Oh dear, the theme this week is books you’re looking forward to in the second half of 2017, and I’ve no idea. But here’s some 2017 books I don’t have yet and really really want.
- Our Dark Duet, by V.E. Schwab. I got an ARC of the first book and read it instantly, so I have been waiting far too long now. Gimme!
- Shattered Minds, by Laura Lam. I have an ARC of this one and I’ve started it, but I can tell already that I’m going to want to talk about it. Get thee to a preorder, friends.
- The Thorn of Emberlain, by Scott Lynch. I don’t know if this is even scheduled for 2017. All I know is, I want it badly.
- Solutions and Other Problems, by Allie Brosh. Hyperbole and a Half is the best. Okay, Amazon says 2017, but the publisher says 2050 (i.e. delayed indefinitely). But I can dream.
- The Stone Sky, by N.K. Jemisin. I should catch up with this series. The new book coming out is probably going to make sure I do.
- Provenance, by Ann Leckie. I didn’t even know this was coming before a week or two ago, but now I am definitely excited.
- The Witchwood Crown, by Tad Williams. Yessss. The original series were great epic fantasy, so I have high hopes.
- The Tiger’s Daughter, by K. Arsenault Rivera. This sounds awesome and has queer heroines. Gimme! (I’m making eyes at Tor on Netgalley, here; I haven’t been accepted or rejected for the ARC yet.)
- Taste of Marrow, by Sarah Gailey. Gimme, gimme, gimme! I loved River of Teeth a lot more than I expected.
- Lightning in the Blood, by Marie Brennan. Wait. This is out today…
That’s me disappearing off to read, folks! But do comment and let me know what you’re looking forward to. I always try and return comments!
Great list! The Tiger’s Daughter and The Stone Sky made my list this week, too. =) I still haven’t read any Schwab or Lynch, but I hear such great things about them I really am going to have to give them a try soon.

They have some great books! I do recommend them.
Lynch and Schwab! I can’t say no to more of them!
Exaaactly!
A lot of these are new to me – I have to get to This Savage Song first before I can read Our Dark Duet!

It’s good! I do recommend it!
I’m so desperate for Our Dark Duet! I think I might have to reread This Savage Song just to deal with the waiting. I haven’t heard of your other choices, so I’m gonna have to go research on goodreads!

I might reread This Savage Song to refresh my memory! It’s been tooo looooong.
I still need to read This Savage Song (I’ve been waiting for the sequel), and cannot wait for Solutions and Other Problems. Great list!
Wise move, I think! I hate having to wait for the next book in a series, but I keep on doing it to myself.
Oh my, River of Teeth sequel already has a name? I gotta catch up quick! And I’m also with you wondering where and when we might get the next Scott Lynch book.

I can wait for Scott Lynch’s next book, knowing about his mental health problems… but I wish I could look into the future and know when!
I never pay much attention to the new releases coming up expect the next book in a series I follow. For the most part I amble along and rely on other blogs to tell me about new books that I like the sound of, or an Amazon rec! I plan to check out River of Teeth at some point and I just love the name of the sequel!
I’m terrible at keeping track, but following blogs does seem to help!
