I've put down my last book for the year and that means I've been reflecting on the books I read in 2015 as well as the books that are coming out in 2016 that look amazing. I've been searching YA books of 2016 specifically and I've got a few on my list which I'll have to snatch up if it comes to the library (if it's really amazing I'll buy it). Here are those YA books I'm looking forward to in 2016:

What YA 2016 releases are you looking forward to?
So many wonderful books to look for at the library! I have to go there soon, as I have had Inkspell out and it is overdue (I am listening to it on audio and I am almost done). I still have the Lunar Chronicles to read and I am hoping to get that series underway in 2016. I also have a lot of books I have borrowed from family and friends that I want to read and return. My nephew is giving me Eona (YA) to read this week and I read the first book Eon a couple weeks ago. So- lots of reading to do for sure! :)
ReplyDeleteOh yay! I really need to reread Inkspell and finish that series. The Lunar Chronicles... I am sad to say I haven't started the series yet but if I really love the first book the others are already out so really I made a smart decision.
DeleteI didn't even know about half of these! Thank you for sharing. I can't wait for The Raven King (Gansey :c) and now that you've shown me, Down with the Shine! Amazing post, Adriana!
ReplyDeleteI added Down with the Shine last minute so I'm glad I found it and put it on there for you. Yes, Gansey - the author is so cruel. Have you seen her tweets about him?
DeleteOoh I want to read so many of these and others I hadn't even heard of, so that's fantastic for me. *grabs all the books*
ReplyDelete-Lauren
Haha ~ I wish I could read them all!
DeleteLots of good stuff coming in 2016! After the Woods looks intriguing and like that cover a lot- and Court of Mist and Fury just has a neat title. LOL. Great list!
ReplyDeleteI actually preordered After the Woods since I liked the synopsis so much. A Court of Mist and Fury has me so excited. If you like that tile you'll probably like the first books - A Court of Thorns and Roses.
