New year, the same fun TTT time! As usual, if you’re curious about this, Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl hosts these weekly challenges (so, see her blog for more info). Today’s theme is about my most anticipated January through June 2019 releases. I compiled my list by looking through the monthly Goodreads lists and seeing which one I had already marked as tbr. I also checked on series I knew should be coming to an end/should continue and authors whose ARCs I reviewed previously.
JANUARY
I’ve been feverishly waiting for book three to come out in the Winternight Trilogy. I had the pleasure to receive ARCs for the first two and thus it has been excruciatingly long for me. I’m also a fan of journaling and a little magick, so a 365-day magical journey sounds right up my alley.
The Winter Witch (Winternight Trilogy #3) by Katherine Arden
The Severed Moon by Leigh Bargudgo (a magical journal with prompts!)
FEBRUARY
Once in a while, I love me a good psychological thriller. The Silent Patient seems to fit that bill perfectly. I like the idea of diving into the psyche of a murderer. I’ve always loved the story of Anastasia, so I’m looking forward to this novel inspired by it. I reviewed the first book in the Wild Magic Trilogy and it was a rather dark middle-grade book. I don’t come across those often, so I’m curious about the second one.
The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
I was Anastasia by Ariel Lawhon
The Little Grey Girl (Wild Magic Trilogy #2) by Celine Kiernan
MARCH
I devoured the Shades of Magic trilogy so seeing this story continue in graphic novel form is definitely a must for me.
Shades of Magic, Vol 1 (Shades of Magic Universe, graphic novel series) by V.E. Schwab
APRIL
I reviewed the first book of The Inventors series and enjoyed the steampunk aspects. I also loved how the author incorporated actual historical scientists. Middle-grade literature needs more of that. I’ve heard some buzz about The Greystone Secrets and thus want to check out the first book in the series.
The Inventors and the Lost Island (The Inventors #2) by A.M. Morgen
The Strangers (The Greystone Secrets #1) by Margaret Peterson Haddix
MAY
I have yet to read any of the Caraval books but probably will wait now until the third one is out so I can binge all three. I only recently discovered Katherine Applegate and immediately fell in love with her books so I definitely want to read more of them.
Finale (Caraval #3) by Stephanie Garber
The First (Endling #2) by Katherine Applegate
JUNE
Whomp, whomp. I have no books marked (yet) for that month.
There are also a few books I want to be released ASAP but their actual dates for 2019 haven’t been announced, yet.
OTHERS IN 2019 WITHOUT SPECIFIC RELEASE DATES
Guardians of Dawn (Guardians of Dawn #1) by S. Jae-Jones
The War of the Givens (Silvers #3) by Daniel Price
Untitled (Six of Crows #3) by Leigh Bardugo
Glass Town by Isabel Greenberg

Severed Moon looks fun- I like the journal idea. And The First sounds interesting also!
