Featuring books that I really want to read but haven't actually made it to my embarrassingly large TBR pile yet.

Last of her name Jessica Khoury
I do enjoy retellings, and I have high hopes for this twist on the Anastasia story. And the cover image is so cool. It's dynamic, sparkly, and a little dangerous. Unfortunately, Last of Her Name will have to wait for the summer when I have more time for a 400 page book.

Release Date: February 26, 2019

Sixteen years ago, rebellion swept the galaxy known as the Belt of Jewels. Every member of the royal family was murdered--down to their youngest child, Princess Anya--and the Union government rose in its place. But Stacia doesn't think much about politics. She spends her days half-wild, rambling her father's vineyard with her closest friends, Clio and Pol.

That all changes the day a Union ship appears in town, carrying the leader of the Belt himself, the Direktor Eminent. The Direktor claims that Princess Anya is alive, and that Stacia's sleepy village is a den of empire loyalists, intent on hiding her. When Stacia is identified as the lost princess, her provincial home explodes into a nightmare.

I really like Anne Bishop's The Others series. She's created a great world where the Others are so alien in their thinking (compared to humans) but a wild and natural part of the world. They are the things that go bump in the night, the creatures lurking in the woods, they rule the world and begrudgingly allow humans to inhabit it as well. I feel like I've been waiting FOREVER for Wild Country to come out. I haven't had a chance to get my hands on this yet, but it will be coming home soon.

There are ghost towns in the world—places where the humans were annihilated in retaliation for the slaughter of the shape-shifting Others.

One of those places is Bennett, a town at the northern end of the Elder Hills—a town surrounded by the wild country. Now efforts are being made to resettle Bennett as a community where humans and Others live and work together. A young female police officer has been hired as the deputy to a Wolfgard sheriff. A deadly type of Other wants to run a human-style saloon. And a couple with four foster children—one of whom is a blood prophet—hope to find acceptance.

But as they reopen the stores and the professional offices and start to make lives for themselves, the town of Bennett attracts the attention of other humans looking for profit. And  the arrival of the Blackstone Clan, outlaws and gamblers all, will uncover secrets…or bury them.

I enjoyed the first two InCryptid books, and while the third wasn't bad, I lost interest in the series. But  book 5 picks back up with my favorite ninja ballroom dancer, so I might give this another go. Is it bad that I'm skipping book 4?

Seanan McGuire Chaos Choreography InCryptid
Author: Seanan Mcguire
Release Date: March 1, 2016

Verity Price is back on the West Coast and getting back into the swing of the family business: cryptozoology. She’s rescuing cryptids from bad situations, protecting them from monster-hunters, and generally risking life and limb for the greater good, with her ex-Covenant partner/husband, Dominic, by her side. Her ballroom dance career is behind her—or so she thinks. When Verity gets the call from the producers of Dance or Die, the reality show she almost won several years before, she finds the lure impossible to resist, and she and Dominic are off to L.A. for one last shot at the big time.


Of course, nothing is that simple. When two contestants turn up dead, Verity will need every ally she can find with the investigation, without blowing her cover…

I love graphic novels and I enjoyed The Lunar Chronicles, put them together and I'm super excited about Wires and Nerve. Lets go, Iko!

Author: Marissa Meyer
Release Date: January 31, 2017

In her first graphic novel, bestselling author Marissa Meyer extends the world of the Lunar Chronicles with a brand-new, action-packed story about Iko, the android with a heart of (mechanized) gold. When rogue packs of wolf-hybrid soldiers threaten the tenuous peace alliance between Earth and Luna, Iko takes it upon herself to hunt down the soldiers' leader. She is soon working with a handsome royal guard who forces her to question everything she knows about love, loyalty, and her own humanity. With appearances by Cinder and the rest of the Rampion crew, this is a must-have for fans of the bestselling series.
