1. Girl Made of Stars by Ashley Herring Blake – Netgalley rejected me for the ARC and no one loved How to Make a Wish more than me. I am still bitter. But anyway… I am so excited to read this! Release date: May 15.
2. My Plain Jane (The Lady Janies #2) by Cynthia Hand, Jodi Meadows, Brodi Ashton/a> – I was in love with the first book when it was released, My Lady Jane, so I have high expectations for this. I hope this meets them. Release date: June 26.

11. Alphas Like Us (Like Us #3) by Krista Ritchie, Becca Ritchie – I can admit that the main reason I’m excited for this is because then Jane’s book will be next. And I’ve only been waiting for Jane’s book for 126 years. Release date: Early 2018.
12. The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert – This sounds ahhhhmazing. But I’m really nervous because I’ve heart mixed reactions for it so… hopefully this won’t disappoint. Release date: January 30.

The Hazel Wood made my list too – doesn’t it sound so delicious!?! I really like the sound of Ace of Shades too, but like you I want to read Daughter of the Burning City first. I also really want to read My Plain Jane because I’m a massive fan of Jane Eyre but I need to read My Lady Jane first. Aaargh too many books!!!
