Some of our favorite stories continue in these great new releases!
Welcome!
Thanks to the continuation of some pretty killer reads that have been released the last couple of years, we’ve been seeing some great books coming out recently. Then again.. there’s almost always an incredible book or two(thousand) just waiting to be discovered.
This may sound strange but when I find out the next book in a series is being released around the time I want to read something I’ll usually wait until it’s published, then read both (or all) of the books together. So I’ve only actually read the first book in two of the series below.. the rest are from my ‘must-read’ TBR pile.
That does have me waiting for quite a while sometimes.. but I don’t mind. A good book is worth it.
Here are just a few of the ones I’ve been looking forward to.
Happy Reading!
