TTT - 2019 Anticipated and Lesser Known Releases I Want NOW!

The top 10 weekly meme used to be hosted by The Broke and the Bookish they  handed over the reins to ThatArtsyReaderGirl who can be found HERE.  Each week she will focus on lists which cover various topics related to books and reading. 

So this week's topic is our most anticipated releases for the first half of 2019.  Well, I feature those a lot on my Can't Wait Wednesday posts as well as when I haul arcs and come on, it would be easy just to say ALL OF THEM!  So what I've decided to do instead is showcase some lesser known books or books from genres I don't feature a lot on The Farm that I really want to read.  That way you may find something new and intriguing. 

Also, you'll notice a lack of dog titles but that's because Booker T and Cass told me not to mention any because they have a fun post coming up later this month.


Trinity Row - Kelly Martin (March 5, 2019) Haunted house and evil spirits tale that isn't even up on Goodreads yet (so I can't link it).

Your Favorite Band Cannot Save You - Scotto Moore (February 5, 2019) About a band whose latest releases have a powerful effect on people.

Everything is Fine Now - Steve Rasnic Tem (January 21, 2018) A collection of horror featuring ghosts and other creatures.  And I'm not going to lie - that cover!

Chop Shop - Andrew Post (June 13, 2019) A suspended doctor and black market body parts.

Ghost Mine - Hunter Shea (May 9, 2019) Who cares what it's about?  For me, it's all about Hunter Shea!

The Dream Peddler - Martine Fournier Watson (April 9, 2019) A traveling salesman selling dreams to a devastated small town.

The Blood Heir (Blood Heir #1) - Amelie Wen Zhao (June 9, 2019) This one touts that the Princess is the monster.  It also has ice spirits, crime lords and frozen tundras.  Yes please!

The Third Wheel -Michael J. Ritchie (January 17, 2019) A man gets dating advice from an alien.

Contrition - Deborah Sheldon (January 15, 2019) - Indie horror by a female author and "...an atmosphere of mounting dread."

A Curse Dark and Lonely - Brigid Kemmerer (January 29, 2019) - So I had to give you one popular title which I am sure you will see lots of today (I could be wrong though). Stormi loved this one and if I didn't want it badly before, I definitely do now.

So there you have it.  Hopefully you've found a new title or two to interest you this week.

  1. I have that Hunter Shea one under a different name-not sure what the changes to it are so I'm not sure whether to read my version or get the new one!

  3. As always, I'm adding most of your chosen releases to my TBR. Your Favourite Band Cannot Save You sounds like it's going to be right up my alley, The Third Wheel sounds hilarious and I'm always a fan of short story collections.

    1. Yes, it's reissue under Flame Tree Press. I love how they are making all his covers compliment each other. I definitely see the "Creature" vibe on this one.

    1. Yea, Dream Peddler seems a tad more literary fiction but I loved the premise so I don't think I'll be able to resist.

  11. The cover for Trinity Row reminds me for the poster for The Haunting of Hill House - and that alone might have just sold me. :)

    1. I've got Not Even Bones out from my library now and it's about black market supernatural body parts. Must be a new trend in fiction. Can't say I mind.

  14. Oh boy, today's TTT lists are so dangerous because I'm learning about new books to add to my TBR left and right. The only one I've heard of on here is The Blood Heir!
