I am excited for The Outliers I love Kimberly's writing style and her books keep me on my toes. I am thinking about preordering it. Also looking forward to Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Since I'm going completely out of order at this point, I'm hoping to squeeze a few more in, as my list is always sooooooo long. I just wanted to read this book so badly, and it didn't really fit anywhere else. :)

- Are there any books published in 2017 that you're looking forward to reading?
It's a bit early yet to know exactly what will be out in 2017, but I am sure that there will be something incredibly tempting.

[Pam]

I am currently reading an ARC of Glory over Everything: Beyond The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom.

I will be hopeful like some others for Winds of Winter!

[Tawallah]

I read The Princess Companion: A Retelling of The Princess and the Pea

I still have time to read some other books published in 2016 since it is June. The one I want to get to soon is for another part of this challenge- Risuko: A Kunoichi Tale.

Progress Post:
- What are you reading this week?
Ghost Market

- Are there any other books published in 2016 that you wish you would have read? Are you planning to read them in 2017?
There are several and being that it is only May, I have lots of time to get to the ones that I haven't read yet, or that haven't been published yet. :-)

- Are there any books published in 2017 that you're looking forward to reading? I just heard that Veronica Roth is publishing a new book in 2017 so I will probably look into that when the time comes. I have several series that are overdue for new releases too so I will be waiting to see if any of those will be done in 2017 as well.

[Pamela, Arciform Mod]

- What are you reading this week? The Summer Before the War

- Are there any other books published in 2016 that you wish you would have read? Are you planning to read them in 2017? Definitely, but this is the first one to come off my library hold I could not find room for in another week.

- Are there any books published in 2017 that you're looking forward to reading? Too early so far...

[Therese]

I am reading This Census-Taker by China Miéville.

I am not planning ton read any books published in 2016.

I have no idea what books are going to be published in 2017, so I do not know what books I will be reading in 2017 that are published in 2017.

[Lieke]

- What are you reading this week?
I read De Klauw by Adrian Stone, a new series by a dutch fantasy author.

- Are there any other books published in 2016 that you wish you would have read? Are you planning to read them in 2017?
That is hard to answer now since I'm reading out of order. There are still some 2016 releases on my challenge list and on my wish list.

- Are there any books published in 2017 that you're looking forward to reading?
King of Ashes by Raymond E. Feist and since I think it won't be out this year but hopefully next year The Winds of Winter by George R.R. Martin

What are you reading this week?

I finished Christ Beside Me, Christ Within Me: Celtic Blessings this morning.

- Are there any other books published in 2016 that you wish you would have read? Are you planning to read them in 2017?

- Are there any books published in 2017 that you're looking forward to reading?

I have NO idea what's coming out in 2017 this far in advance.

- Are there any other books published in 2016 that you wish you would have read? Are you planning to read them in 2017?
I'm definitely going to read A Torch Against the Night and Empire of Storms.
There're so many great releases this year! I know I can't read them all in 2016, but I still have time to read some ;)

[Zaz]

- What are you reading this week? I chose 2 books: Every Heart a Doorway and Pax


- Are there any other books published in 2016 that you wish you would have read? Are you planning to read them in 2017?
Yes, I've a full shelf of 2016 books that interest me. I'll try to read some of them during the year but some are very expensive for the moment, so they'll probably end in the 2017 TBR (already filled with books published in 2017...).

- Are there any books published in 2017 that you're looking forward to reading?
For the moment: The Burning World (Warm Bodies #2), Head On (Lock In, #2), The Gatlon School for Vigilantes (new series by Divergent's author... maybe it's crap but I read Divergent series like I eat chocolate...). I hope there will be a Patrick Ness new book *_*

What are you reading this week?
I am reading

Are there any other books published in 2016 that you wish you would have read? Are you planning to read them in 2017?
Oh definitely. There are tons of books coming out this year, and while I'm only halfway through the year, so chances are I'll be able to read them this year, I know there's a bunch that I won't be able to get to til 2017. The Fate of the Tearling and Heartless for sure, since they come out near the end of the year.

Are there any books published in 2017 that you're looking forward to reading?
Absolutely! Shade Darby and Lord of Shadows for sure

I read Seven Brief Lessons on Physics. Someone suggested it on Litsy and I needed a short, easy nonfiction to break up my fiction reads.

I do not usually read new fiction books, I prefer to wait until there are enough reviews, plus, there are too many older books that I have not read. In nonfiction, however, I like the latest research/topics.

Litsy is influencing me, however, so a few I am interested in reading are The Girls (the book club selection), Lab Girl, Homegoing, Binti.

And yes, I want to desperately read The Winds of Winter as well, although not holding out much hope.

[Kirsten]

What did you read?
The Beast by J.R. Ward

Yes, but then I have to worry about 2017 books.

Are there any books published in 2017 that you're looking forward to reading?
I'm hoping the new Julie Garwood will be released then.

The Dead Boyfriend by R.L. Stine
(I got this as an ARC on GR giveaways!!)

Yes; there are puh-lenty! For one, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by J.K. Rowling, which comes out in just a couple more weeks!

- Are there any books published in 2017 that you're looking forward to reading?
A couple. I'm guessing there will be another Brandon Sanderson book in the The Way of Kings series?? Also, Always and Forever, Lara Jean by Jenny Han.

[Angela]

I'm reading Credlin and Co.: How the Abbott Government destroyed itself, by Aaron Patrick. It was quite topical in Australia at the time of publication.
I'm not sure whether there were any books published this year that I really wanted to read.
I'm looking forward to the new Robert Goddard novel, which is due to be released in 2017.

[Adam]

Reading The Long Cosmos.

I was going to read The Burning World, but it got pushed back to 2017. At least I know what I'll be reading next year.

[Pauline]

I have already posted a book for this category .. Conspiracy .. But I have now shuffled that one to week ? - crime novel, as I found a book published 2 days ago that I just have to read next . I am just starting I Found You by Lisa Jewell, as I have just finished The Girls by the same author who I had not read before, and really enjoyed it.

On the Other Side

Are there any other books published in 2016 that you wish you would have read? Are you planning to read them in 2017?
I have Fellside and The Butterfly Garden on my list to read this year and I'm hoping to also read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child this year even though it's not on my list. There are a lot of books being published this year that I would like to read but won't have time to so hopefully I'll fit some of them into next year's challenge.

Are there any books published in 2017 that you're looking forward to reading?
I'm not aware of any yet but I'm sure there will be some that I'll want to read.

The Orion Plan

- Are there any other books published in 2016 that you wish you would have read? Are you planning to read them in 2017?
There are a bunch of books that are supposed to be published this year, or have pending publication dates. I will definitely be reading The Thorn of Emberlain as part of my list next year, and hopefully a few others. I feel like I am always behind schedule on reading books, but I enjoy reading books from the Goodreads Choice awards so I'll probably add some of the nominations and winners from this year too.

If Rothfuss and Martin ever publish their next book....
