Welcome to Future Fiction, my reimagining of the Waiting on Wednesday meme! There are so many amazing new books coming out, that I can no longer pick just one. My goal with Future Fiction is to share at least three new books each week, a combination of recent cover reveals and books that I’ve recently added to my TBR pile. I’m still going to be linking up with Wishful Endings/Can’t Wait Wednesday, and I also want to give a shout out to Jill at Breaking the Spine for starting the original Waiting on Wednesday meme. I hope you’ll find some new books to add to your TBR piles, and as always, I look forward to hearing what YOU’RE looking forward to:-D
Hey guys, how about three amazing sounding YA speculative fiction books, all by women authors?? Take a look:
Westworld meets The Handmaid’s Tale in this stunning fantasy adventure from debut author Charlotte Nicole Davis.
Aster, the protector
Violet, the favorite
Tansy, the medic
Mallow, the fighter
Clementine, the catalystTHE GOOD LUCK GIRLS
The country of Arketta calls them Good Luck Girls–they know their luck is anything but. Sold to a “welcome house” as children and branded with cursed markings. Trapped in a life they would never have chosen.
When Clementine accidentally murders a man, the girls risk a dangerous escape and harrowing journey to find freedom, justice, and revenge in a country that wants them to have none of those things. Pursued by Arketta’s most vicious and powerful forces, both human and inhuman, their only hope lies in a bedtime story passed from one Good Luck Girl to another, a story that only the youngest or most desperate would ever believe.
It’s going to take more than luck for them all to survive.
The Good Luck Girls by Charlotte Nicole Davis. Releases in October 2019 from Tor Teen. Wow, this sounds amazing! And that cover is giving me a western vibe, so I hope it’s correct. Plus, THAT COVER.
In this eerie and suspenseful YA, a teen girl discovers what connects her to the hotel she calls home as horrifying visions lead her to the truth.
Nell Martin is moving again, this time to the Winslow Grand Hotel, built in 1878. As Nell is settling in, strange things begin to happen. Doors lock of their own accord, writing appears on bathroom walls–and most horrifying of all–visions of a dead boy permeate her waking life. Thinking it was her mind playing tricks on her, she soon finds the past and the present colliding as she learns horrific details of a murder that happened at the hotel in 1905 involving a girl named Lea.
Nell and a mysterious bellboy must relive that day in hopes of finally breaking a curse that imprisons them both. And Nell discovers what truly links her to the history of the Winslow Grand Hotel.
Remember Me by Chelsea Bobulski. Releases in August 2019 from Feiwel & Friends. I can’t remember how I came across this book, but I’m so glad I did! It sounds really good, and I’m getting The Shining vibes from the description.
“Mixing everything that’s best about dragons, dystopia, and generational conflict, Tang delivers a high flying debut that pulls no punches.” –E.K. Johnston, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author
Business is booming for Prudence Wu.
A black-market-media smuggler and scholarship student at the prestigious New Columbia Preparatory Academy, Pru is lucky to live in the Barricade Coalition where she is free to study, read, watch, and listen to whatever she wants. But between essays and exams, she chooses to spend her breaks sweet-talking border patrol with her best friend, Anabel, in order to sell banned media to the less fortunate citizens of the United Continental Confederacy, Inc.
When a drop-off goes awry, Pru narrowly escapes UCC enforcers to find that her rescuer is, of all things, a sentient cybernetic dragon. On the one hand, Pru is lucky not to be in prison, or worse. On the other, the dragon seems to have imprinted on her permanently, which means she has no choice but to be its pilot.
Drawn into a revolution she has no real interest in leading, Pru, Anabel, and friends Alex and Cat become key players in a brewing conflict with the UCC as the corporate government develops advanced weaponry more terrifying and grotesque than Pru could have ever imagined.
Rebelwing by Andrea Tang. Releases in February 2020 from Razorbill. I don’t even know where to start with this book. The cover? Check. A sentient cybernetic dragon??? Double check. I think this is a debut, and I’m definitely excited!
The first one is defo for me! Love the cover as well – kinda makes me think this would be a good netflix series 😀
Ooh, I can see what you mean. It does sort of look like a Netflix movie poster!!
These all sounds super fun. I’ll be on the lookout for reviews closer to release date!
Hopefully I’ll get a chance to read them:-)
These all sound awesome.. but I’m especially excited by The Good Luck Girls. I love a western setting.
Me too, I need another western soon, it seems like it’s been a while.
These all sound great but that last one is definitely my taste. Can’t wait for them to come out!
Thanks for stopping by, Laurie! I agree, Rebelwing sounds like all kinds of amazing.
Man, you have been killing it with your choices lately! The good thing is The Good Luck Club was ALREADY on my wishlist so I only had to add two. That last one sounds so awesome and I adore the cover as well. I do believe books are just getting better and better!
I know what you mean, every week there are more and more new books and they ALL sound so good. How is this fair to us readers???!!
Good luck for me certainly. It sounds so good. Not that I need more series but . . .
And damn is that a good cover. Arrr!

I just love the cover too. But I do know what you mean about series. It’s easy to get lost when you’re reading too many:-/
These books all look and sound really good but the one speaking to me the most is The Good Luck Girls. It sounds amazing!
Doesn’t it?? I can’t wait to read it:-)
All sounds great! I think Good Luck Girls would be my top pick of the three — sounds amazing!
I agree, Good Luck Girls is going on my “must read” list for sure:-)
The first two are already on my TBR, will have to add the 3rd one, it sounds really unique! Great picks! You can check out my Wednesday post in the link below.

Thanks for visiting, Lisa:-)
Ooh, I love all of these! Remember Me really makes me excited, I’m all for a good spooky hotel.
I love the cover for Remember Me, it’s got a ghostly, spooky vibe:-)
I love how different these all are- and that last one kinda caught my eye. then again the first one has a Westworld reference so I may have to give that a closer look haha!

They are very different, YA seems to have so much to offer these days:-)
I spotted the Rebel Wing cover reveal yesterday and my heart went all flitter-flutter. Not 100% sold on the concept but it’s definitely jumped up several rungs on the interest scale!

I think it has promise, I’m definitely keeping an eye on it:-)
I particularly like the look of the last one, Tammy – that cover is awesome:)). You do ferret out the most awesome books! I hope you enjoy them all
The dragon on Rebelwing is so different, I think that’s why I’m excited about that book:-)
These all sound great, especially Rebelwing!

I was so happy to run across Rebelwing, it’s such a cool concept:-)
I think I like the second one best, but they are all intriguing and eye-catching choices, Tammy! They are all so different too!
Yes, they are very different, I think that’s why I like this grouping so much:-)
Wow, I am so out of the loop when it comes to new YA! Going to put these on my watch list to remind myself to look into them further 😀
For some reason it’s easier to find YA cover reveals and new releases. The YA publishers are marketing geniuses!
Westworld meets The Handmaid’s Tale is an automatic win in my book.
Bonnie @ For the Love of Words recently posted…Waiting on Wednesday – The Unkindest Tide (October Daye #13) by Seanan McGuire
That’s such a great tagline, right?
All three of the covers are bold and the stories sound interesting too.

These covers are pretty cool, I think that’s part of the reason I picked these books.
I don’t read a ton of YA, but the hotel one does sound like it could be kinda eerie and cool!
Yep, that one really sounds different from your normal YA. Can’t wait!
I seriously don’t know how you find all these great looking books! Remember Me is right up my alley I think so will note that one down.
Lynn 😀
I spend a LOT of time on Goodreads and Edelweiss searching for new books. It’s a problem, I know;-)
Well. All of these are going on my tbr! 🙂
Ha ha, sorry not sorry??;-)
All of these look good. I love that cover for Rebelwing
