Lisa's Top November Releases

It’s Me!

So if the title hasn’t given anything away yet, I’m here today to tell you the five books I’m dying to finally having released in the month of November! And of course, why that it is! If you are just sitting on the edge of your seat, waiting for any of these titles below to finally hit the book store, feel free to comment down below! Or if you’re excited for other November releases that aren’t mentioned here, also feel free to comment! Either way I would love to hear what you’re anticipating and why!

Here are my books:

Champion by Marie Lu.

“June and Day have sacrificed so much for the people of the Republic—and each other—and now their country is on the brink of a new existence. June is back in the good graces of the Republic, working within the government’s elite circles as Princeps Elect while Day has been assigned a high level military position. But neither could have predicted the circumstances that will reunite them once again. Just when a peace treaty is imminent, a plague outbreak causes panic in the Colonies, and war threatens the Republic’s border cities. This new strain of plague is deadlier than ever, and June is the only one who knows the key to her country’s defense. But saving the lives of thousands will mean asking the one she loves to give up everything he has. With heart-pounding action and suspense, Marie Lu’s bestselling trilogy draws to a stunning conclusion.”

My friend was actually the one who constantly pushed me to check out Legend and to read it. She’s a die-hard fan. And while I do have to admit the way Day and June meet in Legend is a bit predictable, I was still completely head over heels for it! I can’t wait to see what Marie Lu has in store for both the readers and for June and Day! 

Crash Into You, by Katie McGarry.

“The girl with straight As, designer clothes and the perfect life—that’s who people expect Rachel Young to be. So the private-school junior keeps secrets from her wealthy parents and overbearing brothers and she’s just added two more to the list. One involves racing strangers down dark country roads in her Mustang GT. The other? Seventeen-year-old Isaiah Walker—a guy she has no business even talking to. But when the foster kid with the tattoos and intense gray eyes comes to her rescue, she can’t get him out of her mind.

Isaiah has secrets, too. About where he lives, and how he really feels about Rachel. The last thing he needs is to get tangled up with a rich girl who wants to slum it on the south side for kicks—no matter how angelic she might look.

But when their shared love of street racing puts both their lives in jeopardy, they have six weeks to come up with a way out. Six weeks to discover just how far they’ll go to save each other.”

Crash Into You has been on my mind, ever since I read and reviewed Pushing The Limits! I loved Katie McGarry’s writing style, and she almost reminded me of Simone Elkeles and her Perfect Chemistry trilogy. I’m excited to read this one, and see what Rachel and Ian get themselves into, and how far they truly will go just to save one another. 

The Fiery Heart, by Richelle Mead.

“In The Indigo Spell, Sydney was torn between the Alchemist way of life and what her heart and gut were telling her to do. And in one breathtaking moment that Richelle Mead fans will never forget, she made a decision that shocked even her. . . .

But the struggle isn’t over for Sydney. As she navigates the aftermath of her life-changing decision, she still finds herself pulled in too many directions at once. Her sister Zoe has arrived, and while Sydney longs to grow closer to her, there’s still so much she must keep secret. Working with Marcus has changed the way she views the Alchemists, and Sydney must tread a careful path as she harnesses her profound magical ability to undermine the way of life she was raised to defend. Consumed by passion and vengeance, Sydney struggles to keep her secret life under wraps as the threat of exposure—and re-education—looms larger than ever.

Pulses will race throughout this smoldering fourth installment in the New York Times bestselling Bloodlines series, where no secret is safe.”

This series has been around for so long, and I’ve been meaning to start reading it for a few years now, but still haven’t. I’ve read the first book in the Vampire Academy series, I purchased the rest of them as well as her Bloodlines series, but still haven’t picked them up. I’m so excited and I’m always hearing and reading good reviews, but still I always find myself having to read something else first. With winter break coming up soon (ish), I might just have to marathon these two series, and finally get them read!

Loud Awake and Lost, by Adele Griffin.

“LOUD. There was an accident. Ember knows at least that much. She was driving. The car was totaled. She suffered back injuries and brain trauma. But she is alive. That’s the only thing left she can cling to.

AWAKE. Eight months later, Ember feels broken. The pieces of her former self no longer fit together. She can’t even remember the six weeks of her life leading up to the accident. Where was she going? Who was she with? And what happened during those six weeks that her friends and family won’t talk about?

LOST. One by one, Ember discovers the answers to these questions, like a twisted game of dominos. And little by little, the person she used to be slips further and further away.”

A few years ago, when I first started blogging, I headed to the library and found this creepy book called Tighter by Adele Griffin. I was completely creeped out and loved it. Looking back at it now, it probably wasn’t THAT scary, but still I read it in one or two sittings, and could barely force myself to put it down. Since then I haven’t read anything about Adele Griffin, or heard any new books coming out, until now. And that’s why I’m excited to this book to come out, I want to see what Adele Griffin has in store!

Ketchup Clouds, by Annabel Pitcher.

“Zoe has an unconventional pen pal-Mr. Stuart Harris, a Texas Death Row inmate and convicted murderer. But then again, Zoe has an unconventional story to tell. A story about how she fell for two boys, betrayed one of them, and killed the other.

Hidden away in her backyard shed in the middle of the night with a jam sandwich in one hand and a pen in the other, Zoe gives a voice to her heart and her fears after months of silence. Mr. Harris may never respond to Zoe’s letters, but at least somebody will know her story-somebody who knows what it’s like to kill a person you love. Only through her unusual confession can Zoe hope to atone for her mistakes that have torn lives apart, and work to put her own life back together again.”

I haven’t heard anything about this book, nor about Annabel Pitcher, but when I got the chance to read the synopsis, it was going right onto this release list! She’s a teenage girl who fell in love with two boys, betrayed one, killed the other and she writes letters, explaining this to a man in prison who is on death row?! Okay, how crazy is that!? Doesn’t that make you want to buy the book?

Thank you so much for stopping by, and checking out this new type of post I’m trying out! If you like it, be sure to let us know!
