Top Ten Tuesday: Most Anticipated Releases of the Second Half of 2019

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

Topic:
Most Anticipated Releases of the Second Half of 2019

Ok, so I put the list in order of release date (which I'll also add for each). 

  1. Five Dark Fates (Three Dark Crowns #4) by Kendare Blake: September 3, 2019 - The Three Dark Crowns series rocked my world last year! I read the first book and became so interested in this story. I'm so excited for Five Dark Fates that I actually ordered the Five Dark Fates Special Edition Box from Beacon Book Box. And it comes out 5 days before my birthday! :D
  2. Eclipse The Skies (Ignite The Stars #2) by Maura Milan: September 3, 2019 - Ignite The Stars was one of my surprises of last year. I wasn't expecting a whole lot going in and ended up really loving it. And I'm so happy there's a sequel! If you like Sci-fi novels, definitely pick up Ignite The Stars before Eclipse The Skies comes out! You will not be disappointed! 
  3. The Girl The Sea Gave Back by Adrienne Young: September 3, 2019 - I fell in love with Sky In The Deep last year! I loved Adrienne Young's writing and storytelling. I knew I'd absolutely have to pick up the companion novel when I heard about it. I'm dying to see what kind of story she writes for Tova. 
  4. Capturing The Devil (Stalking Jack The Ripper #4) by Kerri Maniscalco: September 10, 2019 - So I've only read the first book of the series honestly, but I loved it! I have Hunting Prince Dracula on my Libby App and Escaping From Houdini already on my shelf so I just need to get them started now. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the story will go in Chicago and what the final outcome will be for Audrey and Thomas!
  5. Shatter City (Impostors #2) by Scott Westerfeld: September 17, 2019 - As you all know, I love Scott's Uglies series and just absolutely loved the first book in the spin-off from it Impostors. I'm just dying to get my hands on Shatter City (though I'm not the biggest fan of the title). I cannot wait to see whats going to happen next to Frey and Rafi!
  6. The Burning Shadow (Origin #2) by Jennifer L. Armentrout: October 8, 2019 - As you guys know, I've been forever a fan of Jennifer's Lux series. So I had to read the Origin spin off The Darkest Star and I loved it so much!!!! And I'm so freaking excited to see where this story is gonna go! The Darkest Star just dropped so many bombshells if you had read the Lux series beforehand, and it seems like The Burning Shadow is going to drop a few more! 
  7. Girls of Storm and Shadow (Girls of Paper and Fire #2) by Natasha Ngan: November 5, 2019 - So I actually haven't even finished Girls of Paper and Fire yet. But I have started it and I'm really liking it and can already tell I'll be wanting the next one! And look at that cover! It's freaking gorgeous! 
  8. Supernova (Renegades #3) by Marissa Meyer: November 5, 2019 - So as you guys remember, I was very skeptical about Renegades. I was not sure I'd like it but I gave it a chance and actually really enjoyed it. I'm not done with Archenemies yet, but I'm over halfway through it and I'm already enjoying it even more than I did Renegades. So I know I'm going to be wanting Supernova as soon as I'm done with it!
  9. The Queen of Nothing (The Folk of the Air #3) by Holly Black: November 19, 2019 - So I loved The Cruel Prince and even though I've only just started The Wicked King, I know 100% I'm gonna need this asap! And that cover is beautiful! 
  10. Children of Virtue and Vengeance (Legacy of Orïsha #2) by Tomi Adeyemi: December 3, 2019 - So this was on my first half of 2019 list, then it got pushed back to December, in which it now appears again! I freaking loved Children of Blood and Bone. It was one of my favorite overall reads of 2018 and it had such an amazing story! I CANNOT wait to get my hands on this because I NEED to know whats going to happen next!

90% Raw

I have been working on going raw for over a week now. Seems minimal, but I feel pretty good. So far. I did experience a HUGE day of food withdrawal. Sadly it was at work. LOL My poor boss. I lost it before lunch knowing I was going to have to eat my healthy lunch and all I wanted was crap. It was horrible. I was literally nuts for 20 minutes. Him pushing me to eat crap is what helped me choose to eat my healthy lunch. Ironic, huh? About two hours later, I felt the relief of normal again . (well semi-normal) So far I have struggled the most with making my lunch for work. I have to start making it the night before because I keep hitting snooze til I am running late. Damn. I have to get to sleep earlier. I am trying to leave leftovers in an easy to sort out container that I can just grab and go. My favorite part is grocery shopping. lol And enjoying my meals once I sit down. I am realizing that I am eating much slower and really tasting my food. I still read while I eat, but I notice I am...

Book Review: Unseen by Stephanie Erickson

Title: Unseen The Unseen Trilogy Book 1 Author: Stephanie Erickson Publisher: Pickles Press Publish Date: November 19, 2014 Goodreads Amazon It has been quite the ride this week with fantabulous book after fantabulous book!! Stephanie Erickson kept me in the book hangover with The Unseen. Mac has always been odd because when she was a little girl she realized she could read others thoughts. A doctor provided her with iLs. Mac wears this device on her ears. It plays music and drowns out the thoughts of others allowing her to concentrate. Ever since she was little, she has always wondered why she has this ability and if she is as alone as she feels. One day she sees a man watching her and from there, things change. She has hard choices to make and it will always change her. I am looking forward to the following books in this series to see if Stephanie Erickson develops the others in the Unseen that appeared occasionally while Mac was in training. I am so enamored with the back stories of...
