There are SO MANY titles I am excited about I couldn't keep myself from not clicking that damn to-read button on Goodreads and bookmarking everything. Then there was BEA and everyone who came to the event are posting pictures and talking about all of these upcoming must-haves and my mind just keeps going WANT, WANT, WANT #somuchwant. Here are my top 10:
Lair of Dreams
(The Diviners #2)
by Libba Bray
Expected Publication: August 25, 2015
Oh. Oh, yes. THIS. It's got to be at the top of the list. Its release date was moved so many times and now I've been waiting almost two years. Just imagine what those people who actually read The Diviners right when it was released are feeling.
The Revolution of Ivy
(The Book of Ivy #2)
by Amy Engel
Expected Publication: November 3, 2015
Anyone who read AND loved The Book of Ivy will understand the struggle. Long story short, November can't come soon enough.
Crossed
(Soul Eaters #3)
by Eliza Crewe
Expected Publication: August 11, 2015
Goodreads
Here's another book I had to wait for longer than usual. When you receive an ARC of the sequel (Crushed) to a book you are obsessed with (Cracked) do you wait until it gets closer to the release date to read it? Hell no. Even if the wait for the next book is torture. Even then.
The Immortal Heights
(The Elemental Trilogy #3)
by Sherry Thomas
Expected Publication: October 13, 2015
Goodreads
The Perilous Sea's ending would make you beg and grovel and pine for The Immortal Heights. Or at least that's what it did to me.
Illuminae
(The Illuminae Files #1)
by Amie Kaufman, Jay Kristoff
Expected Publication: October 20, 2015
Goodreads
One of the most anticipated books by everyone this year, amiright? And just look at all those publicity for this book. That beautiful HARDCOVER ARC, for one? Yeah, but that's not the main reason why I'm dying to have this. It's planet invasion! And there's a spaceship with a mad computer. Plus, I've read both Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff's works and I know they're going to be absolutely fantastic together.
The Scorpion Rules
by Erin Bow
Expected Publication: September 22, 2015
Goodreads
"The Children of Peace - sons and daughters of kings and presidents and generals - are raised together in small, isolated schools called Preceptures. There, they learn history and political theory, and are taught to gracefully accept what may well be their fate: to die if their countries declare war."
Uh huh. GIMME!
Court of Fives
(Court of Fives #1)
by Kate Elliott
Expected Publication: August 18, 2015
Goodreads
It's a fantasy book so I'm definitely in and I heard "Game of Thrones" somewhere in there. But then there's "...train for The Fives, an intricate, multi-level athletic competition that offers a chance for glory to the kingdom's best competitors". Ooooh yeah.
Legacy of Kings
(Blood of Gods and Royals #1)
by Eleanor Herman
Expected Publication: August 25, 2015
Goodreads
Another fantasy! This time "New York Times bestselling author Eleanor Herman reimagines the greatest emperor the world has ever known: Alexander the Great".
Dreamstrider
by Lindsay Smith
Expected Publication: October 6, 2015
Goodreads
"Graceling meet Inception"? You really don't have to say anything after that to convince me. But "A high-concept, fantastical espionage novel set in a world where dreams are the ultimate form of political intelligence." is great motivation, too.
Vengeance Road
by Erin Bowman
Expected Publication: September 1, 2015
Goodreads
I haven't read any Erin Bowman's books but I've been wanting to for a long time. I'm probably gonna start with her Taken series first but I have to say, Vengeance Road's cover is full of awesome. And it's YA western which I don't hear a lot about so it definitely intrigues me.

WHAT UPCOMING RELEASES ARE YOU MOST EXCITED FOR?
Comment below!
Great list! I have so many anticipated releases that I had to do two parts too.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'M WITH YOU. The struggle of the Book of Ivy fans is real. I can't wait for The Retrubution of Ivy,
And Illuminae looks amazing <3 SO EXCITED.
Olivia @ Fluttering Pages
RIGHT? Damn that ending. I need more Bishop and Ivy. Thanks for stopping by, Olivia.
DeleteOkay now my pile of anticipated books is growing. I difnitely NEED the Scorpion Rules and Illuminae. I've never heard about Dreamstrider before but everything about it is intriguing. The cover is gorgeous and it just sounds so cool!
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
Haha. I feel you :) Graceling is one of my most favorite fantasy book ever and I love the Inception movie so much so Dreamstrider immediately grabbed my attention. And of course, that cover.
DeleteI really want to read The Scorpion Rules and Court of Fives too!
ReplyDeleteI really want to read The Scorpion Rules and Court of Fives too!
ReplyDeleteYes! Here's to hoping they don't disappoint :)
DeleteHave you read The Dark Elements bu Jennifer L. Armentrout? The last book, Every Last Breath, will be released July 28th, but I can't wait! I haven't heard of any of your books before, but I'll be sure to add them to my TBR ;)
ReplyDeleteNot yet but it's been in my TBR for a while now. I should probably wait until the last book comes out and binge-read the whole trilogy :D
DeleteYAY For Immortal Heights! It was amazing :) I have a few of these and I can't wait to get started :)
ReplyDeleteGood to hear! I'm thinking of reading it next. I really can't wait but I don't want the series to end yet :(
DeleteAh, so many awesome titles! I am excited for Dreamstrider, too! And HELLO PAGE NUMBERS on Illuminae.
ReplyDeleteI am also excited for Ice Like Fire! :)
I know! Illuminae is, like, more than 600 pages (of awesomeness, I hope). I haven't read Snow Like Ashes yet but it's high on my TBR. I've heard so many positive things about it. I can't wait :)
DeleteAwesome list! The Revolution of Ivy is one of my most anticipated books of 2015 (TTHHHHAT ENDING *CRIES*) and I am also looking forward to Legacy of Kings. I also can't wait for Queen of Shadows and Ice like Fire. So many great titles coming!
