Athena Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Hi everyone! I thought I'd make a topic and see if there are any books coming out in the remainder of 2019 that you're really excited for? Alternatively, what are some books you're hoping to get around to before the year is over? I'd love to know :). As for myself, for me personally, the #1 release I'm excited for, is Ik zie er zo normaal uit by Elise Cordaro. This is a Dutch memoir, of the author living with autism and ADHD. I don't know much about this book and haven't been able to find a lot about it, and yet I really want to read it so I have it pre-ordered. The pre-order date actually got moved back from June to September, according to the Dutch webshop I've pre-ordered it on. Anyway, this is personally a book I'm looking forward to reading, because I hope I'll find a lot to relate to (since I am autistic and have ADD (no H)). Other than that though, there are plenty of other book releases I'm excited for (new releases as well as some books being out in medium size paperback but previously being published in hardcover and as e-book, and a couple of e-books too). I got quite a few books I'm hoping to read the rest of the year, but for some I'm just wiating for the right mood (because I'm such a mood reader).

Onion Budgie Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I have a couple. A Lovely View of Sea by Michael Carson is coming out at the end of this month. I've followed this author since his first novel, way back in 1988. I'm excited to see what this new work of his is all about. He has a light, whimsical sense of humour which I'm fond of. I'm also looking forward to Heartstopper Vol. 2 by Alice Oseman, which is an LGBTQ+ graphic novel due out in early July. Those are the only two I can think of right now! I imagine the rest of 2019 will also see me ploughing through a couple more Agatha Christies, because I find them such wonderful comfort reads.

Hayley Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I'm looking forward to The October Man by Ben Aaronovitch, which should be out on the 13th June I think. It's a novella from the Rivers of London series, so not quite as exciting as a full novel, but still exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lau_Lou Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I don't often tend to keep up with new books but I have added a few that have been/are to be released this month (June) City Of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert Recursion by Blake Crouch I'll Never Tell by Catherine McKenzie. About books I am hoping to get to this year. I would like to read more classics. In particular pre 1900 as well as perhaps finishing the Chronicles of Narnia. I only have two more books in the series. The rest I guess will be whatever catches my eye at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayley Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I can't believe I forgot that The Secret Commonwealth (The Book of Dust Volume Two) by Phillip Pullman is out this year! It should be out on October 3rd and I've just pre-ordered the signed slipcase edition from Waterstones! I can't wait to see it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willoyd Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Hilary Mantel's third volume about Thomas Cromwell is out soon - looking forward to that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 March 2020 I think? The cover is gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that Waterstones has a mysterious clothbound version available too. It still says 'final cover to be revealed.' I've just realised that Laura Purcell's new book Bone China is out in a couple of days and that looks really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
