Well, as the title implies, I'm gearing up to read so many lovely YA novels this year, many of them by debut authors. Related, as you'll see, is the fact that I just picked up Holly Black's THE CRUEL PRINCE, and am really enjoying it so far (perhaps this is sacrilege, but I've never read a Holly Black book until now--but there's a first time for everything, right?).
As far as my most anticipated 2019 YA reads go, I've decided to put together a little list. Still in progress, of course, but here it is, nonetheless: In no particular order:
Side note: all these novels have stunning covers. Aaand that's it for now. I'm probably (read: absolutely) forgetting others, but hey, it's what's in my head right now. So, yes, you could say I'm very excited for the upcoming YA books of 2019. Bring it on! (Also, completed unrelated, but The Masked Singer premiered on the 2nd of this month, and I'm pretty much obsessed.)

Happy New Year, friends! I'm so excited for 2019!
In early 2018, I queried, and later shelved, a YA sci-fi novel (after entering it into Author Mentor Match Round 4, and not getting in--but this has a happy ending, I promise). I subsequently wrote two novels beginning that summer--a YA fantasy, and a YA mystery/thriller. I entered the YA mystery/thriller into Author Mentor Match Round 5. And I got in. *insert flailing here* (Details about this can be found in my previous post from November 2018, if you're so inclined.) Regardless of where my writing goes, I wish anyone who reads this a healthy, happy, and prosperous 2019. It's always nice to recalibrate and confirm my goals and wishes each new year. One of which is to blog more often. I used to blog quite frequently on a much older/retired blog, and I really enjoyed it, so I hope to circle back to that consistency this year and beyond. Hopefully, I'll have a bit more to talk about with regards to my writing and such. Again, Happy New Year! Let's do this, 2019! |
