Patience My Darling is a new feature I’m starting where I highlight books I’m extremely interested in reading that will be releasing sometime this month. I’ll also be highlighting some books I’ve already read since most people might not have read them yet.
February, February, February, aka the month of Valentine’s Day. There are many books I’m looking forward to seeing on shelves this month.
February 3rd
Shutter by Courtney Alameda
First of all, THAT COVER. I also love any kind of horror stories, so Shutter is right up my ally. Plus, I heard that there would be some romance in the book too, so that’s a plus.
I’ll Meet You There by Heather Demetrios
I’ve only read half of Heather Demetrios’ Something Real and really enjoyed it. (The only reason why I didn’t finish reading it was because school and exams came up and then I started a new book a week later.) However, I’ll Meet You There disappointed me. I wasn’t pulled in at the beginning, but the last third or so of the book was gorgeous.
February 10th
Monstrous by MarcyKate Connolly
Even though I don’t read Middle Grade often, I couldn’t help but be intrigued by Monstrous. I mean, girls disappearing without a trace, a girl with wings and bolts in her neck, and evil magic that haunts the land? Give me this book now.
Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
I was extremely excited for Red Queen – I mean, just look at that cover! I couldn’t wait to read once I got my hands on it, but to my disappointment, Red Queen greatly disappointed me. My full review will be up this month near its release date.
The Glass Arrow by Kristen Simmons
I was very excited for this one; I am obsessed with anything to do with arrows, crossbows, archers, bowmen, etc. However, I am sad to say that I’m really disappointed with this one. My review will go up this month near its release date.
The Last Time We Say Goodbye by Cynthia Hand
I’ve only read Cynthia Hand’s Unearthly and really enjoyed it. Although The Last Time We Say Goodbye is contemporary and nothing contains supernatural in it, I do expect Cynthia Hand to tug on my heartstrings.
My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga
Not only is My Heart and Other Black Holes written by a diverse author, but My Heart and Other Black Holes is also about an important topic in life: Suicide. Which is probably why I teared up while reading the book. Although I lost connection with the main character halfway through the book, I’ll definitely still recommend My Heart and Other Black Holes.
February 24th
The Sin Eater’s Daughter by Melinda Salisbury
Okay, fine, I’ll admit it: I’m excited for The Sin Eater’s Daughter because just look at that cover! I’ve heard mixed things about it though, so I’m a bit worried about that.
Shadow Study by Maria V. Snyder
IT’S THE SEQUEL TO MARIA V. SNYDER’S Study SERIES. Enough said. But honestly, if you haven’t started this series yet, what on Earth are you waiting for?
A Wicked Thing by Rhiannon Thomas
Not only is A Wicked Thing a fairytale retelling, but it’s also unique. I can’t name a Sleeping Beauty retelling that tells you what happened after the fairytale.
A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab
EEEEEEEEEEEEE. There are no words to describe my excitement for this one.
There are so many fabulous books releasing this month! What February 2015 releases are you most excited to read?

I would choose A Wicked Thing! I’ve been so excited about this book since I heard about it when bloggers first started talking about it. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
PS, I was a victim of autocorrect and it screwed up my email address in the rafflecopter form.
I would choose either Shadow Study or The sin eater’s daughter. Thank you so much for the giveaway!
Alexandra recently posted…Soon to be published!
I am so excited for I’ll Meet You There! I can’t wait to read that one.

A Darker Shade of Magic.
At least! An easy question to answer :D

Oh dear, how can it be that such a short month has so many awesome book releasing??
I have a few preordered from before my book buying ban, so I think from the ones that I didn’t preorder before that… either I’ll Meet You There, Red Queen or A Darker Shade of Magic, but I feel that I’d probably go for ADSOM because I read the sampler and I’M DYING TO READ THE FULL BOOK!!
Thank you so much for the giveaway Kelly, and for making it open international!
Pili recently posted…Saturday Pages: The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen!!
I’m SO looking forward to V. Schwab’s new book, and have already pre-ordered it in about three different formats XD I’ve got Red Queen to review and need to leap into that…
I’m really looking forward to Karen Memory by Elizabeth Bear, which is coming out Feb 3rd!
If I were to win, I’d probably ask you to pick something (if you’d be up for that of course!)
Katharine recently posted…2015 – January
Tough decision! Uhm… The sin eater’s daughter!!
Thanks for the giveaway! :D

February is going to leave everyone broke. :P
Kiara recently posted…Happy 1st Birthday, Read it in a Day!
At first I though A Wicked Thing’s synopsis said it was a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Then I realized it was about the Sleeping Beauty and I felt like an idiot. Lately, I’ve been interested in fairy tale retellings, and I already added this book to my Goodreads’ To Read Shelf, so, let’s see how it goes!
I think I’d pick The Last Time We Say Goodbye! Thanks for the giveaway.
OMG! another fab giveaway Kelly…you are too much! and i love it! THANK YOU! well i decided to pick a Darker Shade of Magic by VE Schwab…for i really noticed how much you are excited for this and i usually follow your great instinct.
Oh my god, there are so many great books coming out this month I CAN’T CHOOSE. Um. Maybe The Last Time We Say Goodbye? :D
Cynthia @ Afterwritten recently posted…Monthly Wrap-Up: January 2015
This is such a fun idea i LOVE it! I would choose Monstrous or shutter!! Thank you for this chance and all these additions to my TBR!

Brittany T recently posted…Wrappin’ Up January
What a superb giveaway! There are so many great books to look forward to in Feb. I’ve got my eye on The Sin Eater’s Daughter, A Darker Shade of Magic, The Red Queen, and Shadow Study.
Hannah recently posted…Review: Things We Know By Heart – Jessi Kirby
Yeah I wish Red Queen was more original. I gave it a 3.5 stars. I do not think it’s a bad book, but it could have improved. What bothered me is the lack of character development, basic world building, and unoriginal plot. It’s like a bunch of fantasy/dystopian books mixed into 1 book. I’m also looking forward to Sin Eater’s Daughter! I’ve been avoiding reviews so I’m not sure whether there’s more people who like it vs. people who did not like it. I’m also excited for Shutter since I love horror books! I love to scare myself haha. I have I’ll Meet You There and I’ve been hearing good things about it. That’ll probably one of my next reads this month.
Leigh @ Little Book Star recently posted…January 2015 Wrap Up
I would likely choose Red Queen. It’s too bad that you didn’t love it. :( I’m also dying for Shutter!
I LOVED Monstrous, I’ll Meet You There and Red Queen! :D I liked A Wicked Thing and I still have The Sin Eater’s Daughter here to read. Which I will soon. I’m also expecting A Darker Shade of Magic in my mailbox soon so I’m very excited to read it!
Bieke @ Istyria book blog recently posted…Bee’s Favorite Reads: A World Without Princes by Soman Chainani
I think…A Darker Shade of Magic.
So many new great releases!
Sabrina recently posted…Nye bøger #38
I keep hearing everyone hyping Victoria Schwab, so I would probably choose A Darker Shade of Magic. It looks super great!
Definitely most excited for A Darker Shade of Magic! Sounds amazing and I haven’t read any Victoria Schwab books yet, so I don’t know what to expect!
Although it isn’t your genre, many people will be awaiting Anne Tyler’s 20th novel “A Spool of Blue Thread” due to be published on February 10.
Davida Chazan recently posted…A Great Book for Your House
This is a tough choice! So many great new releases, but I think I would either go with The Red Queen or A Darker Shade of Magic.
Valeria @ A Touch of Book Madness recently posted…Review: The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman
Thanks for thechance to win a book of my choice. I will be backfor your revies
I’ll choose A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab! Thanks for the giveaway :D
Catherine Siborutorop recently posted…Seven Deadly Sins Tag
This is such a hard choice, a lot of my must have’s and TBR’s are releasing this month. If I could choose though, I’d say “The Sin Eater’s Daughter” by Melinda Salisbury :) It sounds super interesting and the promise of fairytale retellings (I heard there were fairytale retellings in this :D), romance, fantasy, and a girl who could kill with a single touch? COUNT ME IN! Thank you for the giveaway! :)
February really has quite a few books coming out that I’m pretty excited for. Love the blog!
Stephanie B recently posted…The Music that Inspired Traitors & Tyrants
Why is the Ruby Circle not here? Hahaha.
I’d love to win The sin’s eater daughter!
P.s. i posted the wrong name on rafflecopter. It was margajdbdidndidnid or something. XD
Marga recently posted…Valentine’s Special: Unsinkable Ships (+ INTL Giveaway!)
I would pick A Darker Shade of Magic, because I really enjoyed Vicious. But then, there’s also Red Queen. I’ve seen so many amazing things about that one, so I really don’t know. :D
Shannelle C. recently posted…No Book Hauls? Me Too.
EXCELLENT giveaway! So many great reads out this month! I’d HAVE to go with either I’ll Meet You There or The Last Time We Say Goodbye because I’ve been lusting after them for a while, and I’ve seen amazing reviews for both!
Rachel (Confessions of a Book Geek) recently posted…Bookish Deals and Discounts #4 Discount Codes and Flash Sales!
I’ll admit I kind of want to win The Red Queen, but I’ll go with My Heart and Other Black Holes. I’ve always had a soft spot for stories that tells us about suicide and people experiencing it, as they often give us deep stuff to ponder on. But then again, maybe I’m just a masochist. ;)
Superb giveaway, so many good titles around this month. You stay awesome! :)
I want to read like half of these! Gone are the days of not knowing about new releases, now that I’ve joined the blogging community. It makes me want all these new shiny books everyone is talking about! Thanks for the giveaway!
Jade @ Bedtime Bookworm recently posted…2nd Annual Love for Books Readathon
I’d like to read Monstrous. I’m a 6th grade teacher and like to find books that are perfect for my students. It will go on my classroom bookshelf after I read it — and won’t last long there!
Dede recently posted…Doctor On Demand FREE first visit – #FeelBetter
I would probably choose A Wicked Thing. I love fairytale retellings! This one is definitely on my TBR.
Melissa L. recently posted…Episode #10 – Harry Potter!
I would choose A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab.
I think I would most be interested in A Darker Shade of Magic. Just loved The Archived by Schwab so excited about this one!
Katie @ Bookish Illuminations recently posted…Falling in Love With….I’ll Meet You There by Heather Demetrios (Sarah from What Sarah Read)
Shadow Study By Maria V.Snyder
The Sin Eater’s Daughter,Glass Arrow,Shadow Study,A Wicked Thing or A Darker Shade of Magic
one of these.
I can’t wait for A Darker Shade of Magic!! …..though quite a few other ones are catching my eye!
I’d love to win A DARKER SHADE OF MAGIC. Also, I accidentally kept my Twitter handle as my old one (@katebucklein). It is now @ktbucklein, and I’m still following you. :) Thanks for the giveaway!
My Heart and Other Black Holes :)
Jen K recently posted…Mini Review: Please Remain Calm
Red Queen, I’m so excited for that and I’ve heard great things! The synopsis feels like a familiar comfort, I can’t pin which book it gives me the vibes of but It only makes me want to read it more.
It’s hard to decide! There are a lot of February releases that sound really good! I might pick Wish You Were Here by Catherine Alliot. Maybe. :)
*Monstrous* & *The Sin Eater’s Daughter* both catch my eye. I would probably choose one of those.
I would pick either The Ruby Circle or Invaded!
I’m dying to get my hands on Shadow Study!
Definitely the Sin Eater’s Daughter!
Zed recently posted…Review of We All Looked Up
Probably the Red Queen, i’ve been dying to read that book since i saw how active it is on social media sites.
Jothee Tan recently posted…Blog Tour: CONSPIRACY GIRL by Sarah Alderson!
I would definitely go for Red Queen! Ever since I heard of that book I knew I want it and devour it! It’s exactly the type of book I would love! <3 :D
I have my eyes on either I’ll Meet You There, My Heart and Other Black Holes, or The Last Time We Say Goodbye :D
I would choose “A Wicked Thing” by Rhiannon Thomas because it is more original. There aren’t a lot of books exploring the “after happily ever after”. If not that, I would choose A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab because it seems interesting, I’d like to check it out.
My choice would be either I’ll Meet You There ,Red Queen or Last Time We Say Goodbye.
April @ Between the Pages recently posted…Book Blogger Love-a-thon: High Five
Ohhhh I love this. <3 I would love to have Monstrous or Shutter. I really want to read both of those. :)
Thanks for this giveaway.

So hard to choose! The last Time We Say Goodbye… Red Queen… Glass Arrow…. I don’t know!! :)
Thank you so much for the international giveaway <3
Sue Holmes recently posted…Book Spine Poetry: Blood sisters
I’m entering this giveaway but I’d be really torn if I won. I really wanted The Red Queen, #teamEpicReads really blew it up & the cover looks amazeballs, but now @whatisakelly said it’s disappointing. And Boom! A Darker Shade of Magic comes along… I hadn’t heard much about it until today. You don’t make things easy!
Shar @ Sharlene Says recently posted…Bookish (and not so bookish) Thoughts – #4
I think I would either choose A Darker Shade of Magic or Red Queen.
Thanks for the giveaway.
I can’t choose!!! But, I loved Red Queen and The Last Time We Say Goodbye. But I’m so curious about The Sin Eater’s Daughter and A Wicked Thing.
I think I’d go with A Darker Shade of Magic or The Glass Arrow! Thanks!
Sarah K (@thebooktraveler) recently posted…Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Favorite Heroines
A Darker Shade of Magic or Monstrous!
I can’t wait to read A Darker Shade of Magic and The Sin Eater’s Daughter and basically all of the rest of them that I haven’t gotten around to yet!
There are a number of books that I’m looking forward reading one of them is Shadow Study.
Shadow Study. I’m curious about that book.
I think I would choose No Parking At The End Times, I’ll Meet You There (which I read and loved) or My Heart and Other Black Holes (which I’m reading as an ARC) because I adore that cover.
Amber recently posted…ARC Review: Every Ugly Word by Aimee L. Salter

Maca recently posted…Charmed Life
SInce I haven’t started the Study series yet, I would choose The Last Time We Say Goodbye
Tough choice, there’re so many amazing books in February. I would most likely pick Invaded by Melissa Landers, loved Alienated.
Thanks for the giveaway! :)
There are so many awesome releases in February and it just hurts so bad that I can’t get any of them lol College wallets are steel-making things!
