Hey guys, this is Abi here,
And I'm here with my Anticipated Releases for the last three months of 2024! Where has the time gone?
I'll need to start thinking about my end of year posts before I know it!
Anyway, time to get on.
There aren't a lot of books I'm anticipating for these months, given to the already substantial pile I own, but that would never stop me from looking!
Without further ado, I hope you enjoy.

1. What Does It Feel Like? by Sophie Kinsella
Release date: 8/10/2024
"From #1 bestselling author Sophie Kinsella, an urforgettable story- by turns heartbreaking and life-affirming- of a renowned novelist facing a devastating diagnosis and learning to live and love anew."
Eve is a succesful novelist who one day, wakes up in a hospital bed, with no memory of how she came to reside there. Filled in by her husband, she comes to understand about the operation the doctors performed to remove the malignant tumour growing in her brain.
What follows is a ground-breaking, moving story about how she learns to walk, talk and write again- as well as how best to explain it to her children. After some time, she begins to remember what she holds the most dear: walks with her husband, family game nights, and buying the dress she likes, when she likes it.
What Does It Feel Like is very much a telling of Sophie Kinsella's journey, but with fictional characters. And I am very interesting in reading it.
2. Fledgling: The Keeper's Records of Revolution, by S.K. Ali
Release date: 8/10/2024
Fledgling: The Keeper's Records of Revolution is a story about two sides of a coin. It follows Raisa, of upper earth, that believes her marriage to Lein, Crown Prince of the corrupt lower earth, will bring peace to both their lands. She has led a privileged life, and knows she must do her duty if there is to be an end to everyone's suffering.
On the other side of the coin is Nada, of lower earth, who is fresh from a prison cell. He has found his true calling: to stop the Royal Wedding. He believes that if he allows his cousin to form an allegiance with the upper earth, it will plunge the country into an era of tyranny.
When Raisa goes missing a week before the wedding, all eyes turn to the rebels, including Nayf- Nada's brother, a fugitive on the run. But when Nayf and Raisa meet, worlds collide- and they start to feel things that nobody is expecting.
Okay, I love the cover, I love the feel. It reminds me so much of Legend, by Marie Lu, and it's been ages since I've read something from the Sci-fi/ Fantasy genre, so I was really excited when I came across this when I was searching anticipated releases.
3. The Blue Hour, by Paula Hawkins
Release date: 10/10/2024
The Blue Hour:
-Takes place at an isolated island, which is only reachable 12 hours a day.
-Was once the home of a painter, and her notoriously unfaithful husband, who disappeared twenty years ago.
- Now home to Grace, who is content in her isolation, revelling in her alonness.
But then, when an astonishing discovery is made in an art gallery, miles away, in London, a visitor comes calling. And all the secrets of the island emerge...
This book keeps cropping up on my socials, it won't stay out of my head. And I was thinking just yesterday how much I want to re-read The Girl on the Train. Should The Blue Hour take it's place?

1. Flopping in a Winter Wonderland, by Jason June
Release date: 12/11/2024
I can't quite wrap my head around this plot, based on the synopsis, but I do know that this is a Christmas LGBT romance, set in Winter Wonderland, which is a big Christmas Village. Aaron wants his brother to keep away from his ex-girlfriend, and Kris wants his uncle to move back to the Christmas Village, so he can be the first gay santa. To do that, he needs to win the race, his grade's annual competition to get a guest to confess their love to them.
Kris and Aaron agree to help eachother with their own tasks, but when they start to spend more and more time together, things go in a direction neither of them were expecting...
I love this premise (think I've figured it out, by typing it out) cos it just sounds so damn cute! I can't remember the last time I read a winter YA romance, and I'm super hyped for it's release.
2. Rani Choudbury Must Die, by Adiba Jaigirdar
Release date: 12/11/2024
Of course I have to finish November with an Adiba Jaigirdar novel! I actually need to catch up on a couple of her more recently released novels, as I've only read two of her books so far, but this looked too interesting to pass up.
Meghna Rahman is tired of constantly being compared to her ex best friend, now rival, Rani Choudbury. Everyone, with the exception of her boyfriend Zak, seem to think that nothing Rani does is wrong- even her parents. The worst part of this is the fact that Rani's projects always get accepted to the Young Scientist Exhibition- and Meghna's always seem to fall short.
Rani is tired of feeling like she has no control in her life. Her mother always has something to say about how she thinks she should act better, or date her extremely close friend- Zak.
When Meghna and Rani realise that Zak has been playing them both for idiots, they decide to team up, creating an app for seaking and revealing cheaters- with the idea that they can expose Zak for the traitor he is.
I like Adiba Jaigirdrar for the funny, light-hearted tone she has with her novels. And with it being a couple of years since I've picked up one of her books- I say it's high time that I start reading them again!
~December~
NONE AT ALL.
I don't know what's up with me, but none of these really stick out, to be honest.
If there's one that you're really looking forward to being released, by all means, stick it in the comments, and I'll consider it.
Okay! Those are all the books I'm anticipating for the three final months of 2024!
Like I said up top, if there are any books you're excited for, just comment them down below!
Right! That's everything I have for you guys, so I will see you all soon, with my September Wrap Up (it'll be a long one, because of the readathon, so stay tuned for that.)
I hope you have a wonderful day, and I'll see you all at the end of the month!
Byeeee!
-Abi xxxxx
