T10T: Winter TBR [#Project14Lists no. 1]

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly blog meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.

In September, I did an Autumn TBR for T10T. First, we’ll see how many I managed to finish, and then we’ll talk about my Winter TBR!

This is not to be confused with my winter Seasonal TBR Jar post I made a few weeks ago—those will be pulled randomly, whereas these are 10 books I specifically intend to make sure I read before spring!

This is also my FIRST post in the #Project14Lists series, hosted by Shealea at That Bookshelf Bitch! You can find more information here, as well as a thread of my posts for the event here.

1. King of Scars — Leigh Bardugo
I usually have a few pre-orders for each seasonal TBR, but this season, only one is making the list (mainly because I have/had ARCs of my other anticipated winter ’19 releases), and I cannot wait!
pre-order; releases 01.29.19

2. A Curse So Dark and Lonely — Brigid Kemmerer
I’m actually hoping to start this one ASAP, but with Short-a-thon later this week, it miiight have to wait until the beginning of January!
review copy; releases 01.29.19

3. Binti: The Complete Trilogy — Nnedi Okorafor
The Binti novellas are being re-released in an omnibus with a new short story, and I was lucky enough to receive a review copy! I can’t wait to get into this popular adult sci-fi series.
review copy; releases 02.05.19

4. The Owls Have Come to Take Us Away — Ronald L. Smith
It’s been way too long since I’ve read a horror novel about aliens, and this MG horror sounds like it’s going to hit the spot, plus I am obsessed with this cover!
review copy; releases 02.19.19

5. The Weight of the Stars — K. Ancrum
QPOC girls, sci-fi, this cover, and more amazing work from Kayla, who is literally one of the kindest authors I’ve ever met? Yeah, I need ALL of this.
review copy; releases 03.19.19

6. Wicked Saints — Emily A. Duncan
I have been dying to get my hands on a copy of this gothic-Joan-of-Arc-meets-Dungeons-and-Dragons fantasy for literally almost this entire year, so the fact that I finally have an ARC of it? I could cry tears of joy. I know I’ll be picking this one up ASAP!
review copy; releases 04.02.19

7. This Mortal Coil — Emily Suvada
Kaleena, Bex, and Taylor recently read this and they have all been singing its praises, so I know they’re going to shank me if I don’t read it ASAP. ??
friends’ recommendation

8. A Heart in the Body in the World — Deb Caletti
I grew up loving Caletti’s The Nature of Jade, but hadn’t read anything newer from her yet. When Chelsea raved about this recently, I ordered it before I even finished her video and knew I had to add it to a TBR ASAP.
friend’s recommendation

9. The Black Farm — Elias Witherow
My fellow witch and horror lover Bethany reviewed this on Goodreads ages ago (like, literally a year and a half or so back) and it sounded so cool, but I totally forgot about it until listening to the NoSleep Podcast earlier this year and hearing the author’s name mentioned. It reminded me that I’d wanted to buy this, so I finally ordered a copy and it’s high time I read it!
friend’s recommendation

10. Kingdom of Ash — Sarah J. Maas
I know, for shame, I haven’t finished this yet. I was reading it very slowly in November and finally realized I just needed a little more time to say goodbye to this lovely series, so I decided to set it aside until 2019. I think this will be one of my first January reads!
