Back in January I wrote about which books I was most excited about this year. I only went up through June because there just wasn't much information about books that were being released after that.

There are some great books coming out this month! I realize I mostly read SF/F and YA, but I think both of those genres have such talent and scope. What books are you look forward to this month? Let me know in the comments! 1) Blood for Blood - Ryan Graudin Release date: 1 November Sequel to Wolf by Wolf , this book picks up right where the first left off. Set in an alternate history where Germany and Japan won WWII, Yael is a shapeshifter who entered a cross-continental race with the objective to kill Hitler. Since failing at that, she's on the run, but she's learned that there are others out there like her. 2) The Sun is Also a Star - Nicola Yoon Release date: 1 November Natasha is cynic and Daniel is a romantic; they meet one fateful day on the streets of New York City. Is it love at first sight? This one has gotten a LOT of hype, so I'm interested to see if it lives up to that. 3) Timekeeper - Tara Sim Release date: 8 November Set in an alt...

September is looking like THE month for book publications! Here are 5 books that I'm looking forward to: 1) The Reader - Traci Chee Release date: 13 September I've heard a lot of hype about this book and the premise sounds interesting. A world where reading is illegal. After Sefia's father is murdered, she finds the only thing that holds the answers is a strange, rectangular object he left behind--a book. 2) A Shadow Bright and Burning - Jessica Cluess Release date: 20 September Again, a book that has received a lot of attention. Henrietta Howel is the first female sorcerer in a hundred years and has been heralded as the Chosen One. Except she isn't. But she can't let them know. 3) Three Dark Crowns - Kendare Blake Release date: 20 September I love Kendare Blake and everything she's ever written, so when I heard about this new series I was beyond excited. Besides that, the story sounds very intriguing. And, knowing Blake, it will b...
