Hey, friends! Happy New Year! I cannot believe that we are already in 2019, but I’m wishing you all the pure happiness, unconditional love, and good health for the new year (and forever after, too)! And I’m really hoping to start off 2019 with some amazing reads!
➽ The Wicker King (The Wicker King #1) by K. Ancrum
The January pick for the Dragons and Tea Book Club! 🐉☕
➽ The Wicked King (The Folk of the Air #2) by Holly Black
January 8th 2019 by Little, Brown
This is going to be a reread for me, but I can’t wait to buddy read this with Lea! 💕
➽ A Study in Scarlet (Sherlock Holmes #1) by Arthur Conan Doyle
The January pick for #CatchUpOnClassics! 🔎
➽ A Study in Charlotte (Charlotte Holmes #1) by Brittany Cavallaro
And then I’m going to read the *bonus* buddy read book for #CatchUpOnClassics! 🔍
➽ The Hod King (The Books of Babel #3) by Josiah Bancroft
January 22nd 2019 by Orbit
I cannot believe I have an ARC of this in my house. This is going to be everything! 💜
➽ King of Scars (Nikolai Duology #1) by Leigh Bardugo
January 29th 2019 by Imprint
I am seriously just counting down the days until this midnight release! 👑
➽ Descendant of the Crane by Joan He
April 2nd 2019 by Albert Whitman Company
I am doing a massive buddy read for this with Hesina’s Imperial Court! 💗
➽ Again, But Better by Christine Riccio
May 7th 2019 by Wednesday Books
I want to love this so badly, and I actually think I will. Especially because I’m buddy reading this with Madalyn! 💖
➽ The Foxhole Court (All for the Game #1) by Nora Sakavic
Oh boy, I’m going to love this or hate this and I’m extremely scared, but extremely excited! At least I have Solly for buddy reading and moral support! 🧡
➽ 99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne
January 29th 2019 by William Morrow
I can’t believe I keep pushing this ARC off, but I blame the not so great reviews I keep seeing for it! I am actually really scared to read this one, but I promise to have a review up before the 29th! 💛
Okay, friends! Those are the ten books that I really hope to get to this month! Again, I don’t know how it is already the start of a new year, but I hope you all are having an amazing start to it! And I can’t wait to share another year with all my bookish friends!

Those all sound like great books. I’ll have to check them out! Happy New Year!

CANNOT WAITTTTT to finally buddy read together!! And honestly, same; I have a sneaking feeling we’re gonna love this book. I’m really excited for you to read A Study in Charlotte, too! That series isn’t necessarily my all-time favorite, but I love the characters and I always read the newest installments immediately upon release.
OBVIOUSLY VERY EXCITED FOR KING OF SCARS. Although I won’t get to it until February, because that’s when I’ll be getting my copy at Leigh Bardugo’s signing in Atlanta!

I legit binge read The Wicker King in one night…aka this morning so it was my first read of 2019. It was actually so good and I’m excited to see what everyone else thinks. The Foxhole Court series is one that you’ll either love or you’ll hate. I happened to really enjoy it. It’s still up there for one of my fave angsty quick reads.
