I'll be listing a few winter 2019 releases I'm excited for on Tuesday for Top Ten Tuesday, but I couldn't fit them all in one post, so here's some to start y'all off!

1. The Vanishing Stair by Maureen Johnson (1/22/19)

I think it surprises people that I enjoy mysteries? I don't read a lot of them (mostly because most YA ones end up being thrillers, and I can't always get into that), but Truly Devious took me by surprise, and I'm so excited for its sequel.


2. Dark of the West by Joanna Hathaway (2/5/19)

It's like fantasy-meets-history. Heck yes.


3. Lady Smoke by Laura Sebastian (2/5/19)

I'm super eager to see what happens next.


4. On the Come Up by Angie Thomas (2/5/19)

I mean, obviously.

5. The Queen's Resistance by Rebecca Ross (3/5/19)
It's the sequel to a book I very much enjoyed this year.


6. If You're Out There by Katy Loutzenhiser (3/5/19)
Lizzy Mason raved about this book to me one day, so my hopes are very high.

7. When the Sky Fell on Splendor by Emily Henry (3/12/19)
I'm not a big sci-fi person, but...it's Emily Henry.


8. Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte (2/26/19)
Intriguing murder mystery fun in a fantasy world.

9. Night Music by Jenn Marie Thorne (3/19/19)
Yes, hello, I love Jenn's books so much.

What about y'all? What winter 2019 releases are you looking forward to?
