Today’s Top Ten Tuesday<\/a> asks us to share our most anticipated releases for the first half of 2019:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Early Riser<\/em> by Jasper Fforde.<\/strong> He’s coming to Politics and Prose the week of my birthday next month, so no one ask me to do anything on Feb. 18 because I am busy! (I know someone on Twitter who has read an ARC and she says it’s less thrillerish than it sounds, which is good because I was very nervous about the description.)<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  2. Angie Thomas’ On the Come Up<\/em>.<\/strong> Her The Hate U Give was the best book I read in 2017, so I’m definitely on board for her sophomore effort.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  3. Deanna Raybourn’s latest Veronica Speedwell mystery, A Dangerous Collaboration<\/em>.<\/strong> Something INTERESTING happened at the end of the last novel, so I’m excited to see where it goes.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  4. Aurora Rising<\/em> by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff.<\/strong> They have a new series!!!!! <\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  5. Elizabeth Acevedo’s With the Fire on High<\/em>.<\/strong> I’m loving The Poet X<\/em> (so much so that I nominated it for a Cybil without having finished it) and look forward to Elizabeth’s next book.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  6. Black Enough: Stories of Being Young & Black in America<\/em>, edited by Ibi Zoboi and Tracey Baptiste.<\/strong> I want to like short story collections more than I actually do and I’m a sucker for this kind that features a bunch of authors whose novels I like.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  7. Local author Kosoko Jackson has a queer historical fiction novel, A Place for Wolves<\/em>,<\/strong> coming out this spring and even though describing anything as “[X] meets Code Name Verity” sounds like it’s going to be desperately sad and therefore not my cup of tea, I want to want to read it, but this could be a game-time decision.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  8. Red, White, and Royal Blue<\/em> by Casey McQuiston.<\/strong> Okay, so I hadn’t heard of this until I started looking at publication dates, but I am all in for a romance between the First Son (his mom is President) and the Prince of Wales.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  9. Watch Us Rise<\/em> by Ren\u00c3\u00a9e Watson and Ellen Hagan.<\/strong> I enjoyed Watson’s last book and this sounds like it will carry on the themes of some of my favorite books from 2018.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  10. Rayne & Delilah’s Midnite Matinee<\/em> by Jeff Zentner.<\/strong> This YA novel sounds like it should be a wild ride.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Rainbow Rowell’s graphic novel, Pumpkinheads<\/em>, isn’t due out until the end of August, but the release date for her latest regular novel, Wayward Son<\/em>, hasn’t been announced yet, other than sometime this year. If it’s sooner, I will definitely be reading it, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
