Five Books I’m Looking Forward to in October
Guys, I LOVE October. You start to get that first hint of nip in the air, the leaves start changing colors. Fall is officially upon us. This October is all of those great things PLUS the release of these five books. I’m stoked.
The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There (Fairyland #2) by Catherynne M. Valente
Guys, the first book in this spectacularly imaginative series was amazing. Vibrant, clever, sumptuous, and pretty much captivating. I’m looking forward to more from September and her friends in Fairyland. I have total faith that Catherynne Valente will blow me away again. (October 2, 2012 from Feiwel and Friends.)
Through to You by Emily Hainsworth
I am really looking forward to this book. It’s got some science-fictiony vibes to it, with alternate universes where dead loved ones are alive. It sounds emotionally complicated and clever. (October 2, 2012 from Balzer + Bray.)
Valkyrie Rising by Ingrid Paulson
Don’t even tease me with anything Norse-sounding, people. I can’t even deal with how much I love that shizz. This story about a girl visiting family in Norway where her brother is abducted and all kinds of epic mythological shenanigans ensue sounds FUN, and right up my alley. (October 9, 2012 from Harper Teen.)
The Lost Prince (The Iron Fey: The Call of the Forgotten #1) by Julie Kagawa
One of these days I’m going to review the original Iron Fey series because it is, hands down, my favorite fairie series of ever. This new series centers around Meghan Chase’s now-grown brother, Ethan. Julie Kagawa can do no wrong with the fairies, friends. (October 23, 2012 from Harlequin Teen.)
The Crimson Crown (Seven Realms #4) by Cinda Williams Chima
YOOOO!!! I cannot WAIT to read this book. I have only recently caught up on the first three books in Cinda Williams Chima’s series, but I am so glad that I did. Because it basically rocks my socks. Han and Raisa have a war on their doorstep, not to mention their really complicated feelings for each other. It’s going to be GOOD. I know it. (October 23, 2012 from Hyperion Children’s.)

Ahh! I can’t wait to read Valkyrie Rising!
I love October too! The amount of goodness happening this month is really ridiculous. I’m so excited for Fairyland and perhaps now I will finally start the Seven Realms series. Actually, I’m going to an event she will be at later this month and fully intend to but a copy of the first book and have her sign it.
“Sumptuous!” I must read the first book in the Fairyland series for this word choice alone! Sounds great! Have a lovely reading month 🙂
