2020 Anticipated Book Releases (January-March)

Hey guys, this is Abi here,
And today I'll be posting my Anticipated Book Releases (up to the end of March at least-because it would be a heck of a long list if it was just one for the entire year.)

January Releases
1. This Vicious Cure (This Mortal Coil #3), by Emily Suvada
Release date: 23/1/20
This is released in a matter of days and even though I (probably) won't get to it for a while, because of the amount of books I already plan to read, I can say that I've been anticipating this since I read book 2 last January. To add to that, usually these are released back in September, but the release date was pushed back to this January, which makes me want to read this all the more. The This Mortal Coil trilogy is a sci-fi series that has everything to do with DNA. Set in a world that is in ruins, Catarina must travel to the place where her father was taken and killed, in the hope of decrypting an unknown message that may save the world. A lot has happened since that and I'm looking forward to seeing how this will all wrap up in this final book.
February Releases
2. Heartstopper Vol 3 (Heartstopper #3), by Alice Oseman
Release date: 6/2/20
Last year I became obsessed with this LGBT graphic novel series and it's probably the one that I'm most anticipating out of everything that is on this list. These are so fun to read in one setting. So much so, that I've done it twice! These characters are just so cute and so wonderful that, when I'm reading these, my emotions all come through in a rush, without warning. It's so easy to love them, and to wish them the best even though you know it's probably not going to. Can't wait to see what happens in the third volume!
3. Of Curses and Kisses, by Sandhu Menon
Release date: 18/2/20
I literally only heard about this when I was doing the research for this post. I haven't heard anybody talking about it on Booktube, but that doesn't matter. Of Curses and Kisses is by the bestselling author of When Dimple Met Rishi and I am very excited for this novel, even though I never got to her previous series. Of Curses and Kisses is a sort of contemporary Beauty and the Beast retelling, and it sounds interesting to be honest. Looking forward to reading my first Sandhu Menon book.

March Releases
4. Only Mostly Devastated, by Sophie Gonzales
Release date: 3/3/20
All I needed to know about this was that it's a LGBT version of Grease the Musical. Having read the synopsis on Goodreads, I am down for this novel, and I'm hoping that I will love it as much as I love Heartstopper. Grease the Musical is probably one of my favourite, and I'm not the only one. I've been to see the show twice, and it's always on at some theatre of another near my town, year after year. Aside from that, one of the characters will have to make the decision as for whether to love who he wants to love, and risk losing all of his friends, or to stay in the closet. This book should be interesting.
5. The Kingdom of Back, by Marie Lu
Release date: 3/3/20
After loving Wildcard, back in December (which seems like so long ago, even though it was last month), I've been eager to get my hands on another Marie Lu novel. And what better novel to pick up, then one that's all about classical music? The Kingdom of Back is read from the POV of Nannerl, the older sister of Mozart, who's dreams of being a classical composer will end when she reaches a marriageable age. However, all that might change when a mysterious stranger approaches her with an offer. But his help will cost her everything. Is it worth it? One thing I will say is that I'm looking forward to seeing how Marie Lu's first historical fiction novel will turn out.

6. All Your Twisted Secrets, by Diana Urban
Release date: 17/3/20
This for sure sounds like a book that I have never read before. After reading the synopsis on Goodreads, my first thought was that it sounds like Saw II. A number of teenagers in a trapped house, with the choice: one of them must die, or all of them will. (There's a bomb in the room.) They all have shady secrets, that they will keep hidden by any cost. They're all also from totally different social groups as well so it's also like The Breakfast Club. This is meant to be for fans of Karen McManus' books (and One of Us Is Next is actually on my TBR for next month so go figure.)
Okay! I hope you enjoyed this post, and let me know if any of these books interest you as well, and we can talk about them! If not, then let me know what you guys are anticipating (I bet at least one of you are waiting for Chain of Gold).
I hope you have a wonderful day and I'll see you all soon!
Byeeeeee!
