There are some great books I am eager to get my hands on this year. I thought I would mention a few of the most I am most excited about.

I also know that there are a number of sequels to books I plan on starting this year as well. I am someone who when I start a series has to read the whole thing if I can. I am not good at reading one then reading something else in between. I love to be able to stay enthralled in world and series.

This is his memoir about his time struggling with who he was and and how he got to the point where he is today. I love his books and am very interested to take a deeper look at him as a person and an author!
Release Date – May 21st

The Past and Other Things That Should Stay Buried –
Someones ex-bestfriend dies then comes back to life but not fully? I mean it sounds like an awesome and deep zombie story and I am all for it.

Sequels to books I really want to read:
