Kayla's Top Ten(ish) Most Anticipated Releases For the Rest of 2015



1. The Philosopher Kings (Thessaly #2) by Jo Walton
June 30, 2015

I really enjoyed the first book in this Thessaly series/duology/whatever (my review is HERE), and I've been anxiously awaiting The Philosopher Kings. There's a bit of a cliffhanger at the end of The Just City, but Jo Walton's writing is super smart. If you like anything to do with Greek mythology, I can almost guarantee that you'll enjoy this.





2. Darkhaven by A.F.E. Smith
July 2, 2015

It's a fantasy novel with an alicorn on the cover. Why wouldn't I want to read it?!

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine and spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.



Title: Ink and Bone (The Great Library #1)
Author:
Rachel Caine
Publisher: NAL (Penguin)
Release Date: July 7, 2015

In an exhilarating new series, New York Times bestselling author Rachel Caine rewrites history, creating a dangerous world where the Great Library of Alexandria has survived the test of time...

Ruthless and supremely powerful, the Great Library is now a presence in every major city, governing the flow of knowledge to the masses. Alchemy allows the Library to deliver the content of the greatest works of history instantly—but the personal ownership of books is expressly forbidden.

Jess Brightwell believes in the value of the Library, but the majority of his knowledge comes from illegal books obtained by his family, who are involved in the thriving black market. Jess has been sent to be his family’s spy, but his loyalties are tested in the final months of his training to enter the Library’s service.

When he inadvertently commits heresy by creating a device that could change the world, Jess discovers that those who control the Great Library believe that knowledge is more valuable than any human life—and soon both heretics and books will burn...



I would have been interested in anything that Rachel Caine writes, but this book just makes me bubble with excitement. The Great Library of Alexandria! Book burning! Oppression of books! Plus, the cover is just gorgeous

What are you waiting on this week?
