Books I Want to Read For the Remaining of 2017

2017 has been my most active year in page-turning. The last time I ate words this swift was when I was in high school. Now that I'm pregnant and basically trying to catch my breath at every word I speak, I naturally resorted to hiding behind paperbacks to make myself and the growing baby comfortable.

These are the remaining books I'm looking forward to read before 2017 ends:

Warcross by Marie Lu

Player. Hunter. Hacker. Pawn. Those four words sold me right away. Ever since getting into "Ready Player One", I've been actively looking for Second Life-esque virtual reality books. "Warcross" looks to be a promising one, and it'll be the first book of its own series to come. (Publication date: September 12, 2017)

Turtles All the Way Down by John Green

Nobody actually knows what this new John Green book will be about exactly, but it'll portray the tragedy of the witty and socially-awkward young adult he's best known for. I'm just excited that this time, he'll be exploring a female protagonist, and Aza Holmes will navigate "lifelong friendship, the intimacy of an unexpected reunion, Star Wars fan fiction, and tuatara." Sounds ambiguous enough to pique my interest. (Publication date: October 10, 2017)

Origin by Dan Brown

The book I'm most excited about out of the bunch. Robert Langdon returns to navigate sacred history in this one. Set in Spain, "Origins" promises to reveal the scientific discovery of a lifetime, one that a certain people of power won't stop at keeping it a secret. (Publication date: October 3, 2017)

Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie

I gotta admit, it's the all-star cast in the upcoming movie adaption that got me hooked. I haven't read a single Agatha Christie up to this day, despite the hype, and I want to make her breakout paperback as my first. (First published in 1934)


P.S. I will be making the NEW and *sealed* books of these four titles available once they're published on the bookstore. So stay tuned.
