Most Anticipated - March Edition
How is it March already?! I swear February just started this last week. My reading plans for the month were shattered by life. I have zero idea where my month went so quickly. Still, a new month means new releases are either already here since the month started on Monday, or are almost here! That means there are a few I'm a little more excited to get my hands on. This will be my March Most Anticipated!!

Criss-cross America — on dogsleds and ships, stagecoaches and trains — from pirate ships off the coast of the Carolinas to the peace, love, and protests of 1960s Chicago. Join fifteen of today’s most talented writers of young adult literature on a thrill ride through history with American girls charting their own course. They are monsters and mediums, bodyguards and barkeeps, screenwriters and schoolteachers, heiresses and hobos. They're making their own way in often-hostile lands, using every weapon in their arsenals, facing down murderers and marriage proposals. And they all have a story to tell.

Genre: Fantasy
Series: Rebel of the Sands #1
Shelf: Library
Mortals rule the desert nation of Miraji, but mystical beasts still roam the wild and barren wastes, and rumor has it that somewhere, djinni still practice their magic. But there's nothing mystical or magical about Dustwalk, the dead-end town that Amani can't wait to escape from.
Release Date: March 8th
Author: Tony Cliff
Genre: Graphic Novel
Series: Delilah Dirk #2
Shelf: Own
When Delilah is framed as a spy by an English army officer, her passion for revenge threatens to sever her friendship with Selim. Is she willing to lose the companionship of her only good friend in order to reclaim her reputation?
Okay, so I'm probably the most excited for Delilah Dirk and the King's Shilling. I was super honored to have won Tony Cliff's first Delilah Dirk graphic novel not long after it was released through Goodreads. I fell in love with his characters and the story, and I've been so excited for their return to print. It will be one I stay up late to read, that's why they have coffee. Right?!
Still, Delilah Dirk isn't the only thing I'm a little impatient to get my hands on. Everything on this list has been added to my Hold list at the library since they went on order. I'm on the top of the list to receive copies and I really, really hope they don't all come in while I'm on vacation. I will not be amused.
