I’ve been waiting forever to buy these books. Ah! Okay, clearly I didn’t have a huge haul for these two months, but I’m giddy to see them in the mail.
January
Caraval by Stephanie Garber
I’ve read a lot of raving reviews for this book. And each one just solidifies my need to buy Caraval. The story has intrigued me from the first day I heard about it. It is my first carnival-themed novel, so I wasn’t sure if I’d like. I was wrong. I love it. Caraval is one of my favourite books for 2017!
I’m tempted to buy a UK edition, too. The book designs are simply beautiful!

King’s Cage by Victoria Aveyard
Queen Victoria, you bless us with another enthralling story….And now I sound obsessed. Great.
I can’t wait for this book! I’ve been waiting for a good year or more. And while I saw the betrayal coming, Victoria’s debut novel just sparked something in me.
Victoria is an outspoken author, but that trait draws me to her books. And I hope that her views will translate into some interesting stories!

Wintersong by S. Jae-Jones
I can’t get over that Sarah, aka JJ, expands on the Goblin King universe! And I’ve been drooling over this cover for months. I have huge hopes for Wintersong. And I love how she incorporates German folklore. She also draws a lot of inspiration from Jim Henson’s Labyrinth, which is one of my most beloved movies. It contains layers and undertones in each shot, so I expect nothing less for Sarah’s debut novel.

A Darkness Absolute by Kelley Armstrong
Not too long ago, I finished reading City of the Lost, but I can’t even enough of it. Kelley weaves in these dark and twisted arcs that just hook you from the very start. This series is a departure from her fantasy realm, but she has touched on mystery, thriller, and crime in her other series, though. So I have a feeling this book will ignite a new love. City of the Lost is definitely one of favourites!

You’ve got some great reading coming up! I really liked A Darkness Absolute (not quite as much as CotL though) and I’ve heard nothing but good things about Wintersong. Goblins get a bad rap in fantasy so I think it’s cool that we’re seeing one in a romantic role!

Agreed. I’m still reading that book. It’s a middle book, so I wasn’t expecting huge events in it, though. But the story itself is rather good.
Oh, great! I think I’m just thrilled to get more Underground and Goblin King stories. I wonder what he’ll look like.
