HAPPY NEW YEAR, FRIENDS!! I hope you all have a happy and healthy new year. To celebrate, I decided to come up with a list of books that I am most looking forward to in 2016. Enjoy!
12. The Vanishing Throne by Elizabeth May
12. The Vanishing Throne by Elizabeth May
Release Date: June 7, 2016
I have been waiting for this book for forever. I read the first book, The Falconer, exactly a year ago and loved it! You can find my review for it here. This book actually came out already in the UK but I decided to be patient and wait for it to be released here in the states. Mostly because I like the American covers better ;). Anyway, this series has to do with the fae set in Scotland during the Victorian Era. It is a great fantasy/steampunk read. I don't really read a lot of steampunk but I really enjoyed this.

I really wasn't crazy about the first book in this series, Red Queen, but I am willing to give this series another shot. This series takes the two genres of science fiction and fantasy and mashes them together, which I find really interesting. I only gave the first book three stars and you can find my review for it here. But I really want to see where the author goes with this series because in my experience if the first book isn't good, the second one is usually amazing. This has been the case with a lot of series I've read like Vampire Academy, The Lunar Chronicles, Mara Dyer, etc. Each of them had a not so great first book but the second book was DYNAMITE. So I'm really hoping this is the case with The Glass Sword. Also I just really love these book covers, and that really shouldn't be a reason why I want a book BUT IT IS.

This is the second book in Kate McGarry's Thunder Road series. The first book is called Nowhere But Here and it was just a really fun and addicting contemporary romance. It kind of reminds of Sons of Anarchy but a little more tame. Walk the Edge is a continuation of the series but with different protagonists. I'm so excited for this. These books are definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. I tried reading McGarry's other series starting with the first book Pushing the Limits but I never really got into to it. The story didn't really pull me in nor did the rest of the series. However, this Thunder Road series is definitely addicting. MOTORCYCLES! BAD BOYS! How could this possibly go wrong? Answer: It can't so read it!
Release Date: March 22, 2016
April Genevieve Tuckolke is the author of one my favorite YA gothic/horror books, Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. When I found out that she was coming out with a new book I knew it had to be on my most anticipated list of 2016. I love her writing because it's so different and provoking. The summary on goodreads makes it sound like this book is going to be like Mara Dyer, We Were Liars, The Virgin Suicides, and a bunch of other works. I love all of those books so I'm sure I'll love this.
This is the last book in the 5th Wave Trilogy (which was originally meant to be a 6 book series, still a little mad about that). I love this series and for some reason a lot of people do not like it. I kind of can see why some people wouldn't like it but I'm obsessed. The 5th Wave is the first book, the second book is The Infinite Sea, and this third book will be the epic conclusion. The 5th Wave actually was made into a movie that's coming out in January, which I'm totally going to check out. This is a straight science fiction/dystopia series that involves aliens and action...ALL THE GOOD STUFF. I really wish there were going to be more books.
I loved A Court of Thorns and Roses so I can't wait for the sequel. A lot of people seem to think that something between Feyre and Ryhsand is going to happen and I have to agree. Judging from the end of ACOTAR Feyre and Tamlin may be no more....It's kind of like what happened in the Shatter Me series! We all loved Adam and Juliette, and then there was Warner...who I HATED and then by the second book I loved him and hated Adam. And thank the Lord, Juliette pulled a MAJOR switch in her love interest. I think this is what will happen in ACOMAF and I'm really excited to see it. Yes I love Tamlin but I also LOVE Rhysand.

I NEED THIS BOOK. Heather Demetrios is seriously one of my favorite authors. I love all of her books. And she's so diverse in what she writes about. Whether it's fantasy like the Dark Caravan Trilogy or it's her contemporary books like I'll Meet You There, Demetrios is a fantastic writer. Blood Passage is the second book in the Dark Caravan Trilogy which is a fantasy series that deals with jinnis and other mythology. I read the fist book, Exquisite Captive , last year and really loved it. I'm really excited to get my hands on this because it was pushed back and it feels like I've been waiting forever for it.

If you know me and follow my reviews, you'd know that one of my favorite books of 2015 was The Wrath and the Dawn. The Rose and the Dagger is the sequel to this book and I am so so excited to read it. This series is a retelling of the classic tale of A Thousand and One Nights and it's so beautifully written. Also the books themselves are just beautiful. You can find my review for the first book here.

This is the sequel to Sabaa Tahir's debut novel An Ember in the Ashes, which was one of my top books of 2015. Roman history and YA fantasy go hand in hand in these books and I lOVE IT. I'm really excited to see where the author goes with this story in the next book. I know it will be epic.

This is kind of a random book on my list but I'm really really excited for it. Lady Jane Grey is one of my favorite historical figures, partly because of the film Lady Jane with Helena Bonham Carter (GO WATCH IT) and partly because the Tudor history has always interested me. Kings and Queens will never fail to capture my attention.

IT'S MARISSA MEYER, NEED I SAY ANYTHING MORE? I am so flipping excited for this book. We now have a summary on goodreads and we now know it's the background story of the Queen of Hearts of Wonderland. We find out why she's so evil and understand her character. Oh man I can't wait.

2. Untitled (Throne of Glass 5) by Sarah J. Maas
Release Date: Late 2016 (as far as we know)
I also can't wait for the 5th book in the Sarah J. Maas' Throne of glass series! We don't have a cover or a release date yet but I'm sure it's coming soon. Gah so excited.

DO YOU KNOW HOW EXCITED I AM FOR THIS BOOK? WE ARE FINALLY GETTING A NEW CASSANDRA CLARE BOOK! We have been waiting for this since City of Heavenly Fire came out and the Mortal Instruments series ended, THAT WAS IN MAY 2014. So I really need another shadowhunter book ASAP. This originally was supposed to come out in the Fall of 2015 but was pushed back until March 2016. It's only a few months away so I'll try to be patient! This book will have new characters who we first met in City of Heavenly Fire who will have grown up since then. I think we will also see some of our favorite characters from TMI as well in this book. I NEED IT NOW!
There you have it! My most anticipated books of 2016! I really can't wait to get my hands on all of these books! What books are you looking forward this year?
