I always forget that I thought 'Petticoats' sounded cute back when it released, and recently I've heard that Radio Silence is an amazing read. Hope you enjoy all of these, Kelly! :)
ReplyDeleteI meant to read it when it came out, I was really looking forward to Y.S. Lee's story and then I just... never picked it up? So it really is about time that I pick it up! It's good to hear that Radio Silence went well for you, I'm really looking forward to picking it up (which possibly begs the question why I haven't already).
DeleteOh, so many of these are on my backlist. I really want to get to Jane Unlimited and Poppy War.

I'm really looking forward to Jane, Unlimited! I did purchase a copy, and then it got lost in the mail, and I had to figure out that tangle and then I... never read it.
DeleteOoh I loved Radio Silence! And The Calculating Stars look good too.
ReplyDeleteI never did read the Falconer- ack! I remember when that came out, I was so excited...
I know, I was really looking forward to The Falconer (in... 2013, was it? Goodness) and then I didn't wind up picking it up. I've managed to get it out of the library so hopefully that'll happen soon.
DeleteI can not get over the Children of Blood and Bone cover. It is breathtaking. Hope you get to enjoy these reads in 2019, Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteIt's a stunning cover! I'm really looking forward to picking it up at some point (I preordered it and then promptly didn't pick it up and now it's a whole thing...)
DeleteI have done that once or twice!! It happened by accident that I was not able to go get it, but it was available at the library branch I normally go to, so I canceled the hold request and resubmitted it, and got it. Whew!
DeleteI'll probably pick it up when I have the time and focus to really dive in... I actually have my own copy and it's just sitting there on the shelf, waiting for me whenever I'm ready.
DeleteMuse of Nightmares is on my list, too. I loved Strange the Dream so much! My TTT Books I meant to read last year
ReplyDeleteStrange the Dreamer was really good! I think I just need to be in the right mood to pick up Muse of Nightmares, so I've been waiting for that.
DeleteThe Poppy War sounds really good! I've seen it about a few blogs now. My TTT
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I'd have known about it without a couple of the bloggers I trust spotlighting it (I keep up much less with adult fiction), but it sounds fantastic.
Deleteoof you and me both for The Poppy War. 😂 It is kind of huge though, right?! Like I was madly putting off the thick books last year which is a problem. But I finally got through all the Falconer books and LOVE them! Also I can attest to Now I Rise, Muse of Nightmares, and Radio Silence being absolute remarkable books *heart eyes*
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like I've got a lot to look forward to! I borrowed The Poppy War once, and things got busy (and um... it is kind of a giant book), and then I didn't read it. It's been in such high demand at the library that it will probably take months before I'm able to pick it up. Possibly when I don't have classes, because it'll probably be a whole thing.
DeleteI've heard so many good things about Radio Silence. You're making me want to move it closer to the top of my TBR this year.
ReplyDeleteThis is my Top Ten Tuesday post.
I have as well! I got a copy on sale and I'm definitely (definitely) going to get to it this year. It sounds like a lovely read, when I'm in a contemporary mood.
DeleteAh Children of Blood and Bone is amazing, I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2019/01/22/top-ten-tuesday-195/
I hope so too! I've psyched it up in my head, which probably isn't ideal, but I'm hoping it'll live up to my expectations, people seem to really love it!
DeleteThe Falconer sounds interesting! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteIt's been on my TBR for quite a while now, and I've gotten a copy out of the library so I'll finally be able to check it off of the list, hopefully!
DeleteMost of these are on my TBR as well!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy hem once you get to read them :)
my TTT: https://bookishtreats.wordpress.com/2019/01/22/top-ten-tuesday-books-i-meant-to-read-in-2018-but-didnt-get-to/
Thanks for stopping by and good luck with your reading year!
DeleteA Tyranny of Petticoats is a great read! And Jessica edited another anthology that follows the same themes - The Radical Element.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: https://bookworm716.blogspot.com/2019/01/top-ten-tuesday-books-i-meant-to-read.html
I've got them both from the library right now, I'm probably going to go through them back-to-back in... hopefully the next fortnight.
DeleteI still need to get to Now I Rise and The Poppy War too. The Falconer is so good. I hope you end up enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteYour review of The Falling Kingdom was actually what put The Falconer back at the forefront of my mind! (Shame on me, honestly, it's been on my TBR since... 2013, I think?)
DeleteSo many books here I want to read or loved as well!
ReplyDeleteI hope to read A Tyranny of Petticoats soon. I want to get it in hardback; it was on my Christmas list but I didn't get it. Maybe I can get it when I get paid in February. Loved Muse of Nightmares. I have to read the And I Darken series soon, as well as The Poppy War.
I hope you're able to get a copy of A Tyranny of Petticoats soon! It really is a lovely cover, I can see why you might want to go the extra mile and get a hardcover copy.
DeleteI totally forgot about A Tyranny of Petticoats. I thought it sounded so good when it came out. Thanks for the reminder! :)
ReplyDeleteIt has retreated to the back of my mind until recently. It's actually one of by books for the Beat the Backlist challenge as well (that made my list for this week easier, actually). Hope you get a chance to pick it up soon!
DeleteI haven't read Muse of Nightmares yet either...i"m so WORRIED? The ending of Strange the Dreamer was so intense I just need to sit with it for awhile 🤣
ReplyDeleteI know! It's kind of intimidating to start the book after that super high drama ending. I'm still really looking forward to picking it up at some point this year, though...
DeleteI've got The Poppy War on my tbr and I can't wait to read it! :)
ReplyDeleteCheck out my TTT and my ARC review of Enchantée by Gita Trelease
It sounds fantastic, doesn't it? I hope we're both able to pick it up soon!
DeleteI need to read Poppy War too! And I really would like to finally read The Falconer too. I think I've owned it for 3 years. lol
ReplyDeleteTime flies when you're staring down a towering TBR list.(That's the saying, right? I think that's the saying.)
DeleteI adored The Poppy War, so I hope you enjoy it when you do get to it! And, well, all of these books too! Cos there are so many intriguing titles on here. Ugh, so many books so little time!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I've heard so many good things, I'm really looking forward to whenever I have the chance to pick it up (library hold lists...) Hopefully we're both able to find new favourites this year (even if, you're right, we all just have to deal with the reality that we won't be getting to everything).
DeleteOh this is a lovely list! I have read and LOVED Radio Silence so, so much, I hope you will too. I also really liked Children of Blood and Bone :)
ReplyDeleteHappy reading! <3
It's wonderful to hear that they were both great! Definitely looking forward to reading them!
