Happy Tuesday, bloggers!
I truly believe 2019 is a stellar year for new releases. And while the first half of 2019 is over, I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that we’re half way through the year.
Top Ten Tuesday, originally created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, is a weekly meme. This week’s topic is anticipated releases in the last half of the year. I have so many to count, but I want to show off some titles I’m eagerly waiting to read. I hope you find either new reads or your favourites.
Have fun!
Spin the Dawn
Pitched as a mix of Project Runway and Mulan, Spin the Dawn has a lot to live up to. Instagram hasn’t stopped talking about it. And honestly, I have high expectations for it.
House of Salt and Sorrows
A spooky retelling is all I need in my life. I just found out about the title today. It’s giving me gothic ocean vibes. And I’m hooked. Can August hurry up already?!
Darkdawn
I need to read the first two novels before I start freaking out over the final one, right? Right? Nah, I always do this to myself. So it’s no surprise that Darkdawn has a place on this list.
Serpent & Dove
A witch on the run and a witch hunter must work together. What can go wrong? An epic start to an intriguing series, that’s what. I am eagerly hoping Serpent & Dove is an enemy-to-lovers title.
The Girl the Sea Gave Back
Adrienne surprised me with Sky in the Deep. So I had no choice in adding her next book to my TBR list. I love her writing. And I cannot wait to get back into this Viking series.
Ninth House
My Mom would question my loyalty for wanting to read two books with snakes on them. But I’m not missing out on Leigh’s new novel though. I’m thrilled but hesitant with it though. I hope her writing is different from the Grisha Trilogy but similar to the Six of Crows series.
Siobhan's Novelties 
Gideon the Ninth is on my list this week too! 😊 And I’m really excited for The Girl the Sea Gave Back.
My TTT this week.

I’ve been hearing a lot about The House of Salt and Sorrows this week and it sounds good. I was able to read an ARC of Spin the Dawn and I thought it was good. Gotta read Ninth House too!

Everyone seems to be looking forward to Ninth House. Too bad I don’t read that genre.

I’m hopeful that Bardugo’s writing will be less like her YA novels and something else entirely for Ninth House. I think we’ve got a pretty good chance with that and that it’ll lean more towards Six of Crows. Great picks! This year is truly throwing a lot of good our way.
