This week’s theme from That Artsy Reader Girl is about upcoming releases for the rest of 2020! There’s so much to look forward to, but let’s see if I can remember some of the highlights…
- A Deadly Education, by Naomi Novik. I just got an e-ARC in the last couple of weeks, so this one leapt to mind. I always find Novik’s work enjoyable and unputdownable (even when I have serious reservations about it as well), and a magical school story hits a spot for me.
- Seven Devils, by Elizabeth May and Laura Lam. I’ve been looking forward to this since I first heard about it… and I have an e-ARC of this, too. Yep, I’m spoiled! Feminist space opera — seven resistance fighters against the Empire. Classic.
- Ring Shout, by P. Djèlí Clark. I’ve loved his novellas, so I am super excited for this. It’s dark fantasy woven into the history of the US; I worry I might miss some stuff because I’m not American and not particularly interested in American history, but I’m ready to be schooled!
- Where Dreams Descend, by Janella Angeles. Compared to Phantom of the Opera with a touch of The Night Circus? I’m innnn.
- Master of Poisons, by Andrea Hairston. I’ve been meaning to read Hairston’s work forever, and this apparently uses a lot of African folktales? Sounds fascinating!
- The Relentless Moon, by Mary Robinette Kowal. I will shame-facedly admit that I haven’t read The Fated Sky, because my brain is just a stupid place sometimes, but I let my wife read my ARC of The Relentless Moon and she outright tore through it.
- Cemetery Boys, by Aiden Thomas. Trans Latinx teen accidentally summons the wrong ghost! I’m in.
- The Lefthanded Booksellers of London, by Garth Nix. A Garth Nix book is always a good time, and anything to do with books is a winner to me.
- Black Sun, by Rebecca Roanhorse. I don’t actually know much about this yet, but though I have some problems with Trail of Lightning and the sequel, they made for really addictive reading. I’m looking forward to this!
- Boyfriend Material, by Alexis Hall. It sounds so deliciously tropey and fun, and it’s out very very soon!
How about you? What’re you looking forward to?
All of these sound so amazing! Pretty much all of them are on my tbr.
I’m pretty excited about the rest of the year, not gonna lie!
Master of Poisons sounds amazing. I can’t wait to read it.

Same! I have an ARC, but with how overloaded I am, I wonder if I’m going to get to it…
I’m seeing Cemetery Boys everywhere today! I may have to pick that one up. 🙂 I hope you enjoy all of these!

It sounds so fun, right?!
I am so excited for A Deadly Education and The Black Sun!
Yesss. I can’t wait!
I interest with A Deadly Education. Should check this book then.
It sounds like a lot of fun! 🙂
I’m counting the days until Relentless Moon is released! And I’m really excited for A Deadly Education too. So many great choices – enjoy!
I think it’s soon, right? I reaaaaally have to get back to The Fated Sky.
Great list. Boyfriend Material sounds like a lot of fun, and I also like the sounds of The Lefthanded Booksellers of London.
I’m really excited for them! 😀
Yep, got my eye on The Relentless Moon so I better get to The Fated Sky too! And I’m very very interested in Black Sun – like you, I had reservations about Trail of Lightning, but I liked enough to give Rebecca Roanhorse’s work another whirl.

I’m glad it’s not just me who is behind on Kowal! And yeah: Trail of Lightning didn’t wow me totally, but it was pretty compulsive reading…
