It's almost cruel, in my humble opinion, to release a book for pre-order months before it will actually hit shelves. Look at this! the author shrieks, waving a promotional bookmark in your face, I wrote something you are going to love! But I'm not going to give it to you yet. I'm going to make you w a i t.
As you can probably tell, I'm not a fan. That doesn't, however, mean that I don't participate in this evil practice. My Amazon cart and wishlist are already holding some upcoming titles for me and will continue to do so until the book actually comes out in ten billion years.
Here's what I got.
An Absolutely Remarkable Thing - Hank Green
I have been a John Green fan ever since I first read A Fault in Our Stars and have loved Hank Green just as much since I discovered the Vlog Brothers YouTube channel. Hank is an incredibly creative and intelligent person, as seen in his videos, songs, etc, so I'm excited to see how that will take novel form. Honestly, I don't know what the book is actually about, but I'm overeager to give it a chance given my love for the Green brothers.
City of Bones - Victoria Schwab
You'd think a girl raised by ghost hunters would have enough of spooks and spirits to last a lifetime by the time she hit middle school, but Cass is only getting started. Ever since she almost drowned as a kid, she has been able to move in and out of the spirit world as well as talk to the dead. Her best friend is even a ghost! She thinks she knows it all until she meets another girl with the same gift, and realizes there is much still to learn. She also learns how dangerous the spirit world can truly be.
I've only read V. E. Schwab titles (the name she uses for young adult books), so I'm looking forward to reading something different. Even though it is technically a middle-grade book, it sounds fascinating and is a step away from the complete fantasy world of A Darker Shade of Magic. Also, the cover is dope as hell. Sue me.
Vengeful - V. E. Schwab
Another book by my author muse V. E. Schwab, Vengeful is the sequel to Vicious, which came out earlier this year. First off, publishing multiple books in one year is incredibly impressive. Vicious is currently waiting on my TBR list (sitting up on my favorites shelf with ADSOM and Jurassic Park) but I definitely want to have it read by the time Vengeful comes out in September. The book follows two college roommates who meet up after one of them has escaped from prison to find that the other is trying to eradicate the Earth from all super-powered-people. Of course, I was already going to read this one, (because I love V. E. Schwab, did I mention that?) but even without that bit, the plot sounds fascinating. Give it a look, I'm not doing it justice.
Gmorning, Gnight!: Little Pep Talks For Me & You - Lin Manuel Miranda
A collection of Lin Manuel Miranda's inspiring tweets packed together in a book with pictures. I think that is reason enough to pre-order this lil guy.

So, yeah. Check them out. Join me in my suffering as I wait for what should be incredible stories to finally grace the world with their brilliance. Or at least with pretty covers. You can find all of these on Amazon.
