Hello,
This is the time of year for either reflection or looking ahead to the new year. And this post will be one of the looking ahead ones. Today I’m going to share with you my most anticipated releases for 2019!
This won’t be a definitive list of all the releases I’m interested in. But I do create this list and add to it throughout the year. This list lives under the Anticipated Reads tab on the main menu.
Warring my thoughts on these books and why I’m excited will some time be incoherent rambling of excitement so I’m also including the currently available synopsis of each of these books.
Each photo is linked to the corresponding goodreads pages. So if you like the sound of it, you can add it to you goodreads TBR
They are listed in no particular order.

“I thought once that gods are the opposite of death, but I see now they are more dead then anything, for they are unchanging, and can hold nothing in their hands.”

“This is the trouble with myth. Each of us scoops out our own rotten core and spits it out on stage. We stand around the heap of smoking corpses and declare it fate.”
