Most anticipated books of October 2016

October is here!
Time sure does fly, huh? 
But you can hear all about that in my September wrap up (coming soon).
As of right now... we're going to discuss our most anticipated books of October (do I hear squealing?)

October is another huge month in the new releases department. Here I have to show you 6 books I'm dying to read.
Ready?
Because here they are. 

The Hammer of Thor by Rick Riordan

Coming out: October 4, 2016

Opening our October is non other than The Hammer of Thor by Rick Riordan!

As you may (or may not) know, I didn't absolutely love the first book in the Gods of Asgard trilogy (as one would expect me to love a Rick Riordan book). I had my... issues with it.

That being said, I'm still SO excited about The Hammer of Thor. Yes, I was disappointed with the previous book, but not in levels that will prevent me from reading the second one. I mean, it's Rick Riordan. I'll be reading his books into eternity. 

Fear the Drowning Deep by Sarah Glenn Marsh

Coming out: October 4, 2016

I was only mildly excited about this book at the beginning.
That was before all the gushing reviews started pouring in. 

I'm not even sure what this book is about because the synopsis sounds really weird. But also really interesting.
All I know is that this is a YA fantasy-paranormal historical-fiction romance-mystery book.
My favorite genres combined.
Yes, I'm reading this.

Gemina by Jay Kristoff & Amie Kaufman

Coming out: October 18, 2016

My rating: 4 stars

No-no, you are not mistaken. I have indeed already read Gemina (one of my most anticipated books EVER).
How?
I was lucky enough to win a giveaway of an arc of Gemina and a hardcover of Illuminae. And you guys... they are so beautiful. Both inside and out. 

I cannot wait for you all to read Gemina so we can talk all about it! 17 more days now - stay strong. 

Tattoo Atlas by Tim Floreen

Coming out: October 18, 2016

A couple of months ago I read Tim Floreen debut novel Willful Machines, and very much enjoyed it (you can check out the review in my July Wrap Up). Now, Tim Floreen is back to us with another LGBT sci-fi YA book that sounds like something no one should miss out on reading. 

So excited about this one!

Red Winter by Annette Marie

Coming out: October 21, 2016

This is a Japanese YA romance folklore story.

The story follows a girl named Emi. Emi is destined to serve as a human host for a goddess. This is the only thing she ever knew. That is until she saves the life of Shiro - a Yokai (demon) who is an enemy to the goddess - and ends up accidentally binding him to her.  

A short excerpt from the book (shown in the Goodreads synopsis): 

"Ah, yes, you did save me, and I am very grateful." He idly tugged at a lock of his hair as his gaze slid down her and back up again. "I am in your debt. Tell me your desire and I will fulfill it." 

"My--my desire?" She chocked. 

He smirked again. "A favor, little miko. I am saying I owe you a favor." 

Right, so... this book sounds SO GOOD. I can't even. 

As someone who is obsessed with everything Japanese related, this book sounds like everything I could hope for. Can't wait!

Journey's End by Rachel Hawkins

Coming out: October 25, 2016

Rachel Hawkins is the brilliant author of the Hex Hall trilogy and Rebel Belle (read them - read them now).

Journey's End is her first MD book, following following a girl named Nollie in her adventure in the town Journey's End. 

I don't usually read MD books and the synopsis doesn't sound like something I would go for, but I've known Rachel Hawkins for 4 books now and I trust her.
I'm very much looking forward to seeing what she has for us in Journey's End. 

And that's it for our October new releases!

All those books coming out this October sound so amazing, don't they?
Which one are you most excited for? Is there any new release I didn't mention here that you are anticipating? What's your favorite book cover? (Mine is definitely Red Winter).
Let me here your thoughts! You know how much I love to (:

I'll see you in my next post!

Until then...

Ariana Grande - One Last Time

"We've tried to kill each other, fought ghouls, and kissed a lot. I'm pretty sure we're married in some cultures."
