Details
-Books are separated by six main categories, then those categories have two sub-categories.-Books are organized by genre, which may not all be one-hundred percent accurate (I went off Goodreads), so sorry!
-For the most part, these are all coverless releases with small synopses, but there are some exceptions.
-Clicking the book title and author will take you to the Goodreads page.
-There are thirty-seven books but I'm sure I'm forgetting some, so there may be a part two in the future!

Sapphire Skies by Becca Fitzpatrick: Ooh, the Witness Protection Program!Trollhunters by Daniel Kraus and Guillermo del Toro: The writers make me iffy, but the title makes this horror novel sound excellent. I mean, MONSTERS. We shall see.
The Start of Me & You by Emery Lord: Open Road Summer was pretty good, and while this doesn't sound as light and fluffy, it still sounds good.
The Trouble With Destiny by Lauren Morrill: What looks to be a fun novel, since there's a school band...on a ship stranded at sea.
All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven: This sounds like very good (The Fault in Our Stars meets Eleanor & Park) but also like it will probably make me cry.
Untitled by Stephanie Perkins: This is a, like, SLASHER NOVEL, from STEPHANIE PERKINS, so we'll see where this goes and yes, it sounds pretty freaking cool.
The Fill-In Boyfriend by Kasie West: A contemporary novel from Kasie West automatically goes on my TBR.

I had no clue there was going to be a new Mediator book! I will need to re-read those so I can prepare for the awesomeness that is bound to happen. Oh, and thanks a lot for making my TBR pile even bigger now too. ;)
ReplyDeleteKay @ It's a Book Life
The Game of Love and Death sounds great... :) If I win I probably choose Remembrance :)
ReplyDeleteSoooo many good books and so many to add to my TBR!!! I have to say though I am most looking forward to Winter and Heartless because Marissa Meyer....that's all. =)
ReplyDeleteLove the sound of Bookishly Ever After!! Also a slasher book by Stephanie Perkins?!?!?!? How am I just now hearing about this!! So cool! Also all the Lunar Chronicle books are a must! Cool post!
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhh there's going to be a new book in the Mediator series??? I had no idea!! This post has had me adding so many new books to my TBR, thank you! I'm not sure which 2015/2016 release I'm most looking forward to, but I'm definitely anticipating Rivals in the City by Y.S. Lee (the fourth book in the Agency series), Charisma by Jeanne Ryan, and Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. If I won I'd probably go with either Remembrance by Meg Cabot, or maybe The Sin Eater's Daughter. Or perhaps that alternate history by Rachel Caine because that sounds really cool. LOL, too many to choose from! Thanks for the chance to win :)
ReplyDeleteToo many to name! Heartless and Winter, Truthwitch, The Dregs, The Cage... And I honestly don't know what I'd pick; it'd be between Truthwitch and Winter.
ReplyDeleteI should do a TBR list like this so I can remember all of the awesome far away releases I want to read. Great idea! :)
All of these are such authors whose books will be wonderful!! If I were to win, I'd choose My Unscripted Life by Lauren Morrill. :) Thank you for the giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteI am interested in: the next installment of Throne of Glass (most about this one), the next Penryn & the End of Days book, A Court of Thorn and Roses, Heartless & Winter. Thanks for doing this giveaway
ReplyDeleteOoooh either The Dregs or Shadow Scale (Seraphina's sequel). So many good books!
ReplyDeleteI'm dying to read The Dregs and that's the one I'd pick. I haven't read Ruin and Rising yet, but I don't doubt Leigh's storytelling. Great giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteWINTER. Why, why, why, why do we have to wait?
ReplyDeleteWinter by Marissa Meyer!!! I just recently got finished with the series.
ReplyDeleteHeartless and Winter by Marissa Meyer. :D
ReplyDeleteOh, this is a hard choice! Either Penryn #3, The Dregs, or The Cage. Thanks for the giveaway, what a great idea :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway- I don't know which book I would pick but I am excited about the third Susan Ee book!! :)
ReplyDeleteThis may sound strange since I'm picking this over some of my favorite authors' new books, but I'm always interested in debut authors-therefore I would pick Blackhearts. I ADORE sea adventures, so I'm really looking forward to this! Hmm...can I not pick a book yet to pre-order? There are just SOO many that I want to pre-order!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for such an awesome post and the epic giveaway!
I'm looking forward to and hope to win Remembrance by Meg Cabot! I really really loved The Mediators series, and I really can't wait to read the next installment :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
So many books to choose from, I want them all!!! I'd probably pick either Beastkeeper or the new Rachel Caine but just about all of these titles are on my wishlist :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway :)
I'm looking forward to Throne of Glass #4 by Sarah J. Maas. Heir of Fire is not even out yet but i'm already excited for her next books (well, who doesn't?). AND also the third book of Susan Ee!! :D
ReplyDeleteEndsinger by Jay Kristoff!!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely looking forward to the next Penryn books but also Soldier Girl by Michael Grant (not entirely sure when that's being released). Im also excited for The Dregs. Tbh just put all the books on this list on my cant-wait-to-read list!
ReplyDeleteI'd probably pick Penryn though as tbh I'd only have to preorder it anyway!
Thanks for the giveaway!
P.S. i love ur blog
Winter by Marissa Meyer, remembrance by Meg Cabot or the Penryn #3 :))
ReplyDeleteI'm so, so, sooo excited for 2015 releases - The Dregs by Leigh Bardugo (Grisha trilogy was absolutely amazing!), Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard, The Last Time We Say Goodbye by Cynthia Hand, Passenger by Alexandra Bracken and 3rd book in Penryn & the End of Days by Susan Ee
ReplyDeleteAs for 2016. - Starflight by Melissa Landers
I'd probably pick Kalahari by Jessica Khoury, sounds really interesting.
Thanks for a giveaway! :)
There are SO many that I'm really excited for... my list is way too long to go through :) But I think of the ones you've mentioned here, I'm most excited for Winter and Heartless by Marissa Meyer, Blackhearts by Nicole Castroman and Sharon Biggs Waller's next one! I think I'd have to pull from a hat or something to pick between them!
ReplyDeleteOh holy alien babies they all sound amazing. Maybe Truthwitch, cuz like you said, Avatar the last Airbender makes it a must read. Or maybe the Dregs? Because let's face it, Leigh breeds swoon worthy characters. Or maybe Stephanie Perkins slasher? This is hard. Probably The Dregs. Maybe.
ReplyDeleteBRILLIANT GIVEAWAY!
I most want The Dregs, because I loved the Grisha trilogy. :)
