There are so many great looking books came out this year! I have divided this list into two categories: sequels and stand-alones. The links will take you to that book's Goodreads page.
Sequels
2. The Midnight Star (The Young Elites #3) by Marie Lu
3. A Torch against the Night (An Ember In The Ashes #2) by Sabaa Tahir
4. Gemina (The Illuminae Files #2) by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
5. Blood for Blood (Wolf by Wold #2) by Ryan Graudin
6. Tales of the Peculiar by Random Riggs
Stand-alones
2. Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake - A new fantasy series where three sisters (triplets!) must battle to the death for the crown.
3. The Forgetting by Sharon Cameron - I loved Rook, so I am super excited for her new release.
4. One Half From The East by Nadia Hashimi - This book is set in Afghanistan and it's about a preteen girl who starts dressing like a boy to bring the family luck. This one sounds so interesting!
5. Look Both Ways by Alison Cherry - The story of a girl who goes to a summer theatre camp, only to fall for her roommate.
6. Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body by Roxane Gay - I absolutely love Roxane Gay's writing and I am so excited for her memoir.
What books are you most excited about for the rest of 2016?
The Midnight Star- love that cover. I haven't read the series but I'm thinking about it and I've been told to read Marie Lu. :) And Gemina of course- because Illuminae and space station. :)
ReplyDeleteMe too Greg! You really should read the series. It is amazing. I love all of Marie Lu's books. :)
DeleteSO EXCITED FOR SHINY BROKEN PIECES EEEEEE. And also just....so many others. But it's my birthday soon, surely I can treat myself to a few pre-orders...
ReplyDeleteLoony Literate, I KNOW!! I think I have you to thank for reading the first one in the series. I saw your rave review and just knew I had to have it. It was so good and I am so excited for the sequel!! And if a birthday isn't a good enough reason to treat yourself to some preorders, then what is? :)
DeleteOh how did I miss Look Both Ways??? Just added to my wishlist. I love Roxane Gay too and am excited for her new one. Great list!!
ReplyDeleteGrace, so glad to hear that. Look Both Ways looks so good. Roxane Gay is an amazing author! Of course, I just heard there has been a delay with the publication of Hunger. Sad. But I am sure it will be amazing when it is finally published.
DeleteWhat is The Forgetting? And how gorgeous is that cover?! I need to check this out...
ReplyDeleteTTT @ Krista's Dust Jacket
Krista, Isn't it amazing!!! The Forgetting is about a town where every twelve years there is a day of the forgetting where people lose their memories and they can basically do anything they want for a day or something. Sounds really interesting!
DeleteGreat books coming up! I have the Peculiar book on my list too, and dropped Heartless at the last minute only because I didn't have room -- I definitely want to read it! I suppose I really should read Illiminae finally now that the sequel is coming out. :)
ReplyDeleteLisa @ Bookshelf Fantasies
Lisa, I do think Heartless is one of the ones I am most looking forward to. And you really need to read Illuminae. I read it this year and it is still the most action packed book I have read this year. So good!
DeleteI picked up The Forgetting at BEA. I didn't realize that it was the same author as Rook. I haven't read that one, but I've seen it mentioned. Hmm. I may have to check out that book now too.
ReplyDeleteKate, oh you are so lucky that you got The Forgetting! Rook was really good. I hope you love The Forgetting. I can't wait to read it. :)
DeleteSo excited for A Torch Against The Night! And Heartless and Three Dark Crowns too :)
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I still have to read Illuminae, so maybe I need to do that before Gemina is released!
Lindsey, oh yes you must read Illuminae!! It is so incredibly good. I am so excited for the sequel!
DeleteThanks for the list, I hadn't heard of some of these. I don't know why, but the cover for The Forgetting really caught my eye.
ReplyDeleteGot My Book, it really is a beautiful cover! :)
DeleteYES TO ALL OF THESE. Heartless, Three Dark Crowns, Gemina, Midnight Star and Blood for Blood are some of my most anticipated books too. Hopefully they end up being as amazing as they sound! :) Thanks for sharing and, as always, fabulous choices! <3
ReplyDeleteZoe, I hope so too!! I have high hopes for every single book on this list! SO MANY NEW BOOKS!!
DeleteTHE FORGETTING is on my list today as well. I'm also excited about HEARTLESS and BLOOD FOR BLOOD. Happy TTT!
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan! So many great books coming out!!
DeleteIs it odd that I'm looking forward to reading Blood for Blood even though I haven't read Wolf by Wolf? How's that for marketing? Lol.
ReplyDeleteHahahah Joy, that's good marketing! You should read Wolf by Wolf. I read it a month or so ago and I loved it so much.
DeleteShiny Broken Pieces caught my eye but at this stage I can't remember any of book 1, except that those girls were ruthless! Love the cover for The Forgetting. At the moment I'm reading more older books than new books so haven't really paid much attention to what's coming out. There are some beauties though!
ReplyDeleteTrish, don't you hate when that happens with a sequel?? I remember some things from the first one, but I am sure it will come back to me when I am reading the sequel. That's usually how these things work. :)
DeleteI haven't read ANY of these series; I'm so out of the loop haha
ReplyDeleteHahahaha Vlora. That's okay. You can just wait until the entire series has been released for all of them and then read them all at once!
DeleteHadn't heard of Look Both Ways or One Half from the East - those both sound so good!!
ReplyDeleteNicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Nicole, don't they?? One Half from the East looks so interesting. I can't wait!
DeleteI need to check out Look Both Ways, because I've been seeing it around, but never fully looking into it! Oh I had no idea Sharon Cameron wrote Rook! I DNFed that one (but only because the library wanted it back) so I hope I like the Forgetting more!
ReplyDeleteValerie, oh that is so sad that you couldn't finish Rook! I am really looking forward to The Forgetting. I hope it lives up to the hype!
DeleteI am so excited for another book by Marissa Meyer!!
ReplyDeleteThree Dark Crowns is so AMAZING! I loved it! Just awesome! It is going to be a series. Blake just hasn't named the series yet. And the ending is open for another book.
ReplyDeleteLyn, oh I am SO GLAD to hear that!! I was so disappointed that I didn't get approved for the ARC. Oh well. Now that I know you loved it, I will be buying it for sure. :)
