My yearly can't wait books lists are usually much longer, but I've decided to take it slow since I'm returning from a long unwanted hiatus. I picked one book per month -- actually, I must confess, choosing one book was far from easy, with all the great books that are coming out this year. Anyway, shall we take a look at my list?
Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan. If you remember, I'm always up for a retelling. Also, I can't resist mythology and legendary creatures.
Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh. I'm in love with the cover. It's beautiful! 😍 I'm too in love with the premise and dying to plunge into the Spirit Realm.
Gallant by V.E. Schwab. Forever and always reading anything this woman writes. Although, I confess I'm a few books behind.
Goodreads || Book Depository
Queen of the Tiles by Hanna Alkaf. I might be awful at playing Scrabble, but The Weight of Our Sky is one of my favourite books (and I'm waiting for my copy of The Girl and the Ghost).
Not Good for Maidens by Tori Bovalino. "Gothic" plus "Retelling" equals "Book that I must read". 😋 The cover is a bit terrifying, but I like it a lot.
The Dream Runners by Shveta Thakrar. The blurb is super intriguing ("harvesting mortal dreams for the consumption of the naga court"), and the cover is just stunning.
The Darkening by Sunya Mara. I was caught by the premise of a "city trapped in the eye of a cursed storm."
The Undead Truth of Us by Britney S. Lewis. I fell in love with the cover (sunflowers are my favourites), but I stayed for the premise -- even though I think it will break my heart.
The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas. I never read anything by Thomas, but a book that is being marketed as "Percy Jackson meets The Hunger Games" seems the perfect book to begin.
One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig. A
gothic fantasy where the main character has a monster trapped in her head? Count me in!
Bloodmarked by Tracy Deonn. I adored Legendborn -- it tackled racial issues and intergenerational trauma -- and I cannot wait to know what happens next. I'm aware I'm on the wrong ship, but Bree and Sel are perfect.
Scorched Earth by Danielle L. Jensen. I haven't read any book in the series yet, but I love anything Jensen writes. How can I not be excited?

Lots of fantasy for you to enjoy. Hope they are all winners!
ReplyDeleteHow have I only heard of two of the books on your list? Daughter of the Moon Goddess looks good and I've wanted to read it ever since I saw the cover and I have Gallant on my radar... but I always say that about VE Schwab books and it seems to take me forever to read them.
ReplyDeleteI see a couple I'm excited for but a couple others I definitely have to check out!!
ReplyDeleteI somehow haven't heard of a lot of these?! But oh my gosh, they look so good! Definitely adding The Darkening to my list. I absolutely cannot wait for Bloodmarked, too!
ReplyDeleteBloodmarked and your first three books are on my list as well!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy all of these!
