Most Anticipated January 2019 Releases

New year, new books to anticipate! We're still doing this on a month-by-month basis, though - there's just no way I could fit all of my most anticipated books for the year into one post! Here are some of the books that release this month that I'm really excited to read.

IN AN ABSENT DREAM by Seanan McGuire (Wayward Children #4) - January 8:
  • new Wayward Children book!
  • a prequel about Lundy!
  • a new world to explore!!
  • I really don't need to know anything else about this, I've gone into the other books with basically no information and it's all worked out so far

OUR YEAR OF MAYBE by Rachel Lynn Solomon - January 15:
  • ok so I've already read this one, but everyone else has to
  • one of my favorite books of 2018
  • anything Rachel Lynn Solomon writes is my new top priority and should be yours, too
THE GILDED WOLVES by Roshani Chokshi (The Gilded Wolves #1) - January 15: 
  • historical fantasy, which I really want to read more of
  • I love books set in the late 1800s
  • I have heard so many great things already, I'm so excited to dive into this world


CIRCLE OF SHADOWS by Evelyn Skye (Circle of Shadows #1) - January 22:
  • I'm not totally sure what this is about but that's okay, all I need to know is Evelyn Skye
  • apparently inspired by feudal Japan? I've been seeing more non-Western-inspired fantasy worlds lately and I'm excited


A THOUSAND SISTERS: THE HEROIC AIRWOMEN OF THE SOVIET UNION IN WORLD WAR II by Elizabeth Wein - January 22:
  • I need to read more nonfiction and this looks like a great place to start
  • I will also read anything about women pilots - it's a pretty niche genre and I have claimed it


KING OF SCARS by Leigh Bardugo (Nikolai Duology #1) - January 29: 
  • do I even need to explain this one
  • I'm so ready to go back into this world
  • maybe I should reread the other Grishaverse books soon

THE DEAD QUEENS CLUB by Hannah Capin - January 29:
  • Mean Girls meets The Tudors
  • that's all I needed to know and I was sold
  • I have an ARC of this one and I'm definitely reading it ASAP



THE LOVE & LIES OF RUKHSANA ALI by Sabina Khan - January 29:
  • queer Muslim rep!
  • I've heard really good things already
  • this just really sounds like something I'll be super into I'm really excited to read it

    I loved Our Year of Maybe too. I was surprised how much I liked it, because it elicited a lot of sad tears from me, but it was just really, really good.

My Top Ten Books of 2016

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly f eature at The Broke and the Bookish . This week's theme: top ten books of 2016. A little less than a year ago, I started my blog by making a post of my top 10 favorite books of 2015 . And now here we are again! I've come so far in blogging , and it 's really amazing to be creating the same kind of post as my fi rst one again - but I'l l save the nostalgia for my blogo versary post later this week. Last year, all of the books on my list were also on my all-time favorites list. I didn't quite read ten all-time favorites this year, so I added a couple of five-star but not-quite-favorite books to this post. I also didn't include any rereads on this list - I reread quite a few favorite books this year, and that wouldn't be fair to the rest! But anyway, here are my ten favorite books that I read in 2016. 10. THUD! by Terry Pratchett (Discworld #34) I don't think it would really be a list of my favorite books from a ye...

Thoughts on Required Reading

This blog post is brought to you by Pride and Prejudice and my AP Lit class. I've been thinking a lot about required reading, probably because I'm having to do so much of it. School comes with many types of required reading. Today, I won't be talking about reading excerpts from textbooks on various subjects, because I think everyone agrees that unless the subject is of particular interest, those readings are boring at best and painful at worst. Instead, I'm talking about being required to read entire works of literature (or, less often, nonfiction). During winter break this year, I was required to read Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice . I thought that this would be one of my easiest assignments ever. I LOVE that book. I read it for fun two summers ago and could barely put it down! I was expecting wonderful days curled up on the couch with a mug of hot chocolate, enjoying the chance to revisit one of my favorite novels while still being productive. Best of all...

10 Books That Will Make You Laugh

I like when books make me feel things, and I know that a lot of readers agree with me. It's why we aggressively recommend the books that have turned us into sobbing messes. However, I think as a whole, we think of feeling things while reading as feeling sad or angry or frustrated. Why don't we put a little more focus on the books that make us happy? I was very glad to see that this week's Top Ten Tuesday (a weekly feature at The Broke and the Bookish ) was top 10 books that will make you laugh. So take a break from the tearjerkers, sit back, and relax. (You'll laugh till you collapse! This is what happens to me now that Animaniacs i s on Netflix. ) 1. The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson (Shades of London #1) - Maureen Johnson is one of the funniest YA authors I know of. I don't think I've ever read a book by her that hasn't made me laugh. This one just happens to be the one I read the most recently. I'll admit that this doesn't reall...
