My Most Anticipated March Releases
Hello everybody! Today, since it’s now the end of another month (February has felt so short compared to January!), I’m going to be sharing my most anticipated releases of March. Onto the post!
My Most Anticipated February Releases
Hello everybody! Today, I’m going to be talking about all of my most anticipated releases for February (I’m so happy it is finally February tomorrow because dear God January has lasted a century!), and the reasons why I want to read them. Onto the post!
<!–more–>
The Star-Spun Web– the main reason I want to read this is that I loved the author’s debut the Eye of the North, but if it hadn’t been on my radar already there are several things that would have put it in on this list. First up, have you SEEN the cover? What a beauty it is, especially as it’s my favourite colour too. Also, the history/fantasy mix sounds really interesting, and I am never not up for a great animal companion (you have no idea how much I’m hoping for Violet to be somewhat Charlotte-esque!). Finally, my friend Louise had an early copy and has let me know I’m in the acknowledgements (I’ve never been in a book’s acknowledgements before and I’m thrilled!), so I’m even more excited to finally have it in my hands now that I know that.
When We Were Warriors– if you’ve heard me mention Emma Carroll before then you’ll know how unashamed I am in fangirling over her books, so obviously I’m dying to read this- a collection of three World War Two stories. Two will return to settings/characters We have seen in her previous books, and if I don’t cry when I return to Frost Hollow Hall especially I’ll be gobsmacked. And if I see Tilly, someone’s going to need to peel me off the ceiling. The new character in the third story sounds great too!
Happy Girl Lucky– Holly Smale is another author I literally never shut up about. The Geek Girl series means a vast amount to me, and while I am extremely nervous to read something from Holly that is not that series, I am also incredibly excited. It’s about three sisters, and specifically Hope in this book, and I think it focuses on her trying to find love? I deliberately haven’t read too much about it. I have so much faith in Holly that I am almsot certain I will fall just as hard and fast for these new characters as I did for the cast of Geek Girl, and there is no doubt that it will make me laugh a lot.
Call Me Alastair– this book is about a parrot named Alastair as he is separated from his sister when they’re bought by different people, and him attempting to reuinite them. I’m a little bit wary of the poetry mention in the blurb, and I’m a bit nervous about Alastair being the narrator (at least I think he is?) but I’m optimistic about giving it a go nonetheless, and I think I might love it if it’s done well.
Jack of Hearts and Other Parts– this is about out and proud, self-proclaimed slut Jack Rothman as he’s roped into doing a relationship advice column on the school blog, and begins to recieve increasingly sinister notes from an anonymous admirer. I’ve heard that this is Simon Vs, but more sinister and a bit less innocent, and if you compare something to Simon Vs in almost any way I’m totally here for it.
Song for a Whale– I’m going to be completely honest here, I hadn’t heard of this until I saw the cover on Twitter and decided that I needed that sort of gorgeousness in my life. Luckily, the plot also sounds fantastic- it’s about a deaf girl named Ella, who feels very alone, trying to communicate with a Whale who can’t communicate with any others, which just sounds so beautiful and sad and perfect to me. Another thing that really excites me is the fact that there is a Road trip, because I love road trips in books more often than not. There’s a very high probability of me full on weeping when I pick this up!
The Closest Thing to Flying– I have somehow missed reading Gill Lewis’s last couple of releases (I particularly love the sound of Sky Dancer !), but this dual narrative about two girls- one in the present, one in the past- sounds like a bit of a new direction for her and I’m really interested to see what it’s like. It definitely sounds great!
Guardians of the Wild Unicorns– I have only read one Lindsay Littleson years ago, and I must admit that I wasn’t that impressed by it, but this sounds like so much fun- it’s about best friends called Lewis and Rhona becoming involved in saving the last remaining unicorns (who are nothing like the the stereotypical image of them, apparently). I can’t wait to meet them, and it has a Scottish setting too which is always fun!
Storm Hound- this is the new release from Claire Fayers- who wrote Mirror Magic, which I really enjoyed- and I’m so excited about it. It’s about Storm of Odin as he is separated from the rest of the Wild Hunt and is adopted by a girl called Jessica. This synopsis gives me slight Lilo and Stitch vibes and I love that film an infinite amount so if this IS anything like that I’m sure to have an excellent reading experience!
What February releases are you most excited for? Do we have any in common? I’d love to hear in the comments!

My Most Anticipated November Releases
Hello everybody!
Today, I’m going to be talking about my most anticipated releases of November, of which there are only four because there are barely any books out (to the best of my knowledge, anyway!). Onto the post!
My Most Anticipated September-October Releases
Hello everybody! Today, I’m going to be talking about the books I’m most excited for in September and October, even though I’ve made a little bit of a mess of my scheduling and the September releases will all be out already 🙈. Onto the books!

My Most Anticipated May-June Books
Hello everybody!
Today, I’m going to be sharing a list of my most anticipated May-June releases. Though there are (rather a few) more I’m desperate to get my hands on in both months, I’ve narrowed it down to a list of eleven I’m desperate for, that I know are definetly coming out (which are, unusually for me, mainly YA 😱, though there are MGs I’m still excited for). Onto the books!
Note- I have been lucky enough to read some anticipated releases for these months already, so those haven’t been included, and at time of writing I’ve not read any of these (though I have a couple of review copies and I am VERY excited to get to those, hopefully soon).
<!–more–>
Kat Wolfe Investigates– Lauren St John’s other mystery series is one of my favourite series, full stop. It’s one of two I credit with keeping me a reader whenI thought I didn’t love it any more. If I love this new series half as much you’ll probably be hearing me rave lots about them.
Gangster School– A friend of mine has already read this and has told me she thinks I’ll love it, so I’m so excited to read it! It sounds like very classic MG with a bit of a new twist and I can’t wait to try it out.
I Was Born For This– Radio Silence was one of my absolute favourites of my favourite books last year, and I’m so looking forward to diving into Alice’s next novel. I think they strike the perfect balance between being dramatic and funny, and I am very hopeful I love it just as much as Radio Silence! I also need to get to her debut Solitaire at some point because I have heard so many amazing things about it.
Alex Sparrow and the Furry Fury– the first book in this series was super sweet and fun, plus I’ve heard this contains a rather adorable hedgehog called Mr Prickles. I’m excited to have more fun with Alex, Jess and their animal friends (very hopeful for a return of Bob the goldfish especially…)
It’s a Wrap– this comes out at the end of May, and though I’m sad the series is ending, it’ll be great to be back in the slightly bonkers world aspiring actress Elektra inhabits, and I’m excited to see the bizarre, brilliant situations that are sure to befall her…
Leah on the Offbeat– as you might know, I’m a MASSIVE fan of Simon Vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda, and I’m so excited to have a sort of sequel from the POV of his best friend Leah, who is bi but scared to come out, despite Simon being openly gay. I love Simon Vs, I love Upside of Unrequited, and I’m pretty sure I’ll love this book too. It’ll be interesting to see things through Leah’s eyes, not to mention seeing more of Simon and Blue as a couple! I’m unbelievably excited about seeing the Creekwood gang again, can you tell?!
The Last Chance Hotel– This was the winner of the competition the Times/Chicken House run every year, and I’ve really enjoyed some past winners so I’m pretty sure this will be great. It sounds like a blend of fantasy and mystery, both of which I totally love, AND if all this wasn’t enough to make me want to read it a faithful animal companion is mentioned in the blurb and the cover is so pretty.
Bookshop Girl– I love bookshops, I love funny books and I love rallying behind a cause as I read. I’m pretty sure I’ll love this, and I’ve been unbelievably excited to get my hands on it since the very day it was announced!
Boy Meets Hamster– I’ve heard brilliant things so far about this funny romance about two boys and their summer holiday romance, so it sounds like the perfect thing to read one sunny afternoon over the summer if possible!
Lou Out of Luck– Girl Out of Water was such a funny, fantastic debut and it’s been so long since I read it I’m totally dying to get my hands on the sequel.
Noah Could Never- I thoroughly enjoyed Noah Can’t Even last year, and I’m so excited to jump back into Noah’s world and see what will happen next in his relationship with Harry, not to mention seeing what hilarious hijinks he’ll get up to this time.
Thank you so much for reading! What books are you most excited for in these months? Do you agree that the amount of amazing stuff coming out in them is bananas, or is it just me who’ll be buying/borrowing tons? Let me know in the comments or on Twitter @GoldenBooksGirl!
