Hi everyone!
So, I am having a bit of a dilemma. I am planning on buying a new book (yay!!) but when I came to choosing I just couldn’t make up my mind on which one, so I was hoping you could help me out?
I managed to narrow it down to a few so if you could let me know if you really loved any of them or if you have a favourite that you think I really need to get to soon, then please comment and let me know, that would be so great!
Here is the shortlist:
- Empress of a thousand skies by Rhoda Belleza
- The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden
- Hold Back the Stars by Katie Khan
- Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes
- The Diabolic by S.J. Kincaid
- Dark Matter by Blake Crouch
- American Street by Ibi Zoboi
- The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
Thanks so much in advance!
I have such a soft spot for The Raven Boys! I would completely recommend if you like lyrical and whimsical writing styles! ❤️

Sorry, I meant ‘that definitely’, not sure where the ‘is’ came from! I will use the excuse that I am tired 😂

I sadly have only read one of the books on your list, Falling Kingdoms, and I wasn’t a super big fan of that one. It was good, but just okay. I’ve seen amazing reviews for The Diabolic and The Bear if that helps. 🙂 And I did read the first chapter of The Diabolic and it did sound really good. Not sure if that helped. XD

Thanks, that was really helpful! Falling Kingdoms is something I have heard a lot of hype for, which made me very wary of it, so I was hoping someone would give me their opinion on it! I will probably give that one a miss for now, thanks for the recs 🙂

I was all ready to jump in with recommendations…then I realized I have read only Falling Kingdoms, which I think is fine but overhyped. I’d probably go with The Bear and the Nightingale from what I’ve heard about it.

Dark Matter was AMAZING! I can’t wait for Hold Back the Stars 🙂 Feels like I’ve been waiting months and months for that one!

I absolutely loved The Raven Cycle series! And I also read The Diabolic recently and it was really good too!

I know I’m, like, super late to this post so I don’t know if you’ve already bought a book, haha. BUT I have to say that I read and really loved both The Diabolic and Dark Matter (both made it onto my list of 2016 favorites)!
