Top Ten Books: Ten 2016 Releases I Want To Read
Top Ten Tuesday is
a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and The Bookish.
We all know how it goes; so many books are released every
year, and we just want to read them all. But there are only so many hours in
the day, and therefore, we can’t get to all the books we’d like in a timely
fashion. So some new releases sometimes go unread by us for a time. Today’s Top
Ten Tuesday topic deals exactly with this conundrum. We’ve been asked to list
ten books released in 2016 that we wanted to read, yet were unable to, but
totally plan to in the near future. Here are ten books that came out last year
that I wanted to read, but simply couldn’t get to.
Jenny was one of my favorite authors when I was a
teenager. This book got a lot of great reviews last year, and I don’t doubt
that it lives up to the hype. Hopefully I can read it sometime soon.
I read a sample of this book on my Kindle and I really
liked it. I love the Prince Edward Island setting! I’d liked to read the rest
of it sometime.
If you’ve visited A Real Writer’s Life much in the last
couple of months, then you know that I’ve mentioned this book a lot. I haven’t
been able to get a copy yet, but I’m hoping to sometime.
I haven’t actually finished the original four books of The Lunar Chronicles; I still need to read
to Winter. But once I do, I
definitely want to read this bonus book that came out last year.
I read one story in this collection for review before it
was released, but I’ve yet to read the other four. I’d really like to read them
this year.
This collection of fairytale retellings released toward
the end of 2016. I haven’t read it yet, but when it was recently on sale I
downloaded it and am looking forward to reading these stories.
I started reading the Dear
Daphne series toward the end of last year. So far I’ve read the first
three. This last book in the series was released in 2016 and I’m looking
forward to seeing how everything comes together.
Some of Katherine’s books might not have been absolute
favorites of mine, but I’ve generally liked them and I’m quite curious about
this novel revolving around a painter who marries an Italian and travels to his
family’s country.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about this book since it
released at the end of last summer. It sounds like a good book, and I read a
sample of it and liked it, so I’d like to read the rest of it this year.
I’m actually surprised by how much I enjoyed Kara’s debut
since I don’t read much contemporary romance at all. But I did, and I really want to read her latest, which
released toward the end of 2016.
Were there any books you wanted to read last year, but
simply couldn’t get to? Tell me about them in the comments.
