Which of these most anticipated books of 2019 are you looking forward to reading this year? Any that aren’t on the list?
Happy reading!
I’m looking forward to Jim Butcher’s next DRESDEN FILES novel, PEACE TALKS, and his next CINDER SPIRES novel (which will probably not be out this year), THE OLYMPIAN AFFAIR. A lot of people are looking forward to CHILDREN OF VIRTUE AND VENGEANCE, by Tomi Adeyemi, although I don’t think the first book, CHILDREN OF BLOOD AND BONE, was that great.
