Most Anticipated 2015 Debuts


Hello Lovelies! As always, this top ten Tuesday post is brought to you by the lovely folks over at The Broke and the Bookish. 

This week's post required a bit of research. The kind of research I love to do! This is the..

Top Ten Most Anticipated 2015 Debuts


Tiny Pretty Things by Sonia Charaipotra and Dhonielle Clayton: This sounds like a young adult, more backstabby version of Center Stage, and I'm so excited about it!! 

Solitaire by Alice Oseman: I'm not entirely sure what this is supposed to be about, but it sounds a little bit like Tales of the Madman Underground which I adored, so I'm willing to give it a shot.

Magonia by Maria Dahvana Headley: It's compared to Stardust (meets The Fault in Our Stars wha wha wha) but it actually does sound like Stardust! And Stardust is amazing. And this sounds fantastic. I can't wait.

An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir: Basically Gladiator plus scholars. And it's gotten great reviews. Should be awesome. 

The Memory Key by Liana Liu: I have a secret soft spot for books based around forgetting. I love people falling back in love with other people. And this looks great because it's based around a mother-daughter relationship. 

The Wrong Side of Right by Jenn Marie Thorne: I also love the presidential daughter trope. It's be great to see the President as the mom for once, but that's a different story. But I still have high hopes for this one. 

Written in the Stars by Aisha Saeed: I'm so excited for this book. It looks at arranged marriages from the viewpoint of a young girl whose parents reveal to her that they have set her up with one when they are on a family vacation to Pakistan. I think it sounds amazing. 

Playlist for the Dead by Michelle Falkoff: This one sounds heart-breaking. It seems a bit like Thirteen Reasons Why, but based around songs instead of tapes. 

The Distance Between Lost and Found by Kathryn Holmes: Camping Trip. Lost in the wilderness. Secrets and Gossip. I mean, what could go wrong? EVERYTHING. I LOVE IT.

A Wicked Thing by Rhiannon Thomas: More of a continuation of the Sleeping Beauty myth than a retelling, this one looks like it could be really awesome. 

What do you think lovelies? What debuts are you most excited for? I got really into looking for these, so I'd love to hear about any others!!

    I am so excited for Tiny Pretty Things as well! (I didn't find out about it until after my list was already made though!) I don't know if you know about/have read this yet, but you should check out Pointe by Brandy Colbert. It's very very high on my TBR list.

Blarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Hello lovelies. I'm feeling super overwhelmed by life since I'm doing Camp Nanowrimo and trying to move and find a place to live 2600 miles away. So that's my excuse for missing last week. But now you get two weeks in a row. So this week's theme (hosted as always by The Broke and the Bookish ) is... Top Ten Favorite Movies   (And I picked Scary Movies) I have a secret. Or I guess I had a secret. And that secret is that I love  scary movies. Like anything that plays on gross special effects or melting walls or sudden appearances--I'm totally down for it. (This has only back fired on me once--when I had a panic attack watching Saw 2--I don't wanna talk about it...) So in no particular order, movies that really impressed me with their scare factors: 1. Thir13een Ghosts -- there's this scene with a glass door that is ingrained in my brain.  2. Haunting in Conneticut -- aw man, this movie is sooo good. I actu...

Give Me a Little Love

Hello Lovelies!! Today we're going to talk about love and romance in books This is going to be kind of tricky for me because while I love book romances (see what I did there?), I have a hard time articulating things I like and don't like about them. So I think I'm going to split this into two categories: likes and dislikes.  1. Love: Slow-builds. Give me all the scenes where they gently flirt, and smile at each other, and watch each other out of the corner of their eyes.  2. Hate: Moving too quickly. I understand there are only so many pages, and a lot of other things need to happen, but if they met yesterday and they're getting married or exchanging I love yous, it's moving too fast for me. Build in some time!! 3. Love: Meet-cutes! I know lots of people will be like, but how can you love both slow-builds and meet-cutes, and to them, I say, BECAUSE I CAN. But really, if you bump into each other while holding hot coffee, or hold the subway door o...

Oops I Didn't Catch Them All

Hello Lovelies! Another Top Ten Tuesday? On Tuesday? It's almost like it's Winter Break still or something.  This week's theme is... Top Ten 2014 Debuts I Missed Breakfast Served Anytime by Sarah Combs:  This novel about a young girl attending a gifted and talented camp seemed to drift under the radar, but I still want to read it.  Avalon by Mindee Arnett : A sci-fi novel that got a lot of press pre-release, but didn't make a big splash afterwards. I want to know if it's as Firefly-esque as the comparisons that were made. Even in Paradise by Chelsey Philpot: Jamie  really liked this one, and it sounds like a good read! Falling Into Place by Amy Zhang: Multiple perspectives and a heart-wrenching storyline--seems right up my alley. Let's Get Lost by Adi Alsaid: Most people I know who read this loved it. I just didn't get around to it. Far From You by Tess Sharpe: I saw this on a lot of GLBTQ positive posts, ...
