10. Patrick Ness, Release
I've heard some good things about this book. I've also heard that, tonally, it's perhaps closest to The Rest of Us Just Live Here, my least favorite Ness book of all. But maybe I'll like this one more because it feels less likely to be a satire that, for me, would fall flat on its face. And also, Ness needs all the love he can get given that his BBC baby Class went and got unceremoniously cancelled.

| Sharing the UK cover 'cause I like that one a lot more than the US cover. |
9. Sarah J. Maas, Tower of Dawn
Yeah, yeah, I know, SJM's problematic in all the ways and should be avoided like the plague, but I'm still a fan of hers and I'll read her books - I especially can't ignore this one about Chaol, because thanks to Aimal, he's become my favorite character again after I briefly fell for the Rowan spell. If nothing else, read this review of ToD from my friend. Spoilery, but if you're like me, you've got plenty of mutuals who've spread most of the same spoilers online anyway.
 |
| We still got robbed not having Chaol on this cover, though. |
8. Jay Kristoff, Godsgrave
Also an author (and series) many of my Twitter mutuals recommend everyone avoids because he's got a history of being problematic as hell, but me, I'm too loyal a Hufflepuff droog. I named one of my own villains after Mister Kristoff for a reason! And while I'm far more psyched for Obsidio, this middle entry of the Nevernight Chronicle promises a pretty kickass magical Olympics in the vein of The Mime Order or A Gathering of Shadows. Also, this bi boy is happy to hear that the whisperings of a bi Mia Corvere I was hearing from Mister Kristoff for a while appear to have become canon.

| The bookstore has no less than two signed copies of this one! |
7. James Rollins, The Demon Crown
Technically not coming out till the tail end of the fall season - early December, to be precise - so I probably won't get to read this one until sometime in 2018. But James Rollins never fails with his Sigma Force series, and for this we're looking at yet another high-stakes, high-intensity dose of apocalyptic action. So apocalyptic, in fact, Sigma's gonna have to temporarily align with the Guild to stop it, five books after we thought the Guild was defeated.
 |
| Why does this cover remind me so much of Fireblood, though? Or, even better, Talon. |
6. Tahereh Mafi, Whichwood
I've been waiting for this one way too long. And it's a companion to Furthermore? Like, set in the same universe? I'm so down!
 |
| #OwnVoices MG fantasy FTW! |
5. Rick Riordan, The Ship of the Dead
Magnus Chase, meet Percy Jackson. You're welcome. Obviously.
 |
| This'll pair perfectly with Thor: Ragnarok, am I right? |
4. Barry Lyga, The Flash: Hocus Pocus
An official kidlit Flash novel? Sounds a lot less dark than we Lyga fans can expect, but I'll be damned if he doesn't do my favorite guardian angel Scarlet Speedster justice. (I mean, he's a Barry writing about another Barry, setting up for some Barry-ception at some point, am I right?) And, being middle-grade, I'm hoping that this book shies away from some shipping routes I'd rather avoid, the main reason why I've got such a love-hate relationship with what used to be my favorite show.

3. Jo Whittemore, Supergirl: Age of Atlantis
A month after Lyga's Flash novel will come this official kidlit Supergirl novel, for which I can wait even less because Supergirl, the Angel from Krypton, has become my favorite Arrowverse character of them all. This book, I have all the faith it'll be perfectly awe...and some.

2. Zac Brewer, Madness
If there's one thing you need to know about me, it's that Z is one of the best in the biz and you're all sleeping on him. Remedy that immediately with all his books in order, building up to this one, which I'm thinking will be his most Silvera-esque yet. Dark, but with just enough of a nugget of hope at the end.
 |
| Make this one his next big bestseller, I beg you. |
1. Adam Silvera, They Both Die At The End
*cries in bisexual because the bookstore STILL doesn't carry this one despite it being officially an NYT bestseller*
 |
| crying-garfield-spidey.gif - that one's getting attached to EVERY Silvera review I write, you know. |
There you have it, my loyal Pinecones. The fall 2017 books I wanna read the most. Believe it or not, Tower of Dawn will be the first one I read, I'm thinking. Unless extra copies of TBDATE pop up at the library the way they did for ToD...hmm.
Till next time...
