul.


Why I'm Waiting:

AHHH!  I get chills even reading the description, this looks so unbelievably creepy, gross, and weird that I can't even.  And that cover!  My goodness whoever wrote the copy for the description and came up with that cover needs a raise.  At the same time, I can't wait to read it!
