Besides the UK release of Heartless by Marissa Meyer, the only book that has been making waves in the book blogosphere ahead of its publication is This Is Our Story by Ashley Elston. That being said, I prefer the flatter book cover designs of The Darkest Minds trilogy by Alexandra Bracken. If you prefer paperbacks to hardcovers, and are looking for completed series, you might want to check them out.
Hot off the Press – November 7, 2016
As we approach the end of the year, the publishing industry once again heads into a lull. There are more paperback and re-releases than new ones. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. If you’re like me, you’ll have acquired quite a lot of 2016-releases without having had the time to read them all. Now’s the time to catch up on all those books before things pick up again in January. That being said, I definitely recommend you pick up Heartless by Marissa Meyer. It’s one of my favourites this year.

HEARTLESS by Marissa Meyer
Before reading Heartless, I made sure to read Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.

With this retelling on the horizon, however, I decided it was finally time to read the books.
