Top Ten Books I Will Definitely Be Preordering

Every time I tell myself, "Val, you should preorder some books, maybe one book a month. Because YOU CAN and YOU HAVE the money too". And you know what happens? Well I don't end up preordering the books. This time though, I will be making a list and holding it against myself. I would preorder them all now, but I don't have my new address yet. YET.

Also, I have not done a TTT since February. Wow.


I actually have no idea whether Nevernight will be my kind of book, but there is just so much hype surrounding it. Also I'm most likely going to be preordering this through TBD, because COVER.

Alchemists of Loom by Elise Kova just recently had its cover revealed, and I will read anything she writes, so that is an automatic preorder. If you haven't checked out Air Awakens by her, you should do so! I believe the ebook is under $5 or so!

I may not be preordering Crooked Kingdom, but rather the box set that also includes Six of Crows. I just really want the red and black pages let's be honest ahahha. I mean I love the story too, don't get me wrong!

I have a vague sense of what When The Moon Was Ours is about. Either way, I hear it is magical realism, has LGBT themes, and is multicultural. Sign me up right now.

Currently reading This Savage Song and loving it. I also have it preordered for about $8 (depending on tax) from Amazon. So if you have NOT gotten in on this deal, I suggest you do right now. I am a little sad I won't be at home when I get it, but that's okay.

Shannon said she cried while reading The Memory Book. It also has to do with forgetting and trying to remember. I need this book in my life, it was written for me. Again, sad I won't be able to read this right on July 5th, I'll have to wait until I get back from my vacation.

I will read anything by Laini Taylor. Yep. I need Strange The Dreamer in my life.

Holly raved about This Adventure Ends, so of course I am intrigued. I also really need to read Firsts by her, what am I doing with my life?

Hello there A Conjuring Of Light. I preordered A Darker Shade of Magic, A Gathering of Shadows, no doubt I will do the same for the final book. 

Lastly, I absolutely love David Arnold, and he's pretty much become an auto buy author. Which is why I will be needing Kids of Appetite. And that other new novel he announced which won't get to me until 2018. 

How about you? Will you be preordering anything? Should *I* preorder anything else? (Don't say all the books)

I have to confess I'm so bad at pre-ordering books. I'm just so bad at keeping up with all the new stuff coming out.

Kids of Appetite looks really interesting. I'm looking forward to some reviews!

Same here! I'm really hoping it's just as good as his other book!
I just pre-ordered This Savage Song and took advantage of that sale. I'll have to take a closer look at Nevernight.

Yes that sale was great! I don't think I would have bought it if it wasn't so cheap. And I've heard Nevernight is good but I'm also seeing mixed reviews of it so decisions decisions.
I am super pumped about Kids of Appetite and This Adventure Ends. I never preorder though because $$ and I try to wait for sales :) I just got Dave Arnold's other book which I have been meaning to read forever.

I loved Mosquitoland so I hope you do too! I also usually never preorder, but for the past year I've been wanting to pre-order one book a month since it won't kill my wallet. But I never end up doing that haha
This is a great list! I have a little problem with actually reading books after I pre-order them. I will only be pre-ordering books that have swag for pre-orders I do want to read and eventually own all of these books though.

I love have more and more preorders come with swag! I surprisingly have read most of my preorders! But usually wayyy after they have been released hahah.
True story, I pre-ordered half of these already 😂 Crooked Kingdom, TSS, Conjuring Light (even though I still have not read AGOS). LIke, I have problems. I have on current pre-order.. the books i mentioned, Beauty of Darkness, Like a River Glorious, Frost Like Night or whatever it is, Scythe, umm I know there are lots more that I'm forgetting. Your best friend is driving me insane at the moment soooo yeah.

I preordered the box set for Crooked Kingdom (and Six of Crows) BUT I NEED TO REMEMBER TO CHANGE THE ADDRESS hahaha.

Wait, did you ever read Ice Like Fire?

Say hello to my best friend for me <3
I normally don't preorder anything unless it comes with a bonus offer. But that soC box set is definitely on my list, it's so freaking gorgeous! I can't wait to read Nevernight but I'll read closer to release date. Lovely post Val!

I'm so excited for that box set! I have it preordered and set to my parents address, because I just couldn't wait to find out what my new address will be haha.
I'm reading Nevernight at the moment Val and wow, if you love sassy and strong protagonists in fantasy, you'll absolutely love it. It's mature YA too and don't hold back on the cursing. The MC even drops the C bomb Several times. I was lucky enough to have a friend send me one of the UK STD samplers and holy shit, I can't wait to get my hands on a copy either. It's going to be absolutely epic. I still haven't read SOC, it's one of those hyped books that I think I want to wait until the build up dies down before getting stuck into the series. Those coloured pages sound absolutely divine!

I'm now pumped up for Nevernight yesss! I absolutely love sassy strong protagonists so I'm sure I will love it!! Haha maybe you should read SoC when the whole series comes out? Though I have no idea how many books that will be haha. Let's be honest I'm only for it because of the colored pages ;)
This Adventure Ends. ME TOO. I love that frosting paint looking cover. AHH First & Then is SO GOOD.

When The Moon Was Ours sounds soooo good and I still need to read Anna's debut. Because magical realism is fab. I preorder books literally a week before their publication date. No lie. Ummm, I'm dying to preorder to Heartless, The Regulars & A Secret of A Heart Note, though.

I know I just want to eat it! Just kidding, I really like how good it looks. And I haven't read First & Then!! Which I should!

I have to read her debut too! And I really have no excuse because I have a copy of it. I need everything by Stacey Lee so I'll most likely also be buying A Secret of A Heart Note!
