14 Books to Look Forward to for 2014

14 Books to Look Forward to for 2014

A huge part of the book community is patience. The problem is that we read faster than authors can write. It takes a couple days to read a book, but it an author takes over ONE YEAR to publish their next book. This is extremely difficult to deal with, so we invented coping methods. The most common one is fangirling. Obsessing over every detail of a book until the next one comes out is an accepted practice. To help with your fangirling experience, I have composed a list of the most anticipated books to be published in 2014.

“City of Heavenly Fire” by Cassandra Clare is the last book in The Mortal Instruments series. The existence of Shadowhunters and mundanes are both on the line. This anticipated finale will be released on May 27.
