Oh my gosh I’m scared to admit that I’ve only read 2 of the books out of your Top 10 list. *hides* (This Raging Light and ACOTAR). I totally agree with your highly anticipated books of 2016 list! I’ve read Truthwitch and ADORED IT. Passenger was ehh, but I might be a black sheep for that one. 😛 Happy New Year!
Only two?! Well I hope that some of them can serve as recommendations then! If nothing else, I recommend I’ll Give You the Sun!! And omg I’ve preordered Truthwitch and basically am dying to get my hands on it! I’m happy you have good things to say about it! I hope I enjoy Passenger but I’ll check in again after I read it haha. Happy new year to you too!!
Wow your list is filled with great booooks. Sweet :D. All of those look and sound so wonderful. Also into the dim is great!!!! But I can’t wait to see how The Selection will really end :). Who will she end up with?!?!?! Happy 2016!
Oh man, I wish I didn’t have to wait for Into the Dim, it looks so good!! Seriously though, I always get so wrapped up in the romance of the Selection series! Happy 2016 to you too 🙂
I like this list! So many of the ones you’re anticipating, I am too 😀 Specially those Sarah J. Maas books: I NEED. I hope you have a great reading year on 2016!
No kidding! I am probably literally going to throw a party when I finally get to read the next Sarah J. Maas books!! I wish the same for you!! 🙂
Oh lord, same! My heart needs those books
I also loved Illuminae and Everything, Everything!!! The Love That Split The World is also one of my most anticipated reads! I’m so glad it comes out this month! Hahaha!
Happy 2016!!
They were both so good!! Same here, less waiting for us! Yay!! Happy 2016 🙂
We have such similar taste in books! I read and loved Queen of Shadows, A Court of Thorns and Roses and Illuminae too 🙂 I had a chance to read The Love That Split the World early and it is SO AMAZING, I really hope you love it! The romance is to die for 🙂 Here’s to an amazing bookish 2016! 🙂
I agree, we do! Especially if you loved those three, they were SO GOOD. Haha. I’ll let you know how I like The Love that Split the World!! I hope your 2016 is equally amazing! ❤️
You’ll surely love Passenger and Truthwitch! You have such great list of your anticipated reads
I definitely hope I love them! We’ll see! ☺️ haha
SO MANY BOOKS!
I loved The Boy Most Likely To. That was definitely one of my favorites of 2015. I wasn’t a huge fan of This Raging Light, but I saw its potential. :/
Like you, I’m also looking forward to The Crown, but I’m also looking forward to Kass’ revamped version of The Siren. I can’t wait to get my hands on them!
yessss TBMLT was so lovely. I actually haven’t very many people talk about it, but I absolutely adore Huntley Fitzpatrick’s books.
