---- 5 Most Anticipated Books of 2014 ----

Last year introduced me to some great new series and authors, and the only downside to that is the amount of money I'll spend this year to keep up with them. Nevertheless, I'm seriously excited to buy tons of different books this year, so I decided to make a little list of the five I'm most anticipating.

5. The Murder Complex by Lindsay Cummings
Publication (expected) = June 10th 2014
This book is Lindsay Cumming's debut novel, and also the first in a series . Duology, trilogy, I have no idea yet; all I can say is that the cover is BEAUTIFUL and the story sounds like just the sort of thing I like. Gore, romance and assassins, what more could you ask for in a book? I definitely have high hopes for it and am really interested to start the series.

4. The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey
Publication (expected) = September 16th 2014
Although I didn't enjoy 'The 5th Wave' as much as I'd hoped, I still found the plot captivating enough to be excited for the release of this sequel. Aliens aren't something seen often in the YA genre, so despite my issues with the first book I am intrigued to see where the series is headed. I'll definitely be buying it come September, and maybe I'll give The 5th Wave another go, too.

3. Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas
Publication (expected) = September 2nd 2014
I went into the Throne of Glass series without much experience in the fantasy genre, and came out realizing how amazing it is and how many possibilities there are for great stories. The first two books, 'Throne of Glass' and 'Crown of Midnight' were so enjoyable and unique, blending troubled love, fierce assassins and a unique world into two beautiful books. I can't wait for this sequel and I'm really excited for the future of this series.

2. The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan
Publication (expected) = October 7th 2014
I can't wait for the release of this book and yet I'm dreading it at the same time - 'The Blood of Olympus' is the fifth and final book in the Heroes of Olympus series, marking the end of a nine year journey with Percy Jackson and co. Rick Riordan is an undeniably talented writer and I have no doubt that this final goodbye will be just as spectacular as the rest of the series - and definitely more emotional, too. *Sniff*

1. City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare
Publication = May 27th 2014
Many people know and love 'Mortal Instruments' series, so you're probably already aware that the sixth and final book is being released next month. I'm excited to step back into the Shadowhunter world with all the characters, but also sad that this will be the last time I can. On the upside, I haven't read the 'Infernal Devices' trilogy yet so at least I won't have to completely say goodbye to the world. You can read my blog post on my expectations for this book here.

So those are my five most anticipated book releases this year, plus a few books coming up from popular authors who deserve an honourable mention:

                                    . Landline by Rainbow Rowell - no publication date

. Armada by Ernest Cline - no publication date

. The Young Elites by Marie Lu - no publication date

Thanks for reading :)
