Some of these new releases are for series I've yet to start, but hope to marathon with this new release. For example, The Steampunk Chronicles is a series I've wanted to read for a really long time, and I finally have the first book. So, hopefully I'll be able to pick up the other books in the series and start it. 

Also, City of Heavenly Fire. Oh. Wow. I am so excited, and so nervous, and it's a lot of feels! What are some of your can't wait book releases?

Read-A-Thons - Incarnate Series Read-A-Thon

The Incarnate series has been on my TBR Pile for awhile now, and I hadn't really looked into the series too much, so I didn't know that the third and final book was releasing soon. Then, when I was checking out a few Top Ten Tuesday posts, I noticed that there was a sign up for the Official Incarnate Series Read-A-Thon at A Backwards Story.

My Can't Wait Books of 2014

On my Goodreads, I got so excited for so many books that are coming out next year, I ended up creating a specific shelf to highlight the 2014 releases I'm most excited for. I thought it would be fun to share that with you all today. These are just some of the books I'm excited for next year, and a lot of these are sequels, but I thought this would be a chance to talk about our favorite series and upcoming sequels, as well as a few debuts I'm excited for as well. There are 35 books in this list, so description is going to be kept to a minimum, but each will have a Goodreads link so you can view their details there.
So, in no particular order...

Reading Challenges - 2014 Prequel & Sequel Challenge

Welcome back to another episode of joining a ton of reading challenges for 2014! Looking at the books I want to read this year, all of the challenges I've been signing up for have really been fitting my TBR perfectly. This particular challenge is The 2014 Prequel & Sequel Challenge. This is yet another challenge I heard about through Elizziebooks and although I keep linking her Youtube channel when I mention her, I actually heard about these blog. This challenge is going to complement my participation in the TBR Pile Challenge and some prequel novellas for the 2014 debuts I'm reading for the Debut Author Challenge. (If you're curious about any of those, the buttons are in the sidebar, and clicking on those takes you directly to the sign ups) I'm still a little uncertain about the scoring details, but I've linked the sign ups so you can read them as well. Regardless, this will definitely be the cause of quite a few Series in Summations that will be coming to you guys this year. I'm really excited about that because I like writing those features, but didn't think I'd be able to in light of my other challenges. 

January 2014 TBR

Happy New Year! I hope that this new year is wonderful for you all, and I know that reading wise there are already so many awesome books coming out that I can't wait to read. However, January is going to be a little bit crazy for a reading month. Firstly, I'm going to be participating in a Read-A-Thon that I'll be telling you about later on this month, and I've also got a mini themed TBR as well as some books coming out this month that I just have to read. So, let's talk about a stack of books I'll hopefully be getting to in this first month of 2014.

Top Ten Tuesday - Top Ten 2014 Releases I'm Dying to Read

Welcome back! We've got another Top Ten Tuesday here today, which is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. This week's topic is the Top Ten 2014 Releases I can't wait for. I have a can't wait books of 2014 Goodreads shelf that has over 20 books and so narrowing it down to 10 books is certainly a challenge, but here are the 10 picks.
I was actually able to put these in order, so these are my top 10 picks in order, although having to narrow it down to these was already a task!
