I’m baaaaaaaaaack!

Can you feel it guys?!

That first month of 2019 is just about to blow away into the wind. A distant memory. An inconsequential blip in the amazingness (shhhhh, it’s a word) that next month will be.

January was just a warm-up. It was a couple high knees, jumping jacks and about ten half-assed burpees. You were exhausted, you looked a little crazy. But it’s okay.

Because you’re conditioned now.

And Walking into February like…

What BETTER way to get hyped for the big F-E-B than to check out its anticipated reads?!

Here it is boys and girls:

My Ten Anticipated February Book Releases

 

1. The Queen of Cursed Things (Book 1) by S.M. Gaither

Release Date: February 1, 2019

I’ll just never get enough of these rebellion stories.

And you better not either…because there’s a whole couldronload of them below ❤

This is a story about humans and Gods, and about a girl who brings back a clan that was thought to be eradicated decades before. Alana learns that she is the descendant of the serpent clan, and accidentally awakens them. It sounds like it is going to be a battle-royal and a great story where a female kicks some ass. You go girl!

 

2. The Cerulean (Book 1) by Amy Ewing

Release Date: February 5, 2019

A YA/Fantasy by Amy Ewing, writer of The Lone City series?

Psh. Say no more.

I have a REALLY strong inkling that this book/duology is going to be truly amazing and special. It already sounds like the perfect amount of fantasy and imagination that all of us crave! It’s about a girl who lives in a city above the sky which connects to the (or a…?) human world below. She feels like an outcast around her people, the Cerulean, and wishes they would just cut the tether that connects the two worlds.

So she is chosen as a sacrifice to break the tether of the worlds. Basically, she just has to throw herself off the ledge and die.

The….f**k?!

Honestly. Amy Ewing is a Goddess.

 

3. Lady Smoke (Ash Princess, Book 2) by Laura Sebastian

Release Date: February 5, 2019

MY TOP ANTICIPATED READ FOR FEBRUARY!!!!!

Did you guys DIE for Ash Princess like I did?!?

I have been waiting and waiting for book 2, but it seems my approval from Netgalley has…*cough cough*…gotten lost in the mail…

I don’t want to reveal too much if you haven’t read book 1 – Ash Princess (DO IT NOW), but it hards not to. Theodosia is a princess who has been trapped under the Kaiser’s thumb for years, and now she has finally made her move against the people her ruined her kingdom and life. It is a tale of deception and sadness, and royalty and rebellions. Obviously, my favorite.

 

4. Enchantée by Gita Trelease

Release Date: February 5, 2019

I THANKFULLY received this beauty from Netgalley (thank the witches) and CANNOT wait to get it started. I have been hardcore into these YA/Fantasy/Historical fiction books. I don’t know what it is about these books.

The GLITZ, the GLAM.

The Murder.

It’s positively swoonworthy.

 

5. Courting Darkness (Book 1) by Robin LaFevers

Release Date: February 5, 2019

Another Historical Fiction for February!!!!

 

to be honest, the description of this book has me a little lost. Sybella is the darkest of Death’s daughters (ugh to-die-for), accompanies a duchess to France to help with a battle of sorts, and to save her sisters in the process.

Look. Sometimes that’s all you need to get a girl hooked, okay?! Let’s do it.

 

6. A Danger to Herself and Others by Alyssa B. Sheinmel

Release Date: February 5, 2019

Another book I so graciously received from Netgalley, and one I cannot WAIT to sink my teeth into!

Call me a psycho, but I just love a tale about a character being put into a mental institution.

Although the description of this story gives the reader a slight inkling that it may have a more serious mental health tone rather than a murder-y vibe, it still tells the reader that they are going to be guessing and guessing during the entire read.

Curiouser and Curiouser.

 

7. Crown of Feathers (Book 1) by Nicki Pau Preto

Release Date: February 12, 2019

Fierce Warrior Queens? Pheonix Riders?

A young woman who infiltrates a man-driven legion of warriors?

Enough said.

 

8. James Acaster’s Classic Scrapes by James Acaster

Release Date: February 19, 2019

If you don’t know who James Acaster is, you need to get involved.

The British Panel Shows have a special place in my witchy heart, and so do all of the interesting characters who fill them. James is at the top of my favorites list for his comedy. He’s a man-boy prone to brooding with snarky comments and a whole host of embarrassing stories. His book details countless moments from his life when his NERD has shown proud, and he has made a giant ass of himself.

If that doesn’t grab you, just look at those yellow/brown color choices for attire.

 

9. We Set the Dark on Fire by Tehlor Kay Mejia

Release Date: February 26, 2019

The cover, the title…it’s just working.

You all know i love a rebellion book, and this one is just REEKING of rebellion. There are high and low factions, and a school where women are groomed to go into one of two roles: to run a husband’s household or raise his children. Daniela is the top of her class, but has a secret.

Anything that leaves me in SUCH suspense with their description is a MUST read.

 

10. What We Buried by Kate A. Boorman

Release Date: February 26, 2019

This cover gives me tingly M.C. Escher vibes.

I saved the BEST cover for last…but also because it comes out the latest in February…so..

It’s about two siblings that couldn’t be more different, and who don’t have a keen fondness for one other. One if the siblings, Liv, decides to sue her parents for emancipation but on the day of the hearing the parents disappear. It’s in the mystery “aisle”, but I’m wondering what type it will be. Will there just be a wild hunt where the siblings bond? A murder?!?! A twist of all twists? Oh, the anticipation!

I hope you guys found some new reads for your overflowing TBR lists, and some you plan on reading in February!

As always, stay witchy my amazing readers!!
