Most Anticipated Books of November 2016

Well hello there.
And thank you for joining me in my November 2016 most anticipated book talk \ possible fangirling. 

What can you expect: 

• November 1st. A looot of November 1st. 
• An author who disappeared so long ago, no one thought she will be seen again. Until... 
• Certain someone was approved for 3 ARCs in this list (and is, naturally, overjoyed about it). 
• A book that refuses to show up on kindle. 
• A book so awesome, surely it must not be true.

I got your attention, didn't I?
*muahahaha*

Archangel's Heart by Nalini Singh

Coming out: November 1, 2016

My Review

Thanks to Orion Publishing Group & NetGalley, I was ever so lucky to get an ARC of this book I was so highly anticipating.

While I didn't love it as much as I wanted to, I did very much enjoy it. And I am very much excited for the next one.

For more details about that, feel free to check out my book review  of Archangel's Heart.

But before I move on to the next book, I'll give you a quick overview of the first book in the series: 

The series takes place in a world like our own. That is if our world was ruled by angels and vampires were a common thing to see on the streets.

Elena is a guild hunter, responsible for protecting the humans and making sure the vampires oblige the rules set my the angles.
One day, she's called for a special mission by one of the 10 most powerful angles in the world - the Archangel of New York, Raphael.
Yeah, things definitely don't go as planned from there...

The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon

Coming out: November 1, 2016

It's a cover like this one that makes me want to move to the US right now so I can buy the actual book.

*dreamy sigh*

I have heard nothing but amazing things about The Sun is Also a Star & Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon.
Reading The Sun is Also a star synopsis, I was hooked.
Sounds like a beautiful YA contemporary romance story.
I'm always into it.

Bad Blood by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Coming out: November 1st

Also, covers like this.

Though this time I am going to get to see this cover up close.
Why?
Because a certain book *ahem-ahem* Bad Blood *ahem-ahem* refuses to appear on my kindle.
Same thing happened with the previous book in the series (All In).
For reasons I will never understand, sometimes you can't purchase certain books in certain countries.
As in, if I was in the US right now, I would probably be ale to buy this book on my kindle.
But as I am not in the US right now, I can't purchase this book on my kindle.

What kind of logic is that?
Don't know.
All I know is I have to read this book. Have to. As I am currently obsessed with Jennifer Lynn Barnes books (best YA thriller author ever).

Which is why I'm going to spend extra money to get it shipped to my little country.

Worth it.
Anything for Bad Blood.

Infinity by Jus Accardo

Coming out: November 1, 2016

I got an e-ARC!

Which I haven't read yet because I literally just got it.

And I'm so excited about it! 

Infinity is a YA sci-fi novel about jumping through dimensions.

Which is almost as exciting as time travel. Sometimes more, depending on how well it's performed.

The positive reviews and the synopsis were enough for me to want to read this book.

Also, the fact that a few of my friends on Goodreads want to read it.

Also, dimension travel.

Also, I got an ARC.
So...

Timekeeper by Tara Sim

Coming out: November 1, 2016

ARC number 3 I received from the publisher via NetGalley.

I've had my eye on this book for a while now.
Also, thank you, Lola from Hit or Miss Books, for recommending this book to me!

How many fantasy-steampunk YA LGBT books can you say you've read?

Not many, huh?
Well, you're in luck because Timekeeper is just it.

Taking place in a world where time literally lives in clock-towers, we follow our protagonist Danny in his mission to save... well, time. All while he falls in love with a spirit of a clock-tower he would do anything to protect. 

I've reached about 12% into Timekeeper, and while I'm really intrigued by the concept of this book (haven't read steampunk before), and by the characters and where they're going, I stopped there for now because it was really hard for me to get into it.

The story just felt so... slow.
I can't really describe it other than the fact that I had trouble keeping my focus as I was reading it.

    

The Diabolic by S.J. Kincaid

Coming out: November 1, 2016

Is November 1st some sort of international date for book releases I'm unaware of?

It sure does seem this way.

I'm honestly not sure what The Diabolic is about, other than: 

A) the cover creeps me out a bit (I'm not a huge fan of butterflies) 

B) I've seen this book going around all over the place. 

Okay, so, I have read the synopsis and...

yeah, I still have no idea what this book is about.
All I got was:
A humanoid teenager built to protect a senator daughter.
She must disguise herself as the senator daughter and go to the capital as a hostage.
There is a power-mad emperor, rebellion, and romance.

What more does a book-lover girl like myself need?

The Chemist by Stephenie Meyer

Coming out: November... 15, 2016 (don't worry, we're done with the 1st)

No no, you definitely did not read the name of the author wrong.

It is indeed the original Stephenie Meyer.
You know, Twilight, the host, and all.

I was like "WHAT!" when I heard Stephenie Meyer was coming out with a new book.

More out of surprise than excitement, I admit.
Stephenie Meyer was gone for so long...

I do, however, feel like I owe it to my 13-year-old self to read this book.

My 13-year-old-self was obsessed with twilight.
And I do mean obsessed. 
Indeed I was.
The nostalgia... (:

I highly doubt I would come even close to liking it if I read it today.
It's a sad truth but it is the truth.
It doesn't mean The Chemist is anything like Twilight, though.
I read the synopsis and it actually looks like an adult thriller novel.

Scythe by Neal Shusterman

Coming out: November 22, 2016

Two teenagers, a boy and a girl, are forced against each other to become professional reapers.

One of them must die. The other must become an apprentice.

Okay, so this book sounds so cool! 

I haven't read anything by the author but I heard great things about his Unwind trilogy.
I'm very much looking forward to reading Scythe!

And that's it for my Most anticipated books of November 2016 post!
