Top Ten Tuesday: The Anticipation is Killing Me!

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is...

Anticipated 2019 Releases!


I had previously shared some of my most anticipated YA releases, and now I am going to show some love to all the adult books I cannot wait to read in 2019. This is a mix of go-to authors, new favorites, and new-to-me authors, and I am excited about each and every one of these books!


What are some of your anticipated 2019 releases?

    These look really fun- especially Natalie Tan's which I need to go take a closer peek at.

      If you like romance, this list will satisfy. When I really take a hard look at my adult reads, they are all contemporary romances, and so is this list.

    I'm not really one to look way ahead. I tend to stumble across books as they come out. I'm looking forward to the new Extinction Trials book in February.

    I like the synopsis of Waiting For Tom Hanks. It seems a rom-com I'd love to read.

    Happy readings! ;)

      I am all over rom-coms. They make me happy, and I have enjoyed two other books by Winfrey. I am pretty excited to see she was releasing an adult book.

      Ayesha has been on my radar a while, but now it has Nick's seal of approval, so I really hope I get to read it.

    The Bride Test for sure! Definitely looking forward to that one. And as soon as I catch up with the True North series I'll be starting the Brooklyn Bruisers series. So much good reading ahead! And I really need to read something by Sawyer Bennett one of these days.

      I am behind on my Sarina Bowen books too (I need to get on her blogger review list), but I won a $50 Amazon gift card, so there are some new books in my future. If you like sports romances, the Cold Fury books by Bennett are great, but she also has a legal series I loved.

    I liked The Kiss Quotient, so I'll probably be reading The Bride Test as well. Waiting for Tom Hanks is an interesting title. Does it have something to do with the actor?

    Yay for The Bride Test. I hadn't seen Pride and Dad Jokes but I love the name and Penny Reid usually writes some pretty funny stuff! I'll check that one out for sure!

      I think Reid is hilarious. Her books are never at my library though, so I have to buy them to read them. I like the Bruisers series, but then again, I always enjoy Bowen's books.

      I think Hoang is definitely one to read. Her first book surprised me in the best way, and all those lucky readers with ARCs of TBT are saying amazing things. She just brings something new and fresh to romance. Illustrated covers are awesome. I will take them any day over photos.

    You still manage to find a few books I've not heard of on this so I'm going to have to go see if I'm going to look foward to them too. I can't wait for Lucy Parker's latest release, but I can never wait for that to come out. And The Bride Test looks so good, I need it in my life obviously. I am so excited to start Ayesha At Last though, it's been on my Kindle for like a month and I cannot wait to pick it up soon.
