Most Anticipated Books for the Second Half of 2020

I'm mostly focusing on books I already have or am reading for book clubs, but there are a few latter 2020 releases I'm excited about, whether or not I get to read them this year!

Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl!

Most Anticipated Book Releases for the Second Half of 2020

 1. To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini

I enjoyed the Eragon series as a whole, and I'm eager to see how his writing has developed.

2. The Bone Shard Daughter by Andrea Stewart

I read and enjoyed an excerpt, so I'm interested in this story of a female heir to a magical kingdom.

3. Burning Roses by S.L. Huang

I'm intrigued by a story about an adult Red Riding Hood .

4. The Factory Witches of Lowell by C.S. Malerich

History + magic. I'm in.

5. The Stars and the Blackness Between Them by Junauda Petrus

This just came out, but I'm counting it. Two girls, one from Trinidad, one from the American MidWest, falling in love. Happy Pride!

I hadn't heard of the first one before now, but as someone who was never that interested in the Eragon series, I'm curious to see how he does for a YA audience with a different premise.

Book Review: The Speed of Clouds by Miriam Seidel

Book Review: The Speed of Clouds by Miriam Seidel *To Be Released from New Door Books on April 10, 2018* Mindy Vogel is haunted by the future. In frequent daydreams, she toggles between her real, wheelchair-bound life and the adventurous life of her fanfic alter ego, SkyLog officer Kat Wanderer. She's haunted by all that Kat can do which she cannot---belong to an organization of comrades, walk, and fall in love---yet. Because at twenty-four, Mindy's future is very much ahead of her, wheelchair notwithstanding. Through Mindy's "SkyLog" fanzine and related emails, Seidel evokes Star Trek fandom around the turn of the millenium, but also creates a new and compelling science fictional universe, similar to what Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl  does for the Harry Potter fandom with "Simon Snow."

Books with Single-Word Titles

Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl! Books with Single-Word Titles These are all my favorite books that I could think of with one-word titles. A lot of fantasy, a few nonfiction (minus subtitles) and Kindred , whether you consider it scifi or historical fiction. Also two portmanteaus using the word "bitter." I suppose it's a word that lends itself to amelioration. 1. Sweetbitter by Stephanie Danler 2. Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore 3. Fire by Kristin Cashore 4. Heartless by Marissa Meyer 5. Inheritance by Christopher Paolini 6. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius 7. Stoned by Aja Raden (has a subtitle) 8. Educated by Tara Westover 9. Fledgling by Octavia Butler 10. Kindred by Octavia Butler
