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. Everyone join as you please. This week’s topic is: Top Ten Books Anticipated Reads For The First Half Of 2017. 

I am excited for quite a few books coming out next year. Most of the list today are sequels or new books in a series, that I cannot wait to get my hands on. 2017 is going to be a big year and I cannot wait.  However, These books are in no particular order.  

Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare: I know I said that there was no order to my list, but I would be lying if I said Lord of Shadows wasn’t my most anticipated read. If you know me well, then you would know that I love Cassandra Clare. And after reading Lady Midnight this year, my love for her books and the Shadowhunter world has grown. Lady Midnight was her best yet and I cannot wait to see what Lord of Shadows brings | May 2017

Nova by Rebecca Yarros: I love Rebecca Yarros’ books, I don’t read a whole lot of NA, but her books are those I read without question. Nova is the sequel to Wilder which came out earlier this year. And by the way that it ended, Nova is going to be a wild ride | February  

Breaking by Danielle Rollins: With the way that Burning ended, I know that I have to read Breaking as soon as I can. However, it’s only a companion novel so I am intrigued to see how it all pans out. I am guessing everyone is going to meet in the middle | June 

The Ship Beyond Time by Heidi Heilig: The Girl from Everywhere was one of my favourite reads this year, and I cannot way to see where the next book takes us. However, just by reading the synopsis I know that we are in for a bumpy ride | March

Avenged by Amy Tintera:  If you have read Ruined, then you know that the ending was one hell of a cliffhanger and it’s begging to be read. It’s everything that I love in a book and I am expecting great things from book 2 | May

Now I Rise by Kiersten White: Again another series that I started this year and loved, And I Darken was just the start. Set in the Ottoman Empire, with a gender switch of Vlad the Impaler. And I Darken was fierce, bloody and very complicated. I cannot wait to see what is next for Lada | June

Wires and Nerve VI by Marissa Meyer: I adored the Lunar Chronicles, they were fantastic. With a brilliant cast, it’s an addicting series. I cannot wait to see what they are up to in this new graphic novel | January 

Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor: I love Laini Taylor’s books. This one sounds magic and just as beautiful as her rest | March  

Perfect by Cecelia Ahern: I was left with questions after finishing Flawed earlier this year and now I want them answered | April

Begin, End, Begin: A #LoveOzYA Anthology: Yes Please. Some of my favourite Aussie Young Adult author coming together and edited by Danielle Binks. | April
