Harker @ The Hermit Librarian
December 30, 2018I fully support, at the very least, Binti and Let’s Talk About Love! 😀 Both are excellent and their authors as such good writers! I can’t wait to read more from them.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 31, 2018Awww, excellent. 😀 I’m excited for both of them, so thank you for the extra nudge to hurry up and read them! The first Binti novella was on my Short-a-thon TBR, and it ends tonight, so if I can, I’m going to try to read it at some point today, and then I’m supposed to read the other 2 novellas before the full trilogy bind-up releases in February for a review spot I was asked to do, so at least I’ll be getting to them very soon!
Harker @ The Hermit Librarian
January 1, 2019Oh, that’s cool! I didn’t know there was a bind-up coming. ? I think maybe another book too? I forget. ?
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
January 1, 2019I hadn’t heard anything about another full book, but I do know the bind-up has a new short story in it!
Harker @ The Hermit Librarian
January 1, 2019Maybe that’s what I heard about.

December 30, 2018I hope you like Nnedi she’s a brilliant writer. Lets talk about love is the cutest book ever !!! What i have listened to so far , the name of the wind promises an epic adventure I hope you like it.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 31, 2018Oh awesome, I’m gonna try to read Binti today so that’s good to hear!! And I’m excited for Let’s Talk About Love but I hadn’t heard about it being so cute so that’s exciting. 🙂
Kristin @ Kristin Kraves Books
December 30, 2018Julie Kagawa’s Immortal Rules series is one of my favourites!! I really hope you love it as much as I did!
I also want to read Binti this year!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 31, 2018Oh good, I’m looking forward to it! 😀 And I hope you get to read Binti soon!

December 30, 2018The Name of The Wind is pretty good but personally, I don’t want to continue on with the series until the third book comes out (if that ever happens).
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 31, 2018Understandable! I read last night that he said in an interview that the current state of US politics is why he hasn’t put out the third book yet, that it’s just had him in such poor mental health he hasn’t been able to focus well enough to finish it up. 🙁 I hope he’s able to soon but I guess I can’t say I fault him since it is pretty depressing over here lol.
Ellyn
December 31, 2018Yeah, I do believe that the book will be published at some point but, being the pessimist that I am, I don’t think it will be anytime soon. I mean, they call this guy the new GRR Martin for a reason.

December 31, 2018Some of these authors’ books are on my TBR and I hope we both get to love their writing in 2019!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 31, 2018Me too! 😀 Happy reading!!
Jolien @ The Fictional Reader
December 31, 2018I also want to read some of Ania Ahlborn’s works in 2019! I don’t really read horror, and that’s something I want to change in the upcoming year.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 31, 2018Oooh, well from everything I hear, she’s a great intro to the genre! I hope you enjoy whatever you decide to read. It’s such a wide genre filled with a ton of variety and I love it!
Laura Beth
December 31, 2018My 13-year-old niece loves Cindy Pon. I have “Want” on my upcoming TBR post! Great list!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 31, 2018That’s awesome! 🙂 Hopefully we’ll love Want as much as you niece loves Cindy Pon, haha! Thank you!

December 31, 2018Great list, I hope you enjoy Julie Kagawa books ???
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
December 31, 2018Thank you!! I totally expect that I will, I don’t know why but she’s just one of those authors who I have this gut feeling I’m going to love! 😀
