This week we have the 'rewind' where you can go back and revisit a topic you've missed. Last week we had:
Ten Books You'd Buy Right This Second If Someone Handed You A Fully Loaded Gift Card. I am already buying books like a maniac, so I'm putting a spin on it.
It's about a boy.
His name is Clay.
He's building a bridge.
And he wants that bridge to be something truly great and miraculous.
In case you don't know,
The Book Thief is one of my favorite books ever. It's one of the few stories that made me cry on the outside. I've re-read it so many times that I lost count and it never fails to touch me. This book was supposed to be out in 2011, but was postponed and no one knows when it will be published.

A new YA fantasy in which elemental powers are reawakened after a genocide, and a girl realizes she has the power to control the earth on the same day she marries the king who hunted the Elementae to extinction.
Publication somewhere in 2017. I loved
Scarlet,
Lady Thief and
Lion Heart. This was such a strong series about a Robin Hood retelling and I can't wait to read more from this author. The romance from Terra also sounds like a potential love-to-hate relationship, which I love.

No title, no further information about the blurb. It will be published May 4th 2017 and the wait is going to be hard. And let's be real, I will read anything she writes:
Twilight of the Gods. WIP.
Crescent city. WIP.
Catwoman.
Novella about Chaol. That is a lot of new books to look forward to! And of course we got the news that there will be more books published in ACOTAR. Exciting stuff is happening.

On the eve of a new decade, after two hundred years of Scion rule, a revolution is beginning. Its unlikely cradle is the clairvoyant underworld in London, and even an old ally’s betrayal cannot stop it. But an enemy from Paige Mahoney’s past is about to return – an enemy that could quench the flame of hope for good.. Publication was pushed back to March 7th 2017. I'm not a fan of the new covers, but I am a fan of the story inside
The Bone Season and
The Mime Order, so I need this in my hands!

There are two rival schools in Gatlon City: the respected and exclusive Morris Academy that has turned many an evolved youth into celebrity superheroes, and the Gatlon School for the Gifted, which has a slightly less impressive reputation. Students of Gatlon tend to be relegated to minions, placeholders, or—at best—sidekicks. Clara has no interest in being a hero, but she does need answers. Her invisible, mischievous pet Thunderbird, Tondra, is dying, and she refuses to let him go without a fight. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lot more happening in Gatlon than just a sickly mythical bird. Crime is on the rise, the police have gone complacent, and a new team of vigilantes are causing more problems than they’re fixing. When Clara and her peers find themselves swept up in the chaos and no longer able to tell the good guys from the bad, no one is sure which side of hero vs. villain they’ll fall on.
As far as I know there is no exact publication date, but I believe it will be published somewhere in 2017. My love for her books
Cinder,
Scarlet (my favorite),
Cress,
Winter,
Fairest and
Stars Above is big. We also have Heartless to look forward to, publication in November this year, and
Wires and Nerves January 2017.

Schwab has stated that the third book in The Archived trilogy has been outlined/plotted, and although she isn't yet sure when the book will be released.

Publication 2017.

Vengeful has no information.
My love for her books can't be expressed in words and I am so excited this is going to be a thing. I don't know how long we have to wait, but it will be worth it. It all started with
The Near Witch, then
The Archived -
The Unbound and
Vicious. But,
A Darker Shade of Magic and
A gathering of shadows are beyond perfection and this is one of my all time favorite series. I can't wait to find out how it is all going to end.

Beauty knows the Beast’s forest in her bones—and in her blood. Though she grew up with the city’s highest aristocrats, far from her father’s old lodge, she knows that the forest holds secrets and that her father is the only hunter who’s ever come close to discovering them. So when her father loses his fortune and moves Yeva and her sisters back to the outskirts of town, Yeva is secretly relieved. Out in the wilderness, there’s no pressure to make idle chatter with vapid baronessas…or to submit to marrying a wealthy gentleman. But Yeva’s father’s misfortune may have cost him his mind, and when he goes missing in the woods, Yeva sets her sights on one prey: the creature he’d been obsessively tracking just before his disappearance. Deaf to her sisters’ protests, Yeva hunts this strange Beast back into his own territory—a cursed valley, a ruined castle, and a world of creatures that Yeva’s only heard about in fairy tales. A world that can bring her ruin or salvation. Who will survive: the Beauty, or the Beast? Publication March 14th 2017. PLEASE LET THIS BE GOOD. Beauty and the beast retellings are my life. I have never read anything by this author before, but this blurb almost sounds too good to be true. The fact that the trend of (fairytale) retellings is still going strong in 2017 makes me extremely happy.

Untitled as of yet, but going by the code name 'girlnovel' on Stiefvater's blog, will be her first adult novel, paranormal, standalone, and will involve "a pack of girl street-racers" and "bad decisions". The narrator of the novel will be named Hennessy. You can follow anything Stiefvater wants to share about it on her blog in the #girlnovel tag.
I loved everything about The Raven Cycle (with
The Raven Boys,
The Dream Thieves,
Blue Lily Lily Blue and
The Raven King) and count is also one of my all time favorite series, so I'm highly anticipating everything Stiefvater will write in the future. I have yet to read The Scorpion Races and her Shiver series, so at least I have some things to look forward to.

August 2017. Another author that makes me want to read anything she writes. I loved
Shadow and Bones +
Siege and storm and I am the biggest fan of
Six of Crows, so I have high hopes for Wonder Woman.

Strange the Dreamer is the story of:
the aftermath of a war between gods and men
a mysterious city stripped of its name
a mythic hero with blood on his hands
a young librarian with a singular dream
a girl every bit as perilous as she is imperiled
alchemy and blood candy, nightmares and godspawn, moths and monsters, friendship and treachery, love and carnage.
Welcome to Weep.
March 28th 2017. I fell in love with her stunning writing in her Daughter of Smoke and Bone series (with
Daughter of Smoke and Bone,
Days of Blood and Starlight and
Dreams of Gods and Monsters). It has been too long. I can't wait.

Sybella and Beast to the treacherous French Court with the Duchess Anne, where a mysterious mole from the convent may or may not have gone rogue 2018. You have NO IDEA how happy this makes me. I may have cried some happy tears. If you ask me for my favorite series, I think I will name this one after Harry Potter. It is glorious and the fact that the sequel is about my two favorite characters in the series, makes me even happier.
So, what books are you waiting for?
