    A monthly meme to keep up with the latest publications, featuring advance copy reviews to look forward to reading.

    Once again, February this year proves to be another great month for new releases. CJ Redwine‘s new fantasy series begins with The Shadow Queen and some great adult fiction by A.A. McDonald and Julie Christine Johnson hit stores this month.

    This book in particular is what I’m most excited for…

    Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys
    (Philomel, February 2)

    I’m not going to give a quick synopsis, because her name carries so much weight all on its own. This is going to be brilliant. And huge. And even more gut-wrenching than Between Shades of Gray, which I didn’t even think was possible.

    Be prepared for a book hangover with this one.

    What books are you looking forward to in February?

      I have not read Between Shades of Gray yet!! However, I’m really excited for this to be released 😀

      I’m definitely excited for Salt to the Sea! I’ve read and loved The Shadow Queen (and I really think you’re going to enjoy it too). ❤

        I LOVED CJ Redwine’s Defiance trilogy. I need to finish a current book for review first, and then I’m diving straight into Shadow Queen 🙂 Good to know it received your approval too — we have similar taste.

    • Hello, I’m Laura!

      I'm a bookish bookworm and book hoarder. By day I'm a literary agent, and by night I'm forever rearranging my bookshelves. I could talk your ear off about Gothic literature, and in my past life people thought I'd become a professional musician. I have a fluffy black cat named Rossetti, I love to travel, tea is my drink of choice, British TV is the best, and I'm always down for chips-and-queso nights. Welcome to Scribbles & Wanderlust!
