Anticipated Books 2019

Hi guys, I hope you are all well. It’s the start of the new year, which means it’s time for me to share my anticipated books of 2019. I’ll warn you now that this is a long one, so grab a cup a tea or a snack :). There are a lot of new releases that I am excited for; some are sequels and others are first in a series or standalones. If a book is part of a series I’ve stated what number the book is in the series, so you know which books are sequels. Since there are a lot of them, I’m not going to go into detail about any of them otherwise this would be a very long post. Instead I’ve linked to each books goodreads page, as well as linked to Waterstones or Wordery using my affiliate links if you guys want to preorder any of them. One last thing before we get started, releases dates are subject to change so the dates shown below may change. The dates used are right as of posting this in the beginning of January but it is possible that some may be pushed back – dates are of UK releases.  Let’s get started.
