Top Ten Tuesday: Books I’d Slay a Lion to Get Early
Some of these books I’d probably go crazier over than others, but I’d definitely love to have ANY of them early. Do we have any in common? Or did you find something new to wish for? Let me know in the comments! These aren’t in any particular order, by the way!
10 Books I'd Slay a Lion to Get Early - #toptentuesday #bookbloggers Click To TweetNumber 1: What If Itβs Us by Adam Silvera and Becky Albertalli – add on GoodreadsΒ
- I love both of these authors, so a book they wrote together? Give it to me now!! It comes out on October 9th…ugh, too far away.
Number 2: Lethal White by Robert Galbraith- add on Goodreads
- Guys, we only have a title for this one! But in case you don’t know, Robert Galbraith is actually J.K. Rowling and this would be the fourth in her Cormoran Strike series (I LOVE the first three and I’ve been dying for more!)
Number 3: The Shimmer by Carsten Stroud- add on GoodreadsΒ
- A killer that can go back in time? Sign me up! Thankfully, this comes out on June 5th so not too long now!
Number 4: Find You in the Dark by Nathan Ripley- add on GoodreadsΒ
- A guy whose hobby is digging up murder victims? Um, say what now? I need to know more! This one comes out on June 19th, so not too long to wait either!
Number 5: The Ladyβs Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee- add on Goodreads
- I LOVED A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, and this is a companion novel about Monty’s sister, Felicity. Yay! It comes out on October 2nd…sigh. Come soon, October? You’re my favorite!
Number 6: An Assassin’s Guide to Love and Treason by Virginia Boecker- add on Goodreads
- Treason, murder plots, Shakespeare plays! Count me in! Another October release…this time October 23rd.
Number 7: Jack of Hearts (and Other Parts) by Lev A.C. Rosen- add on Goodreads
- How fierce and fun is this cover? There isn’t a long summary yet but it does say “unapologeticallyΒ sexually active gay teenager” and I’m all about that! This one comes out on October 30th!
Number 8 Escaping from Houdini by Kerri Maniscalco- add on Goodreads
- The first two books in this series are amazing, and I cannot wait for the third! This one comes out on September 18th, so at least it’s not October, right?
Number 9: Firestarter by Tara Sim- add on Goodreads
- No cover for this one yet either, and it’s release date is January 9th 2019, but I do still need to read the second book in the series. I’m sure I’ll love it though since Timekeeper was amazing.
Number 10: #Murdertrending by Gretchen McNeil- add on GoodreadsΒ
- You can now live stream the executions of convicted criminals…interesting concept, isn’t it? This one comes out on on August 7th!
I don’t believe I’m familiar with any of these. I’m kind of out of the loop lately of the upcoming books, so I’m definitely looking into some of them
Escaping from Houdini and The Lady’s Guide made my list this week too!
Oooh I am OBVIOUSLY stoked for What If It’s Us, too! I’ve been trying to request it on Edelweiss, but that’s not working out well for me. I didn’t love Boecker’s witch book, but The Assassin’s Guide to Love and Treason looks VERY interesting. #Murdertrending does have a cool concept. β₯
I am actually dreading what JKR has in store for Lethal White, bc I need Cormoran and Robin to sort themselves out bc my heart cannot take it LOL! FDind You in the Dark is just all sorts of creepy but so good at the same time! Great list Lauren!
i’m always looking for great books! thanks for this!
What If It’s Us and Lady’s Guide made my list this week as well! I’d never heard of #murdertrending but it does sound quite interesting. I’ll have to look into that one a bit.
Great list!

My Top Ten Tuesday!
Nice list! I need to check out the other books from escaping from Houdini.
My TTT.
What If Its Us was on our list this week as well. I can’t wait to read it.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
A lot of these are new to me, but they sound good. I actually have a copy of Stalking Jack the Ripper that I need to read. I’ve heard a lot of good things about it, but I kind of want to read it in the fall.
You always have a lot of great books to recommend! I hope you get to read these soon!
There is another book by Mackenzi Lee. Yikes, I have the first one and need to start.
Hahaha I love the title of this post! It is so fun seeing all the lists for books to come out this year. Sounds like you have some good ones on your radar.
i heard about some but I haven’t read any
Great list! π
I can’t wait to read #MurderTrending! It sounds so good!
I haven’t heard of any of these, BUT I am excited that I finished a book that I’ve been reading since January last night. LOL. π

Assassin’s Guide looks awesome!
So many of these sound so good! I also just love the title of this post
I hadn’t heard of any of these yet! I’m always on the lookout for new reads! I’m going to the library after work today although I know these won’t be there yet, I still can’t wait.
I had just heard about Jack of Hearts. That sounds fun and The Lady’s Guide and What if it’s Us.

I haven’t read anything Rowling’s written as Galbraith. One of these days, I need to give the series a go. Also, #murdertrending looks really good.
Happy TTT!

Yes! What If It’s Us? I recently finished They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera, and now I want to read everything he writes.
Do You Dog-ear?
I am really looking forward to Escaping from Houdini as well. And I need What If It’s Us too. I don’t know how to prepare my heart though. Adam Silvera is known for his gut-wrenching novels and Becky Albertalli for her light ones. I don’t know what to expect!
Great list!! Find You in the Dark by Nathan Ripley looks SO good!!
Firestarter was on my list this week too!
I have An Assassinβs Guide to Love and Treason. I like the combination of things mentioned in the blurb, and the time period always works for me too.
The Shimmer sounds freaky and fun, and I’m looking forward to #murdertrending as well π
Ahhh what an epic list! I’m SO keen for Firestarter too! (Says me who hasn’t read Chainbreaker yet lol lol but I swear I’ll get to it soon!) And also The Lady’s Guide because Monty and Felicity are my FAVES and I can’t wait to read more about them. ?Also What If It’s Us can’t come soon enough ahhh!!
“Lethal White” by jkr needs to be added to my list too. Thanks for keeping us all up to date on the what and when to be published! Thanks God you do this so well. I have no time for myself lately and I truly miss reading! This gives me the push I need.
A few of these sound interesting. Guess my books to read list is increasing more!
None of these book have been on my radar! I hope you are able to get your hands on a few of these π
I have not heard of any of these! I have definitely added a few to my tbr list! Thank you!!
I love the idea of slaying a lion to get a book early. There are a lot on my list that I can’t wait until they are released!
All of them go to my TBR list. Although I’m doing a lot more writing than reading lately, I really need to catch up.
God job here!
I can’t wait to read What If It’s Us too! I downloaded it from Edelweiss recently and it’s killing me to wait as I catch up on other review books.
I’m so behind in my reading. There is about two years worth of stuff waiting for me on my shelf – that being said, I’d sure do a lot to get my hands on the next Game of Thrones book if it ever gets written #happynow
These definitely sound like interesting reads! *-* I hadn’t heard of any of these!
Such a great list! I can’t wait to read What If It’s Us either, I love both of these authors and I am certain a collab will be fantastic!
I just got approved for #murdertrending on NetGalley and I can’t wait to get to it.
Great list!
Murder Trending caught my eye. π
SO MANY AMAZING BOOKS!!! I really can’t wait to read Escaping From Houdini??
Wow there are a lot of good ones here! I didn’t even know about some of the series ones. Thanks for sharing!
Definitely so looking forward to What If It’s Us as well!
