Ashley Marie I think we can separate this into a few piles if need be -- whether you want to do a Top 5 of new releases in 2016 that you're excited about or just a Top 5 books you're looking forward to reading in general in 2016. Have at it!




*Also, apologies if I'm stepping on anyone's toes, but this sounded like a good idea being the end of the year and all.

Malori Well I have 3 so far that I'm looking forward to coming out in 2016

Stars Above (The Lunar Chronicles)
The Crown (The Selection)
Yellow Brick War (Dorothy must die)

I have an extensive list of tbr so I'm not so sure I'll even get to those but I'll definately buy them lol.

All of my picks will likely already have been released Oda. I am bad about shelving unreleased books unless they are on a series I am reading.

message 15: by Jenny (new)

Yay! Glad to hear they were on your top 10 :)


message 17: by Ashley Marie (new)

Ashley Marie I may have to move The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer, #1) by Michelle Hodkin up on my list -- we were at the bookstore yesterday and Doc saw it -- Dyer is his last name so he was very intrigued LOL


message 18: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 1572 comments I'm reading it right now Ashley, and its pretty good! I'm not raving about it like a lot of others, but its still an absorbing, creepy read!

For some reason I skipped Mara Dyer. One of my GR friends must have warned me away from it??

I thought mara dyer was overrated, it might have been me?

Could have been Oda.


message 22: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 1572 comments I didn't think it was worth raving about until the last half of the last book... When stuff started to finally make sense and the mystery just got really good. I was so glad I'd hung in there for it, because that last book was an awesome read! I enjoyed the first 2, although I was super confused, but you're supposed to be. The MC is super confused!
