Hey guys, welcome back to my blog! Today I’m coming at you with another original tag! πππ This year I’ve been really working to make a proper effort with my blog and to try and change up my blog posts so I figure, what better way to do that than by making my own book tag? So, since so many amazing books have been coming out lately, I decided to make a tag around the topic! π
- Thank the person who nominated you

1 YOUR MOST ANTICIPATED RELEASE OF THE YEAR
The Girl in Red
Christina Henry wrote one of my favourite Books, Lost Boy and her book covers are absolutely to die for! Because I loved her retelling of Peter Pan so much, I’m pretty sure I’m going to enjoy The Girl in Red and I’m really hoping it’s going to be a new favourite since Christina Henry clearly has a talent for writing retellings!
A BOOK YOU’RE NOT ANTICIPATING
Aurora Rising
I have only read Illuminae by both of these authors together and honestly, it wasn’t my kind of thing and I also just don’t really think Aurora Rising is really up my alley. I think the cover is nice and I don’t have any problems with the authors but, I just have no interest in this book also, I’ve heard that the characters all talk like they’re in Riverdale and that sounds like too much for me to handle.
3 MOST UNDERHYPED ANTICIPATED RELEASE
*A book you haven’t heard anyone talking about, but you’re excited about anyway
Alex Rider: Secret Weapon
Alex Rider was one of my favourite series when I was younger so of course, I’m excited to continue reading the series! I’m planning on re-reading the whole series later this year so if all goes to plan I’ll then read this new instalment and be all caught up on the series!
4 A BOOK YOU’VE BEEN WAITING ON FOREVER!
The King of Crows
Last year I started the Diviners series and oh my god, I devoured the first three books in the series in a couple of weeks and I feel like I’ve been waiting for book four, the finale for so long! I love all the characters and I’m so interested to see how the series will end! It’s been such a long wait!
5 A BOOK YOU’RE ANTICIPATING OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE
Red, White and Royal Blue
I have never called myself a romance reader but this year I’ve been trying to make more of a conscious effort to read more out of my comfort zone this year and I’ve been enjoying more of the new adult books I’ve been reading, so I’m interested to try Red, White and Royal Blue since it’s more on the fluffy side and I’ve never really read something that was described as “pure fluff”, but I’m definitely excited to try something new!
6 YOUR TOP 3 “CAN’T WAIT” BOOKS OF THE YEAR

Β Β 
Finale,Β Capturing The Devil,Β Five βDark Fates
Finale just came out and CTD and 5DFare coming out later this year and I couldn’t be more excited about to read them! I’m a bit strapped for time right now because of school, but as soon as I’m finished with my assessments I’ll be getting to Finale and then I’m sure that I’ll get super distracted by school for another couple of months and the other two will be out. I love all of these series and I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on my copies!

I completely forgot about The Diviners series!! I read the first two years ago and seriously need to get the third one. That cover for The King of Crows is fantastic!

The series is so so good, I recommend re-reading the first two and then finishing the series out when book 4 is released because it’s so easy to binge-read all the books! Yes, I love the cover for King of Crows! π

It’s such a beautiful cover, I really like it – I’m honestly surprised that they didn’t do something completely different as they’ve changed it for each book in the past! At least now I can buy them all and have them match! π

ooh, this is a great tag! I’ll definitely have to do it on my blog! I am also not anticipating Aurora Rising at all. Space books are not for me. I’m curious about Christina Henry though; I bought The Mermaid a while ago and I personally really like retellings. I hope you enjoy all of these anticipated books!

Thank you! π Like you, I just don’t think Aurora Rising is my kind of thing, but I’m glad others are liking it.
Christina Henry is one of my favourite writers – I definitely recommend Lost Boy and Alice is also a great (but VERY dark) retelling is you’re looking something very fresh but heavy (read the trigger warnings first!).

Red, WHite and Royal Blue looks so cute, I’m really hoping there’ll be an audiobook too!
A Heart in A Body in The World also looks amazing but none of my local stores stock it so I think I’ll have to buy it online at some point.

Nice, this is a great post idea even though I don’t exactly keep track of upcoming releases. I feel silly saying that but I know now it’s true! I was excited for The Deepest Blue by Sarah Beth Durst and it’s out now (I’ve been promising my review for some time now…) and The Ice House by Tim Clare which has been out 2 weeks. I’m sure there’s more but I don’t know them off hand. You’ve got me wanting to look. Just so many on my backlist! Oh and you drew my attention to The Diviners, should I read or mention it I’ll shout back to ya. Thank you!

Haha, that’s okay! Not everyone tracks new releases and that’s fine, I know I certainly don’t keep up as much as most bloggers do! π I haven’t heard of either of those books so I’ll have to look them up!
The Diviners is amazing, and has a great audiobook if you’re curious! π
