State of the ARC is a monthly meme hosted by Avalinah at Avalinah's Books! It's an opportunity for readers to catch up on their long overdue ARCs, but I use it to keep up with my upcoming ARCs instead. Shhh... don't tell!

The Deceivers (The Valhalla Academy, #1) by Kristen Simmons
Wicked Saints (Something Dark and Holy, #1) by Emily A. Duncan
You'd Be Mine by Erin Hahn
Two Can Keep a Secret by Karen McManus
In Another Life by C.C. Hunter
To Best the Boys by Mary Weber
The Gilded Wolves (The Gilded Wolves, #1) by Roshani Chokshi

American Princess: A Novel of First Daughter Alice Roosevelt by Stephanie Marie Thornton
Glow: Book I, Potency by Aubrey Hadley
Happy New Year to me! I am really, really excited about my upcoming reads, and I hope they're all amazing! To Best the Boys is one I recently acquired, and I think I might start it first! Although, I've heard wonderful things about The Last Women in the Forest and You'd Be Mine, so it's hard to choose! What books are you anxiously awaiting this year? Let me know!
Looks like you have plenty of great reads lined up! Saving Meghan sounds really interesting.
ReplyDeleteI do! I'm having trouble deciding what I want to read. I know I should probably read them in the order they'll be released, but that never happens. ;)
DeleteI really want to read Two Can Keep a Secret. I have You'd Be Mine and The Deceivers, so I will be reading them for sure.
ReplyDeleteWould you want to borrow my copy when I'm finished? You can just mail it back to me when you're done! DM me your address on Twitter, or send me an email, and I'll get it to you. I'm really looking forward to both You'd Be Mine and The Deceivers! Two totally different books, but both sound awesome. <3
DeleteI'm really excited for Thee Last Woman in the Forest and Two Can Keep a Secret!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I'm starting Two Can Keep a Secret next for a blog tour post, and then I was thinking about reading The Last Woman in the Forest -- love the premise! :)
DeleteThe Gilded Wolves and the White Stag look good! Hope you enjoy and I hope the move went smoothly!
ReplyDeleteThe White Stag will be one of my next reads! I've seen mixed reviews for it, so hopefully it works out! The move wasn't smooth, but we've settled into the new place. Now we just have to find a new routine! :)
DeleteThe Gilded Wolves is one I'm looking forward to, but these all look great. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I've heard really great things about The Gilded Wolves, so I hope it meets expectations. <3
DeleteI'm really looking forward to hearing what you think, especially about Wicked Saints and The Gilded Wolves... Hope you have a good reading month!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard very much about The Wicked Saints, but the synopsis sounds really interesting! I'm really looking forward to the story and seeing if it meets my expectations! I hope your reading month is equally awesome! :)
DeleteOoh, there's like three of these I'm excited for in 2019! (But getting around to reading them is a different story...)
ReplyDeleteWhich three are you excited about? Hah! I know what you mean. Since moving, I've found very little time to sit down and read. There's always something else that needs to be done! Good luck with your books!
DeleteHappy new year girl!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope yours is lovely as well! <3
DeleteOoh, you have some incredible ARCs, Linsi! I'm excited to hear your thoughts on The Gilded Wolves and Wicked Saints. <3 Happy new year!

I believe those are the two books everyone is most excited for! I'm really excited to read both. :)
DeleteI'm really looking forward to Two Can Keep A secret!!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I started White Stag today, and Two Can Keep a Secret will be my next read. Fingers crossed they're both amazing! :)
DeleteOoh, some great looking books waiting for you there! I've not got any of these myself so I'll be interested to know what you think of them
ReplyDeleteI'm interested to know what I think of them, too! Haha! I have to start making time for reading again. I haven't felt like doing anything since the move -- organizing and cleaning seem to fill my days (only once the kids are asleep, because they're very demanding). ;)
DeleteI'm reading White Stag right now and I hate it. 😂
ReplyDeleteOh no! What do you hate? I'm only 10% in, so I don't have any strong feelings yet. I like the idea of goblins and the Permafrost, but some of the language feels weird. We'll see where it goes! I'm sorry it isn't working for you.
DeleteOoooo White Stag! I finished that the other day and it was okay??? Not a big fan, but I didn't hate it either. Hopefully you'll enjoy it though!
ReplyDeleteI actually DNFd that one earlier today! Janneke and Soren act like total strangers even though they've been together for a century. It was a little frustrating, and often repetitive.
DeleteI read You'd Be Mine a couple months ago and loved it! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteNoted! I'm really looking forward to that one, so I'm happy to hear you loved it! <3
DeleteI'm excited to hear what you say about The Gilded Wolves! The cover is beyond gorgeous! I read The Star-Touched Queen and absolutely loved the writing and story but was unable to connect to the characters or romance. I'm hoping this book will be a better fit for me.

The Gilded Wolves is coming up soon! I'm trying to read them in order, and I believe it has an earlier release date. I actually had to make a list this month to keep track of which books where coming out when, and which ones were for a blog tour -- phew! I'm behind because of the move, and I'm still trying to catch up from my week off.
DeleteI hope it's a better fit for you! I always have trouble with books when I'm unable to connect to the characters.
