Most Anticipated Releases of 2015!


Today I wanted to show you the books I'm most looking forward to. If want more information about what the book is about,  you can click the the link and it'll take you to the books' Goodreads page.

1. Beautiful Redemption( Maddox Brothers #2) by Jamie Mcguire releases on the 27th of January


If you've read Beautiful Disaster and/or Beautiful Oblivion series you'll have an idea about what this book is about. If I say anything it'll probably spoil stuff so I'll just say that this is the second book in a companion series called The Maddox Brothers .This one is about Thomas. It's a new adult romance so there will be mature scenes. So if you like bad boys/alpha males, you'll probably really enjoy this one. Recommended reading order:

2. Red Queen (Red Queen Trilogy #1) by Victoria Aveyard and it releases on the 10th of February


This book was compared to The Selection series. In this book people are ranked in levels of importance depending on their blood type the higher you are the more powerful and magical you are, and supposedly has a Darkling ( from The Grisha trilogy) type character which really intrigues me because I loved his character.
3. Confess by Colleen Hoover releases on the 10th of March



Another New Adult by one of my favourite authors. Like other Colleen Hoover books it's best to read it without knowing anything about it but here's the gist:


4. Fall With Me ( Wait For you #4) by J. Lynn also known as Jennifer. L. Armentrout releases on the 31st of March



You can tell by this post that I really like New Adult, this is another one and it is a continuation of my favourite companion series. This one is about the bartender Roxy (who was wearing a supernatural T-shirt in Stay With Me so I love her already) Reading Order:


5. When I'm Gone ( Rosemary Beach #11) by Abbi Glines  releases on the 7th of April


This is going to be a duology and it is about Mase who is Nan and Harlow's half-brother by Kiro Manning. I love the Rosemary Beach series, it is also a new adult (mature content). If you like alpha/possesive/bad boy -esque male characters you'll love this series


6. The Heir (The Selection #4) by Keira Cass releases on the 5th of May



I genuinely can't say anything otherwise it'll spoil literally everything, but it's a companion to The Selection series. Which was one of my favourite series in 2014,  so I'm really looking forward to this one!


7. Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen also releases on the 5th of May


Sarah Dessen is my all time favourite authors, her books are what got me back into reading last year and I'm so excited she has a new book coming out!


8. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah. J. Mass releases on the 5th of May


This book is described to be a retelling of Beauty and the Beast but with Fae added to it. I love the Throne of Glass series and I'm sure I'll love this one.

9. The Fill in Boyfriend by Kasie West also releases on the 5th of May (is it like the ultimate release date for publishers or what?)


I'm not too sure what this one is about, but it sounds like a cutesy contemporary read so I'm looking forward to it. I've also read The Distance Between us by this author which I really enjoyed.


10. P.S I Still Love You (To All the Boys I've Loved Before #2) by Jenny Han releases on the 26th of May


The finale of this duology. I loved To All the Boys I've Loved Before and I'm really excited to find out how this wraps up.


11. The Summer of Chasing Mermaids by Sarah Ockler releases on the 2nd of June.


Again, I'm not too sure what this one is about but I loved Bittersweet by this author so I'm expecting this to be a really good summery contemporary read.

12. The Heart of Betrayal (The Remnant Chronicles)  releases on the 7th of July 2015



I originally didn't put this in because I hadn't read The Kiss of Deception, but I finally have and I'm so excited to read this! The Kiss of Deception is basically about a girl who is betrothed to a prince for political reasons. On the day of her wedding she runs away with her best friend Pauline to start a new life. Unbeknownst to her, the prince she was supposed to wed and an assassin are looking for her. She meets them but is completely in the dark about their true identities and finds herself falling in love.

13. Crimson Bound by Rosamund Hodge releases on the 5th of May


I'm not too sure what this book is about except that it is a Red Riding Hood retelling. But the cover is really pretty!

14. Nowhere But Here by Katie Mcgarry releases on the 4th of June


Katie Mcgarry is one of my favourite authors and while I'm sad this isn't a new book from the Pushing The Limits series it sounds really good. This book has a dual point view: Emily and Oz. They both have connections to the Reign of Terror (a biker chain gang who protect people). Oz is told to protect Emily from the rival gang and I'm assuming sparks fly.

15. The Boy Most Likely To... ( My Life Next Door #2) by Huntley Fitzpatrick releases


I absolutely loved My Life Next Door and I've been looking forward to reading this since I heard it was going to be released. This book is a companion novel to the previous one. It is about Tim who was Samantha's (the main character's best friend's brother).


16. The Last Star by Rick Yancey releases in August

This is the finale in The 5th Wave trilogy. It's a Sci - fi about an alien invasion. This series has gotten mixed reviews but I need to find out how this series ends!


17. Queen of Shadows by Sarah .J. Mass releases in September

 It is a continuation of the Throne of Glass fantasy series which is about a kick ass assassin called Calaena Sardothein who has to fight for her freedom in the King's tournament- amazing!

18. Six of Crows ( The Dregs #1) by Leigh Bardugo



I have no idea what this book is about but is set in the Grisha world which was the setting of my favourite series Shadow and Bone. It is also compared to A Game of Thrones.


19. Winter (The Lunar Chronicles #4) by Marissa Meyer

The finale in the lunar chronicles. This series starts with a book called Cinder and is a retelling of Cinderella, except it's set in Beijing and Cinder is a cyborg. It's early interesting and I'm excited to see how this wraps up.

Thank you for reading this post and I hope you've enjoyed it. Next week's will be my review on White Hot Kiss by Jennifer L Armentrout!

My Re-read Jar (container)!

Last year was an amazing reading year for me , I read around 140 books!  I loved majority of them and I'm desperate to re-read them.

 On my instagram (Link at the bottom of my blog page) I've noticed a lot of people making TBR jars because of the high number of books they have yet to read. I don't have that problem because I only buy books I'm desperate to read and I don't allow myself to to buy more books until I've finished reading all my unread books. However, I really liked the idea of getting to pick something to read out of a jar every month and I didn't know which order to start re-reading my books in, so I figured this would be the best way.

I'm still planning on reading and buying new books but this just ensures that I am getting to re-read my favourite books again. All in all, there are 62 pieces of paper,every month I plan on picking out  five. Instead of writing books in a series individually I wrote the name of the series, so I could read them together. I didn't do that for companion series except for 'The Rosemary Beach' and 'The Seabreeze' by Abbi Glines because they are more intertwined than other companion series in my opinion.

 If I pick out a book that is apart of a series I don't own the rest of, those will be the books I buy that month. E.g. I've read 'The Darkest Minds' by Alexandra Bracken, but I haven't read 'Never Fade' or 'In The Afterlight'. Those are the books I'll buy so I can complete the series

I really think this is a great way to cut down on buying so many books, to complete my unfinished series and revisit all the great books I've read in the last year.

Feel free to do this aswell, you don't have to use the same 'rules' I have it's just so I can finish the jar within this year.

Thank you for reading his post and check out next week's where I reveal my most anticipated releases of 2015 and my reading goals!
