Sometimes it's really hard for me to keep track of what comes out what month, especially while juggling early reviews and publisher catalogues and all the other confusing bookish things bloggers deal with. It's just a LOT OF BOOKS ALL THE TIME. How do you ever keep them straight?! So on the last day of the month, I post a guide to what books I'm most looking forward to in the following month and that you should keep an eye on. So, since it's the (second to) last day in September, here are the October releases most tempting me:
Books of the month:
Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater: October 21st

What if Sherlock was the boy next door? What if Sherlock was the boy next door? What if Sherlock was the boy next door?

ReplyDeleteHahaha but seriously, the amount of amazing new releases in October are crazy. SLA I've read but preordered because high fantasy makes me a happy girl indeed. The Young Elites is something that I'm definitely going to have to read. And also In the Afterlight. October 28th. Aka, the day it ends. How will I survive reading in October ?!!!!

ReplyDelete"What if Sherlock was the boy next door? What if Sherlock was the boy next door? What if Sherlock was the boy next door?" <---you have grasped the key point. Also this book is fantastic. Disclaimer, it is possible my strong emotional ties to the BBC show have blinded me but NOPE NO NOOOOPE EXCELLENCE.
There are other books on this list that I wanted to comment on because you have fabulous taste and want all the excellent things but I suddenly need to go read all the Sherlock fic.
