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 now OCTOBER!!!, here are the October releases most tempting me.
Book of the month:
Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
October 20th
THIS BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK. Read it, know it, be deeply betrayed, lose your soul, feel your every emotion leak through your fingertips into the swirling void, become intimately acquainted with the empty darkness within you, pour yourself a stiff drink, recommend it to your friends, love it.

Love these kinds of posts! But ... why July and not October? ;) (Feel free to delete this comment, I just wanted to give you a heads up!)
ReplyDeleteWhoops, haha! I use a template for these posts, just copy and pasting the intro paragraph, and sometimes I forget to change it. My bad. Thanks for the heads up!
DeleteI have These Shallow Graves to review, can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks really good, doesn't it?
DeleteSO MANY WONDERFUL BOOKS THIS MONTH. I'm slightly overwhelmed because sooo many good books to read. I'm very excited about Illuminae. I love books set in space. Emerald's Newt will be my first Garth Nix book and I hope I'll love it. I should because I'm a sucker for ladies masquerading as dudes and kicking ass.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for to Black Widow: Forever Red (though hesitant because I don't really like Margaret Stohl's writing) and Welcome to Night Vale.
Illluminae was EPIC. I hope you love it like I did! Garth Nix was so seminal to my childhood <333
DeleteSO MANY BOOKS I WANT AND NEED IN OCTOBER WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!! And crap I feel like I am rather being on my ARCs and reading and stuff!!
ReplyDeleteIlluminaeeeee!! I'm getting a signed copy of this one next month and I'm not letting myself re-read till then but ILLUMINAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
