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.

Romancing the Dark in the City of Light by Ann Jacobus

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.

Daughters unto Devils by Amy Lukavics

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.

Ash & Bramble by Sarah Prineas

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.

Lock & Mori (Lock & Mori #1) by Heather W. Petty

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.

The Fixer (The Fixer #1) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

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.

Soundless by Richelle Mead

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.

Trust Me, I'm Trouble (Trust Me #2) by Mary Elizabeth Summer

Expected publication: October 13th 2015 by Delacorte Press 

 I enjoyed the first book in this series, so I'm looking forward to this one.  I have to go back to refresh my memory on what happened in the first book, but this is definitely a sequel that I want to get my hands on. 

Winter (The Lunar Chronicles #4) by Marissa Meyer

Expected publication: November 10th 2015 by Feiwel and Friends

It took me a while to read Cress, but then I gobbled up Fairest.  That means I am very much looking forward to reading the final book in the series.  This really has been a fantastic series, and I can't wait to see what Meyer comes up with next.

For the Record by Charlotte Huang

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.

First & Then by Emma Mills

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.

Ten Books You Recently Added To Your To-Be-Read List

I have been on a roll lately adding new books to my TBR list.  I view a TBR list as being different from my TBR pile.  The pile indicates books that I actually own v. books I want to read, which end up on my list.  Most of the books I've been adding don't get published until 2016, so most don't have covers yet, and the descriptions are very sparse, so that would be a really boring list.  Here are some of the more recent ones though.

 The Accident Season by Moïra Fowley-Doyle

 Expected publication: August 18th 2015 by Kathy Dawson Books

This looks like an intriguing debut that I want to check out if I have time.  I don't know if I've ever read anything like it, even though it says it has shades of We Were Liars.
 

All We Have Is Now by Lisa Schroeder

 Expected publication: July 28th 2015 by Scholastic Inc.

I like Lisa Schroeder.  I haven't read all of her books, but those I have read, I've really enjoyed.  I think this one looks like it will also be very good and memorable.

 Awake by Natasha Preston

 Expected publication: August 4th 2015 by Sourcebooks Fire

This one looks particularly interesting.  A cult, a girl with amnesia, a possible kidnapping.  I am very intrigued. 

 The Dead House by Dawn Kurtagich

 Expected publication: September 15th 2015 by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers

This looks like it will be super creepy and good.  I think this is one that I should be sure to read when I'm around other people.  I think the publishers did a great job of coming up with a blurb about this book, because it makes me want to read it right now.

 Lock & Mori (Lock & Mori #1) by Heather W. Petty

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

This ended up on my list because I was approved for the ARC.  I love the idea of setting the Sherlock Holmes books in high school. 

Hollywood Witch Hunter by Valerie Tejeda

Expected publication: July 20th 2015 by Bloomsbury Spark

This looks like it will be a fun quick read.  I do enjoy a book that doesn't take itself too seriously every once in a while.  Now I could be completely wrong with my impression about this book, but I am intrigued anyway.

 Other Broken Things by Christa Desir

 Expected publication: January 12th 2016 by Simon Pulse

I love this cover and I really hope they don't decide to change it in the next couple of months.  The story itself looks like it may be very uncomfortable, and could be awesome.  But really, that cover.

The Shadow Behind the Stars by Rebecca Hahn

Expected publication: September 1st 2015 by Atheneum Books for Young Readers 

The story of the Fates was always my favorite in mythology.  I am a sucker for books that tell their story.  I can't wait to dig into this one.

Sweet Madness by Trisha Leaver & Lindsay Currie

Expected publication: September 18th 2015 by Merit Press 

A retelling of the Lizzie Borden murders as told from the POV of a maid?  Sign me up!  I hope this book is as good as it looks like it will be.

Zero Day by Jan Gangsei

Expected publication: January 12th 2016 by Disney-Hyperion

I am a sucker for political books.  They are usually a double edge sword for me though.  They have to be really well done because I know a lot about the inner workings (or not) of the government, and the facts better check out, or my attention goes.  Either way, it's one that I will definitely have to read.
