Books I Can't wait to Read in 2018!

     Hey guys! How's your new year going? Sticking to your New year resolutions? (stupid question I gave up on mine on January 1st!) Seeing as it is now Martin Luther King jr. day I can successfully say I have been able to finish about two really good books this year which I'm really excited about because I am finally getting out of my reading slump! The only thing about reading all these new books is that most of them are series and then I have to wait practically a whole year before I can get the next one (I try to read other books to forget about them but sometimes its hard and in those time I need ice cream!)  

(me when I realize I have to wait a year for the next book!!!)

 The exciting thing about it being a new year is all the new book releases we all have to look forward to! I personally have been building my TBR obsessively these past few weeks because it seems like everywhere I turn bloggers are catching my attention with all these new and fabulous releases! I mean theres some pirate stories, heists that take place in historical times (the inner history nerd in me is freaking out here), and of course the contemporary mystery about backstabbing (because I can't disrespect my roots here and considering contemporary is what triggered my love for reading I have to give back a little by reflecting on the good old contemporary days)  

Anyhow here are some of the book I am looking forward to reading the most this year! (I have to try and stay strong when it comes to my Good Reads reading challenge for this year!)                                          


                                                       By a Charm and A Curse

By: Jaime Questell

Summary: Le Grand’s Carnival Fantastic isn’t like other traveling circuses. It’s bound by a charm, held together by a centuries-old curse, that protects its members from ever growing older or getting hurt. Emmaline King is drawn to the circus like a moth to a flame…and unwittingly recruited into its folds by a mysterious teen boy whose kiss is as cold as ice.

Forced to travel through Texas as the new Girl in the Box, Emmaline is completely trapped. Breaking the curse seems like her only chance at freedom, but with no curse, there’s no charm, either—dooming everyone who calls the Carnival Fantastic home. Including the boy she’s afraid she’s falling for.

Everything—including his life—could end with just one kiss.

Does this book not sound amazing? A potential deadly kiss from a ice boy and a mysterious carnival for the setting of it all?!? Tell me I am not the only one freaking out here! 

I mean an ice boy! My brain is already spinning with all the possibilities! I have to thank Cait from paper fury for introducing me to this book! I now cannot wait to get my hands on it! 

To Kill A Kingdom

By: Alexandra Christo

Summary: Princess Lira is siren royalty and the most lethal of them all. With the hearts of seventeen princes in her collection, she is revered across the sea. Until a twist of fate forces her to kill one of her own. To punish her daughter, the Sea Queen transforms Lira into the one thing they loathe most—a human. Robbed of her song, Lira has until the winter solstice to deliver Prince Elian’s heart to the Sea Queen or remain a human forever.

The ocean is the only place Prince Elian calls home, even though he is heir to the most powerful kingdom in the world. Hunting sirens is more than an unsavory hobby—it’s his calling. When he rescues a drowning woman in the ocean, she’s more than what she appears. She promises to help him find the key to destroying all of sirenkind for good—But can he trust her? And just how many deals will Elian have to barter to eliminate mankind’s greatest enemy? 

Okay I think I may be even more excited for this than the last book! It is just SO different from a lot of the YA books already out there right now. A spin on a story about the mythical Sirens who have become real! I am trying to contain my excitement and I am failing miserably. Plus there is a prince and a whole lot of betrayal! Yes please!

The Towering Sky

By: Katharine McGee

Summary: The final book in Katharine McGee's epic New York Times bestselling series, The Thousandth Floor.

It's New York City, 2118.

In Manhattan’s glamorous thousand-story supertower, millions of people are living scandalous lives. Leda, Watt, Rylin, Avery, and Calliope are all struggling to hide the biggest secrets of all, secrets that could destroy everything, and send their perfect worlds toppling over the edge.

Because every rise has a fall.

Okay this series has been an amazing ride and the last book completely took my breath away. I mean it was not was I was expecting AT ALL! There were parts of it I was completely in love with and others that made me want to throw something out of pure frustration. ( I mean your rich do you forget what money can get you?!?!) However all of that has somehow only fueled my need even more for this last book in the series. I am simotanously sad to see it end and happy at the same time (because I NEED closure) but I would not say no to more books in this series or a companion series!!

Lies You Never Told Me

By: Jennifer Donaldson

Summary: "A compulsive page-turner with a shocking twist--get ready to stay up all night!" --Sara Shepard, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Pretty Little Liars

Gabe and Elyse have never met. But they both have something to hide.

Quiet, shy Elyse can't believe it when she's cast as the lead in her Portland high school's production of Romeo and Juliet. Her best friend, Brynn, is usually the star, and Elyse isn't sure she's up to the task. But when someone at rehearsals starts to catch her eye--someone she knows she absolutely shouldn't be with--she can't help but be pulled into the spotlight. 

Austin native Gabe is contemplating the unthinkable--breaking up with Sasha, his headstrong, popular girlfriend. She's not going to let him slip through her fingers, though, and when rumors start to circulate around school, he knows she has the power to change his life forever. 

Gabe and Elyse both make the mistake of falling for the wrong person, and falling hard. Told in parallel narratives, this twisty, shocking story shows how one bad choice can lead to a spiral of unforeseen consequences that not everyone will survive.

This book rings so many bells for me because it just brings me back to my Pretty Little Liars days when all I would read was about petty high school girls who were too selfish and stupid to spill their guts about all the dirty secrets they knew. 

 That being said I secretly love selfish petty characters because I feel like that part of them is mostly surface level and then you get to the part where they make either decisions that setroy them with guilt to choices that override them with power and darkness ( i like the second option best...) 

I also have a complete and utter sot spot for bad boys or selfish popular guys sucking up their pride for a new girl who changes their minds about the way they see the world. That being said I am SO excited for this to come out and cannot wait!

My Lady Jane

By: Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows

Summary: Edward (long live the king) is the King of England. He’s also dying, which is inconvenient, as he’s only sixteen and he’d much rather be planning for his first kiss than considering who will inherit his crown…

Jane (reads too many books) is Edward’s cousin, and far more interested in books than romance. Unfortunately for Jane, Edward has arranged to marry her off to secure the line of succession. And there’s something a little odd about her intended…

Gifford (call him G) is a horse. That is, he’s an Eðian (eth-y-un, for the uninitiated). Every day at dawn he becomes a noble chestnut steed—but then he wakes at dusk with a mouthful of hay. It’s all very undignified.

The plot thickens as Edward, Jane, and G are drawn into a dangerous conspiracy. With the fate of the kingdom at stake, our heroes will have to engage in some conspiring of their own. But can they pull off their plan before it’s off with their heads?

I have heard nothing but good things about this book and a lot of book bloggers have done nothing but rave about how wonderful this book is. Plus I am looking for something funny but clever with a good unpredictable plot and when I heard this would be about a heist I literally was SO excited!!! (*happy dance* 

( me when reading a good book and the couple finally has a moment!)

Anyways that pretty much sums up all the books I'm really looking forward to reading at that moment!
