Most Anticipated Books for the Rest of 2016

Most Anticipated Books for the Rest of 2016

June 14, 2016 Posted by angelreads Features, Top Ten Tuesday

TTT

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All bloggers are then welcomed to join. This week’s topic is: Top Ten Most Anticipated Releases For The Second Half Of The Year

This year has been a hit and miss for me with new releases, some I adored and some I was quite disappointed in. I am hoping that the second half of 2016 will bring me many 5 start books. Here are 10 of my most anticipated books for the rest of year. 

July (1)

P.S I Like You by Kasie West: I love Kasie West, I have yet to have a problem with any of the books that I have read by her and that one just sound so adorable. P.S I Like You is out July 26th.

TTT 16

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany: Harry Potter, need I say more.  Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is out July 31st. 

August

It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover: Like Kasie West, I really enjoy reading Hoover’s books and I am quite excited for this one – seems like it’s going to break my heart. It Ends with Us is out August 2nd. 

TTT 16 2

Nevernight by Jay Kristoff: High Fantasy, Schools, Strong Female Protagonist – yes please. I am also going to the book launch here in Melbourne so pretty excited. Nevernight is out August 9th. 

September

Our Chemical Hearts by Krystal Sutherland: This one sounds so interesting and different, plus it’s by an Aussie author so that is always a plus. Our Chemical Hearts is out September 6th. 

TTT 16 3

Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake: I adored Anna Dresses in Blood, so when I heard that Blake was brining out another book I knew I needed it, and then I read the synopsis – I was in love. Three Sisters, One Crown; things are about to get crazy. Three Dark Crowns is out September 20th. 

Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor: This one sounds like it’s going to be epic and fantasical. Strange the Dreamer is out September 27th. 

TTT 16 4

Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo: I really enjoyed Six of Crows when I read it a couple of months ago and I cannot wait to see what happens next. Crooked Kingdom is out September 27th. 

October

Nemesis by Anna Banks: This one sound so interesting and pulling, I am all for the ‘forbidden’ love and when it’s set in a fantasy world it makes it that but better. Nemesis is out October 4th. 

TTT 16 5

November

Heartless by Marissa Meyer: I love Marissa’s writing, world building, characters, romances and I am so excited to see what she does with this tale. Heartless comes out November 8th. 

TTT 16 6

So that is what I am looking forward to for the rest of 2016, do we share anything that is the same? Are you looking forward to anything later this year? What are some of your favourite reads in 2016 so far? Let’s Chat!

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?

January was a really solid reading month. I read s January was a really solid reading month. I read some books that had been on my tbr for some time, reread a few things that peaked my interest. I also started a few new series. And just had a good time!
