How do you all feel about anticipation? It’s one of my favorite feelings in the entire world. There is nothing like daydreaming about when you’ll finally get to read that book, eat that special meal, or go on that exciting trip. Sometimes I honestly enjoy looking forward to something than I do experiencing it.
With these titles, however, I do think I’ll like reading them as much as I relish the thought of reading them. I’ve included their release dates in this post so you’ll know when to look for them as well.
1. Pride by Ibi Zoboi.
Release date: September 18 (today!)
This is a modern-day retelling of Pride and Prejudice. I’m looking forward to seeing how that story has been updated for life in 2018. There are so many parts of the original version that would no longer apply to our society. For example, our inheritance laws don’t care what gender someone’s children or other heirs are. Anyone can inherit anything.
2. The Last Wish of Sasha Cade by Cheyanne Young.
Release date: October 2.
The death of a friend is always hard, but it’s especially difficult the first time it happens. I’m intrigued by the thought of Raquel being able to communicate with her dead friend.
3. What If It’s Us by Becky Albertalli.
Release date: October 9.
It feels like I’ve been waiting for this book to be released for five years. I don’t read a ton of romance novels in general, but I do like the ones that show characters who aren’t immediately sure that the person they’ve just met is the right one for them.
4. Odd One Out by Nic Stone.
Release date: October 9.
I can’t decide which two of these characters I want to see end up together the most. Since any combination of them is a possibility, the tension is going to keep me guessing until I finally get a chance to read this next month.
5. Quiver by Julia Watts.
Release date October 16.
Imagine a girl who was raised by a conservative, religious family who believed in allowing God to decide how many kids a couple has. Now picture that girl befriending a gender-fluid vegetarian who grew up in an egalitarian household. As soon as I read the blurb of this story, I knew I’d want to check out the whole thing.

6. A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi
Release date: October 16.
I’m intrigued by the idea of a character dealing with as much prejudice and hatred as Shirin will have to at the same time she’s deciding whether to open her heart to someone new in her life. Mixing a lighthearted storyline with a much more serious one seems like it could make for more memorable scenes.
7. Home and Away by Candice Montgomery.
Release date: October 16.
The only thing more attention-grabbing than a girl who plays football on an otherwise all-male team is the mysterious box that Tasia will catch a glimpse of early on in this storyline. I want to know more about both of these parts of her life.
8. The Brilliant Death by Amy Rose Capetta.
Release date: October 30.
Seriously, how cool would it be to change your gender at will? While I’m happy being a woman in general, I’d change that for a few hours if I could just to see what it would be like.
Figuring out who is poisoning the leaders of the five most powerful families in Italy is also going to be fun, but it was honestly the idea of swapping out one’s gender that made me sure I wanted to read this.
9. Empress of All Seasons by Emiko Jean
Release date: November 6.
The thought of women and girls competing in order to see who will become the next empress makes me smile. I can’t wait to see how this contest plays out.
10. Any Second by Kevin Emerson
Release Date: November 20.
This really goes without saying, but kidnappings and bombs are both pretty frightening. Mixing them together only makes me more nervous about what will happen to these characters. I might need to read their tale hours before bedtime to avoid having bad dreams about it, but I still want to find out what their fates will be.
What are you looking forward to reading this autumn? Are any of these books also on your TBR list?
Great list! The Brilliant Death is on my TBR too, and I really want to get my hands on a copy of Empress of All Seasons.
Thank you. I hope you enjoy those books. They sure sound like they’re going to be amazing.
Oh, nice list! Pride I am looking forward to and Any Second with its combination of bombings and kidnappings sounds just like my cup of tea!
Thanks! Have fun reading them.
What If It’s Us and Odd One Out are the two of your list I’m looking forward to most. I loved Dear Martin and I love Albertalli’s writing – the two reasons why I really want to get my hands on these books. 🙂
Happy reading!
Thank you. You, too! Isn’t it nice to find authors who make you feel excited every time they release something new?
It definitely is! Seeing their name on a cover is already the perfect reason to just go ahead and buy it. 🙂
Ooh I see Pride on the list! It was pretty good and I hope you enjoy it, too!
Awesome. I’m thrilled that you liked it.
There is something to be said for anticipation. 🙂 I hope all of these hit the mark for you and are satisfying reads. Pride is a new one to me, but sure sounds good! Empress of All Seasons and Any Second also sound especially good to me. Enjoy and have a great week!
Thank you. I hope you enjoy those titles as well.
Great list! I am super excited for A Very Large Expanse of Sea – it made my list this week as well. I also absolutely adore the cover of it!

Good luck with your TBR!
I have seen Empress of All Seasons on so many lists, so fingers crossed it’s good!

Thanks! Yes, it’s been on many lists this week.
Some interesting choices there. The Last Wish of Sasha Cade caught my interest because it is something I’ve been grappling with … and people kind of expect you to put yourself back together faster that you would if it were family (as much was intimated to me and you do feel like you can’t really talk about it) but it’s not nearly that simple. I find that I’ve been unable to write about it as well (apart from my attempts to do so for the eulogy) and since writing is how I process life…well. So, anyway, maybe I’ll check out the book at some point. What if it’s us showed up on my radar some time ago (I remember that cover) – seems interesting, and you’ve given me just enough to tease A Very Large Expanse of Sea and Home and Away – I’ll have to look out for more information on them. Of course, that’s if my brain can hold that thought, there’s a lot going on and lots on my own TBR. That said, I enjoyed the post, thanks for sharing and look forward to reading if the book’s live up to the anticipation.
Empress of All Seasons sounds awesome! I’m definitely adding that one to my wishlist. Great list! 🙂
That’s wonderful. Happy reading!
I’m quite interested in Pride but it might be a wait for paperback kind of book because I don’t think the UK is getting it.
Oh, that’s too bad. I hope you get a paperback copy of it soon.
I can’t wait to read Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera’s book! 🙂 I’m so excited about it.
I hope you love both of them.
I am so excited for Pride. Hoping to get to it before the end of the month. Happy reading!
Thanks. I hope you enjoy it, too.
I’ve seen LOTS of good things about Tahereh Mafi’s books, but so far, I haven’t read anything by her! Perhaps someday I’ll remedy this bookish oversight. Plus, I do love the cover for this new book by her! 🙂
Happy fall TBR-ing.
Thanks, and you as well.
“Sometimes I honestly enjoy looking forward to something than I do experiencing it.”
I can relate! Very interesting list. I don’t read a lot of YA and fantasy so this is vey intriguing.
It’s nice to meet a kindred spirit. I hope you found something on this list that intrigues you.
There are so many here I want to read too – especially Empress of All Seasons! I hadn’t heard of The Last Wish Of Sasha Cade but I’m definitely adding it to my TBR! Great list!
Thank you. Happy reading!
Pride and Odd One Out are also books I’m looking forward to reading.
I hope you enjoy them.
I read Pride & loved the nuanced look it brought to P&P, and that it touched on gentrification. I’m also super excited to read Home and Away (I have an ARC sitting on my shelf waiting!) and A Very Large Expanse of Sea. So many good books are coming out this Fall!
I couldn’t agree with you more there. So glad you liked Pride.
I have already read Pride and Sasha Cade. I thought Pride was a great retelling, and Sasha Cade was pretty emotional, and the ending was soooooooo good. I love endings like that. I hope to read Home and Away too. I like the description a lot.
I’m so glad you enjoyed both of those books. I hope Home and Away is just as good.
So many great books on your list! A Very Large Expanse of Sea was one of my picks, too. Hope you enjoy all of these!
Thank you. You, too!
Great list. Pride sounds particularly interesting. Hope you have a great week.
Thanks. You, too.
I’m really looking forward to What If It’s Us myself. 🙂
Thanks for visiting my blog earlier.
You’re welcome. Have a nice week.
Anticipation is the best! It’s always nice to have something to look forward to. 🙂
The Last Wish of Sasha Cade and The brilliant Death both look like fascinating reads- love the premise of both!
I couldn’t agree with you more there. Happy reading!
I’m super excited for Pride and What If It’s Us, but hadn’t heard of any of the others. So thanks, I guess, for adding a solid eight books to my wish list! What a great list!
You’re very welcome. What a wonderful compliment.
What If It’s Us sounds like it’s going to be fabulous.
I know, right? Hope you like it.
Oh no, a Pride and Prejudice retelling. My major weakness… (I’m not much of a contemporary fan, unless you throw Jane Austen in. Pride sounds like it will be a cool read!)
I hope you love it. 🙂
What If It’s Us, Odd One Out, & A Very Large Expanse of Sea are all books I am hoping to read too! I have preordered WIIU! I hope you like all the books you read and thank you for checking out my post!
You’re welcome. Have a great week.
I am definitely waiting for the Empress book! I’m also super curious about The Brillant Death, the premise sounds amazing.
I hope you enjoy both of them a lot.
I might end up checking out A Very Large Expanse of Sea. It sounds interesting.
Cool! Have a great time with it.
Great picks.. 🙂 I NEED to have “What if It’s Us”.. I heard Becky and Adam will visit Philippines this December and I’m gonna see them. 🙂 🙂
I’ll look out for your reviews. 🙂
You’re welcome. I wasn’t sure if I was going to write reviews of them, but your comments make me think maybe I should.
Great TBR! I had never even heard of Empress of all Seasons before!! It sounds so good!!! *adds to every list imaginable*
Happy Reading!!
Aww, thank you! I hope Empress of All Seasons is as good as it sounds.
Several of these looks pretty interesting. 🙂
I’m quite glad to hear that.
I’m definitely excited for What If It’s Us, and I’ve been hearing good things about Pride. I also want to read Mafi’s upcoming book! 🙂
-Lauren
I hope all of your expectations are met for those books and then some. They sure sound good to me.
Great list! I want to read pretty much all of these too, especially Pride and Empress of All Seasons.
Thank you. I hope you enjoy Pride and Empress of All Seasons.
I haven’t read Pride and Prejudice, but I AM interested in seeing how Zoboi will adapt it for today. Maybe that will get me interested in reading the original novel?
The Brilliant Death sounds super interesting – I’ll have to check it out soon and see if it’ll be something I’ll read when it comes out. Honestly, I think I added a lot more books to my TBR this Tuesday because I keep forgetting, haha.
Best of luck on your TBR this fall!
Thanks.
I haven’t read Pride and Prejudice either, but the retelling sure does sound interesting.
I hope you like The Brilliant Death. Top Ten Tuesday is a great opportunity to add a lot of new titles to your TBR for sure.
Oooh, I’m also excited for What If It’s Us and Empress of All Seasons! I’ve read all of Becky Albertalli’s books but I still have yet to read an Adam Silvera book. Really need to change that…
Hope you enjoy all these books when they release! 🙂
Thank you. You, too.
I am so jazzed for What If It’s Us!
Yay! I hope you love it.
Oh Pride had such a gorgeous cover. Great list!
Thank you. I thought it was a beautiful cover as well.
Great list! I can not wait for What If It’s Us to be released at last – it feels like I’m been anticipating this book for so long now that I’m still slightly shocked that it is nearly here!
Thank you. I hope you enjoy What If It’s Us.
It looks like you have some really intersting books on your tbr i dont really keep up with releases so i hadn’t heard of most of these. I am looking forward to reading Becky Albertali’s newest book since she is one of my favorite authors. Thanks for being these awesome books to my attention!
You’re welcome. Becky Albertali’s new book does sound really good, so my fingers are crossed that you’ll like it.
There are so many great sounding books coming out this Fall. Happy reading!
Thank you! I hope you have plenty of great stuff to read this autumn as well.
Interesting list bc I’m not familiar with any of them! Happy reading!
The Brilliant Death sounds amazing! And set in Italy?? I’m so glad you introduced me to this book 🙂
