We have been having fun with Top Ten Tuesday, so we decided we will do one every week. This bookish meme was hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and has been going since June 2010! Since January 2018 Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week’s topic is Most Anticipated Releases of the Second Half of 2019. There are a lot of books releasing in the second half of the year that I have a feeling it will be hard to choose just ten, but I’m going to try. Let’s take a look!
Wayward Son – Rainbow Rowell After reading Fangirl, I knew I needed to read Carry On. It was a fun read and made me love Fangirl a little bit more. I don’t think any fans ever expected to get more Simon Snow, but this author shocked us all when she announced Wayward Son. This will definitely call for a reread of the books I already mentioned! I can’t wait to be back in this world.
Tiger Queen – Annie Sullivan A Touch of Gold was a pleasant surprise last year 
and I have a feeling Tiger Queen is going to be amazing as well! I’m not familiar with the story “The Lady, or The Tiger?”, but I don’t think that will make a difference!
The Burning Shadow – Jennifer L. Armentrout LUX will always be a favorite of mine and I can’t tell you how excited I was when she announced a spin off for this series. I loved The Darkest Star and the ending left me wanting more. October can’t get here soon enough!
Tunnel of Bones – Victoria Schwab City of Ghosts is a book I read right after I 
received it for Christmas lastt year. I remember being sad when I was done, because the release date for Tunnel of Bones was so far away, haha. We’re finally getting closer and I’m very excited for this middle grade.
Ninth House – Leigh Bardugo So far, I’ve loved everything I have read by this author. Six of Crows being number one. Ninth House is definitely an anticipated read and I’ve become very curious. The author has said this one is a lot darker than what we’ve read by her. On top of that, it’s not a Young Adult book!
Gideon the Ninth – Tamsyn Muir Necromancers aren’t something I’ve read a lot 
about, but it’s something that really interests me. I keep seeing this book everywhere and have to say the cover is the first thing that caught my eye. Gideon the Ninth releases in September and seems like the perfect thing to read around Halloween!
Scared Little Rabbits – A.V. Geiger Follow Me Back was such an amazing book and the sequel didn’t disappoint. I actually just learned a few days ago that Scared Little Rabbits is going to be released. Missing students and one suspect. Sounds like a perfect mystery.
Regretting You – Colleen Hoover This is basically an auto-buy/read author to 
me. I love her work and she’s one of the many who always break your heart, but puts it together again. I know it may seem weird that it’s on my list, but doesn’t have a blurb yet, haha. I can’t wait to read what it’s about. I love the cover though!
The Bromance Book Club – Lyssa Kay Adams If a book has anything to do with books or fandoms, I’m basically sold, haha. This book wasn’t on my radar until recently when I saw a blogger review the ARC she had received. I love the idea of men getting together for a book club to read romances to try and understand relationships better. I need this one now!
All the Bad Apples – Moïra Fowley-Doyle I haven’t read anything by this author 
yet, but they do appeal to me. Anything with family curses and mysteries always interest me. This is a book I actually have an ARC of that I’ll hopefully read before the release in August!
So these are the ten books releasing in the second half of 2019 that I’m really looking forward to. Believe me when I say these aren’t the only 10 I really want in the next six months, haha. There are so many book releasing, but I wrote down the books I thought of first! What books are you looking forward to? Let me know in the comments or feel free to leave your links!
A few of those made my list, too. But I also cheated and posted more than 10.
Can’t blame you for cheating. There are so many interesting book releasing soon!
Okay so I am SO excited for Ninth House, There Will Come A Darkness, The Queen of Nothing and Gravemaidens.
I do have copies of The Burning Shadow and Tiger Queen that I’m looking forward to, but they wouldn’t make my top 10.
I have an ARC of Gideon the Ninth and it’s honestly intimidating me and I don’t know why. I think I’m going to love it. Tiger Queen is one I’m looking forward to as well!

Yeah, I know what you mean. I just hope my expectations aren’t too high! Hope we both love these books.
A couple of those made my list as well! I am excited that I got the earc to Scared Little Rabbits – it looks like so much fun and I’m digging that cover.
I LOVE the cover!! I am requesting the earc today. Fingers crossed I can dive in soon as well!
I’ve heard some really great things about Ninth House and Tiger Queen so far! I really hope that they all meet your expectations and more!
Thank you! Me too! It’s always interesting to see what books live up to my expectations!
Ninth House is on my list this week too! I read my first Jennifer L. Armentrout book recently, but since I haven’t read the Lux books, I’ll do that next from her backlist.
I really recommend LUX! They’ll always be my favorite by her.
This is a really good list! I’m looking forward to Ninth House and Regretting You as well!

I’m so curious about Ninth House.

Me too!
I agree with you, JLA makes me excited about any book her name is on. I loved Lux as well. I still have to read the first book in this spinoff, but I’m sure it will be just as amazing as the original series. Happy reading!

It’s a bit different, but definitely worth it! I hope you enjoy it when you finally sit down to read it.
OMG I can’t believe I forgot about Tunnel of Bones! I’m adding Scared Little Rabbits to my TBR now.
There are just too many to remember!!
There are just way too many to remember!!
I keep saying I’m going to read Fangirl and then I don’t. I need to actually read it soon!
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
You really should! It’s so good 💜
So curious about wayward son too!!
Happy to hear more people looking forward to it!
I don’t really know anything about “Bromance Book Club,” but its cover sounds cute, and I like how you describe it. I do remember seeing it “recommended” when I was shopping some contemporary reads on Amazon, so I’ll have to take a second look at this one! 🙂 Thanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland – hope you enjoy all of these!!

I don’t think it’s gotten much attention yet, but I think it
Weird, I thought I commented earlier this morning. But I freaking love your list! I’m super excited about Ninth House and the fact that it’s not YA is very intriguing. The cover gives me spooky vibes. I love your list!

Thank you! It was really hard just putting it down to ten! I am really curious to see how she writes an adult story.
Wayward Son is pretty exciting. And I’m seeing Ninth House EVERYWHERE. I really need to try Bardugo’s books.

Ooh, Tiger Queen looks really good! Gideon the Ninth is also one I’m really intrigued by.
Yeah! I can’t wait to read them both.
So excited for Wayward Son! Gideon the Ninth does sound like a fun Halloween read, added to my TBR 🙂
I hope we both enjoy them a lot!!😊
Wayward Son is going to be awesome!
