Hi hello and welcome to day 11 of #Project14Lists! Today, I am going to be talking about some of the 2019 ARCs that are on my wishlist! Just a disclaimer, I don't know if all of these books are going to have ARCs (which, if you don't know what an ARC is it's an Advance Reader Copy meaning it's an unedited early copy of a book that is distributed to various people for early reviewing purposes) but I'm really hoping that they do because I'm so excited to read them. So, don't hold me to anything and get your hopes up that there will be an ARC of something when there may or may not be. This is simply my wishlist for 2019 ARCs! Let's get started!
_________________________________________________________________________________

5. Recursion by Blake Crouch- I read Dark Matter by Blake Crouch in 2016 and absolutely loved it so as soon as I found out that he was releasing another book that had more science-y stuff like Dark Matter had, I knew I had to get an ARC if there are any!
6. Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff- Okay, is this really surprising though? I'm trash for anything Jay Kristoff and this author duo is one of my absolute favorites so yeah, it's safe to say that I'm dying to get an ARC of this.


7. The Ruin of Kings by Jenn Lyons- I actually was lucky enough to get on a blog tour for this book so I have an ARC already, but it was definitely on my list before I got it in the mail. I can't even begin to describe how excited I am for this and I keep reading the synopsis over and over again because holy crap it is SO COOL.
8. The Beautiful by Renee Ahdieh- It's a book about vampires. I don't need to know anything else beyond that (although the synopsis sounds really cool and the poke at Twilight made me laugh) and I'm really hoping that there are ARCs of this so that I can try and get one!

Hi hello and welcome to day six of #Project14Lists! Today, I'm going to be talking about some of my favorite book covers that have been revealed for 2019 releases! There are already so many incredible books that are coming out next year with some covers that I just cannot get over and I am so excited to share these. As with pretty much all of my lists, these are in no particular order or anything like that. I will warn you that there are 32 covers so prepare for a lot of images. Let's get started!
_________________________________________________________________________________


1. The Wicked King by Holly Black- I feel like I haven't shut up about this book (at least mentally) but I mean, it's incredible. And this cover is so significant once you've read the book and just all of my yes and my love goes to this cover. Especially the B&N exclusive edition!
2. Wicked Saints by Emily A. Duncan- One of my favorite books of 2018 (and most anticipated releases for 2019 because I need this finished copy in all its glory) and this cover is just SO PRETTY on the manuscript, ARC, and FC. I mean, look at that turquoise foil. Hashtag cover goals.


8. Never-Contented Things by Sarah Porter- Whatever this is about, I already know I'm going to love it just based off of the cover. I know, it's superficial and don't judge a book by its cover and all that, but LOOK AT HOW CREEPY AND BEAUTIFUL IT IS.







22. Song of the Dead by Sarah Glenn Marsh- It's no secret that I loved Reign of the Fallen when I read it earlier this year and I absolutely ADORE the pastel pink of that book. So when I saw the pastel blue of the sequel, I just cried. I wish I was joking, but I actually did.

And that's it for day six of #Project14Lists! I know I started off talking about the book covers and didn't really talk about all of them but there were 32 of them and that's a lot of covers to talk about! But I really enjoyed putting this together because it made me realize what my aesthetic is when it comes to book covers. It seems mostly dark and gritty books are what captures my attention the most? And then we have the last two which are completely different and show my secret rainbow pastel loving side. Or something. But this was so much fun to see all put together! What are some covers that you're excited for in 2019? Let me know in the comments so that I can find some new books or so that we can talk about how much we love the same covers! Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you tomorrow for another day of #Project14Lists!

Hi hello and welcome to the Halloween Book Tag! Yes, I know it's only September. No, it's not too early to be posting this. Halloween is my favorite holiday and I always start getting into the mood to read horror/spooky books around...well, I'm always reading those kinds of books! But when September hits, something awakens in my soul and screams Halloween, so here we are. This tag was created by TheLibraryofSarah so be sure and go check out her video! Let's get spooky!
_________________________________________________________________________________

1. Favorite horror book?

This was a tough one but I absolutely love The Girl From the Well by Rin Chupeco. I read a lot of mixed reviews on it before I actually picked it up, but I am so glad I finally sat down and read it. It's definitely spooky and gory and those are two things that I love in a good horror book. This is actually a YA book but it gave me a good spook every so often! The sequel, The Suffering, is set in one of my favorite haunted locations- Aokigahara, also known as the Suicide Forest in Japan. I just love both of these books so much and am definitely due for a re-read this season!

2. Scariest moment in a book you've read?

I don't get spooked easily when it comes to books, but Gerald's Game by Stephen King freaked me the heck out. I don't want to give away any spoilers for those that haven't read this book yet, but all I will say is I don't do well with dark corners in my room anymore. 

3. Would you/have you ever dressed up as a book character for Halloween?

For those that may not know, I'm also a cosplayer! I actually recently made Mia Corvere's outfit from the Darkdawn cover for a convention (but then worked too hard and didn't actually wear it oops) in Atlanta. So, yes, I would definitely dress up as a book character for Halloween!

4. What do you think your favorite character would dress up as for Halloween?

Sallot Leon, my precious amazing gender-fluid assassin, would probably dress up like an assassin. I'd lean towards Edward Kenway from Assassin's Creed: Black Flag. Mostly because I think that Sal running around as a pirate would be the best ever.

5. What is your favorite kind of horror? (gore, psychological thriller, spooky)

Honestly, I love all types of horror. But I really love all-out gore fests. The more blood, the better. Although, I can get behind a good psychological thriller. Please give me a book that just messes with my mind and turns everything I thought I knew upside down! No really, I'm open to recommendations. 

6. If books were as cheap as candy, which ones would you give out to trick-or-treaters?

Goosebumps! I had a huge collection of them (and now I want to figure out where they went because y'all, these are classics) and used to love watching the TV show. These are a great intro to some spooky books that aren't too scary but will definitely get you interested in more horror related reads!

7. Halloween to-read list?

Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake
What the Woods Keep by Katya de Becerra
Vicious/Vengeful by V.E. Schwab
Watch the Girls by Jennifer Wolfe

These are just a few of the books I plan to read during this spooky season!

8. Recommend some Halloween reads!
