Friday Feature: EGMONT USA Closing Shop; Top Egmont Titles to Read #BuyAnEgmontBook

 
"Egmont Publishing, which put its U.S. division up for sale in October, has announced plans to close the unit. The move, the Danish publisher said in a release, comes after the division failed to establish a "market leading position" in the States, and attempts to sell the unit failed."

Egmont USA is throwing in the towel. For real. They are fleeing the states because it seems they aren't doing good enough to justify staying. They aren't a big enough name in the states so they say fuck it. If they are not making enough money to justify staying I understand but... This sucks, majorly, for all the employees currently working for Egmont but specially for the authors who had titles being released under Egmont. Now everybody is going to be hunting for a new job... and a new publisher.

So I've compiled below a list of Egmont's top hits, misses, and the titles I really want to get before they close up shop. Every title is linked to either a review or its Goodreads page. I seriously encourage every reader out there to go on an Egmont shopping spree because they had some really good titles that shouldn't be missed.

TOP Hits:

Hourglass (Hourglass, #1) The Dark Divine (The Dark Divine, #1) Siren (Siren, #1)

The Shadow Prince (Into the Dark, #1) White Space (Dark Passages, #1)
 
HOURGLASS! It is one of my favorite Egmont reads, as well as Shadow Prince (the SEQUEL!! Can't wait) and White Space (I am still thinking about how weird this title was months after reading it --in a good way-- horror-licious). The Dark Divine has lots of supporters (werewolves, religion!) and Siren is a really good mermaid read (better than many many others I have read).
The so so's:

Nobody

Pretty good read, if not a bit forgettable.
The Flops:

Of All the Stupid Things  Tris & Izzie

The Titles I Will Buy Soon before they go out of print (maybe? Better not take chances...):

Burn Out (Burn Out, #1) Every Other Day Raised by Wolves (Raised by Wolves, #1) 

Kill Me Softly (Beau Rivage, #1) Shadows (Ashes Trilogy, #2) The Mephisto Covenant: The Redemption of Ajax (The Mephisto Covenant, #1)

Spring 2015 Releases:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18135513-the-dickens-mirror?ac=1 https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21520203-tear-you-apart?ac=1 https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18053984-the-eternity-key?ac=1 https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22608499-strange-skies?ac=1

**These are the titles I will be purchasing and it doesn't reflect their entire catalog.

Every other title that had a release date for after spring has been (reportedly) scratched. I really hope that every author under Egmont USA finds a new home in a different publishing company. I wish them the best of luck (seriously, I need to read their sequels).

Q: What is the one ARC you would love to get your hands on right now? A: That's so hard! I have to say that probably Silence (Hush, Hush #3) by Becca Fitzpatrick is the one I want the most. I haven't even gotten the chance to read Crescendo yet, but I loved Hush, Hush and am hooked into this series. The covers, the writing, the characters, the plot...everything! I would love to have this ARC! Q: Talk about the book that most changed or influenced your life (was it a book that turned you from an average to avid reader, did it help you deal with a particularly difficult situation, does it bring you comfort every time you read it?).   A: I would have to say that the Twilight Saga is what influenced my life. I read the series around three years ago before the movies came out. During that time, my family was going through so much and it was hard to handle it. I didn't have that much support to go to and I was confused as to my position and my health. I got hooked to Twilight bec...

Q: Let’s talk crazy book titles! Highlight one or two (or as many as you like!) titles in your personal collection that have the most interesting titles! If you can’t find any, feel free to find one on the internet! A: I'll stay true and look at my bookshelf. I don't have any crazy titles, but one that I got for my birthday is The Element Encyclopedia of Vampires: An A-Z of the Undead by Theresa Cheung . My sister bought it for me since she said this is "exactly" what I needed. Q: How has your reading habits changed since you were a teen? or If you are still a teen what new genres are you in love with currently? A: I love romance! I think that I'm a hopeless romantic, so I NEED romance. I can't get into a book if it has absolutely no romance. I've always been into urban fantasy, romance, and Young Adult, but I think I'm getting into more historical fiction. Q: Author Block Party: If you could gather a handful of authors to hang out with, who would you ...
