Top Ten 2016 Releases I Meant To Read But Didn’t Get To

Top Ten 2016 Releases I Meant To Read But Didn’t Get To

January 10, 2017 Posted by angelreads Features, Top Ten Tuesday 8 Comments

Meant to Read 2016

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 2016 Releases I Meant To Read But Didn’t Get To. 

2016 was a big year for YA. There were books coming out left right and centre and because of that it was very hard to keep up. I read over 100 books in 2016, with most of them being released in that year, however, I did miss a lot. Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is about 2016 releases that I was meant to read but just didn’t get the chance to get to. As always these are in no particular order.

Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo: I loved Six of Crows. The only reason I haven’t picked this one up is because I want to get the hardback box set and I haven’t had the money to.

The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater: After reviews started to roll in for this one, I wasn’t excited to pick it up. Firstly, I am not a massive fan of the series. I enjoyed reading the books and I want to know what is going to happen next. But then I saw that not everyone was happy with the ending. Maybe soon.

Girl Against the Universe by Paula Stokes: This one hasn’t been published in Australia yet, so I am waiting for the paperback to be released in the US to pick it up and read it.

 

The Glittering Court by Richelle Mead: If you have known me for a while, then you might know that I love Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy world. So when I heard that she was writing new books I wanted to read it. Yet I still haven’t picked it up

Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton: This sounds like my type of book. However, most fantasy has disappointed me this year so I have been put off. I hope that I can get to it soon.

The Problem with Forever by Jennifer L. Armentrout: I have yet to read any of Jennifer’s contemporary work and this one sounds like a good place to star. Again I haven’t had the chance to pick it up.

The Forbidden Wish by Jessica Khoury: I was meant to read this when I pre-ordered a copy of it earlier this year. But like usual I just didn’t get to it.

P.S I Like You by Kasie West: I love Kasie West, but like with Girl Against the Universe – I can’t find a paperback yet and I need that to match all my other Kasie West books

My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton and Jodi Meadows: This one didn;t get added to my list until later on in the year, but it sounds like something that I might just enjoy.

This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab: I have no reason why I haven’t picked this one up. But, I do hope to get to it soon.

And that is it! What books that came out in 2016 that you were meant to read, but never got around to? Do we share any that is the same? Have you read the books on my list? Let’s Chat!

    Oh no, I didn’t know people were unhappy with The Raven King ending!! I’ve tried really hard to stay away from spoilers, so I haven’t really heard much of anything about it. I keep hoping I’ll be in the mood to read it, and just never have!! I think it’s because I read all the other books so SLOW. I don’t know what it is about that series, but I cannot read it at a normal pace!

    My top ten was all about series that released in 2016 but if had included stand alones GATU would have been on there. I really want to get to it this year. This Savage Song was really good, so I hope you find the time to enjoy it. The same with Crooked Kingdom. I wasnt a big fan of Rebel of the Sands though, but Im definately the minority there. Great list, and I hope you have a great reading year!

April was a very good reading month for me, especi April was a very good reading month for me, especially after last month. I had some really fantastic reads in April. I did do a lot of re-reading this month but I had such blast. I re-read Caught Up and Play Along and the first 4 books in the Ironside Academy series. 📚

I read some books that I’ve been waiting for including the new book from Kels and Denise Stone, as well as the new Tessa Hale. ✨

Overall it was such a good month, lots of binge reading series and starting on some new authors. I’m so excited to see what May brings. 🖤

What was your favourite book that you read in April?

IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️ If you didn’t know al IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️

If you didn’t know already I love F1, have ever since I was younger and decided that this year it would be fun to combined my love for F1 and reading together. 📚

After a week off we are back at it. We are in Miami this week’s and things are only just heating up. This week I’m reading Falling Off the Cliff  Kanitha P.

…

Formula 1 legend in the making and rising star Thiago Valencia is chasing redemption as well as his second World Champion title. With a tarnished reputation and an undetermined future in F1 that hangs by a terribly loose thread, he can’t afford to lose his seat. Thiago is ready to do anything to redeem himself and erase his past mistakes. When a mysterious woman intrudes on his private party in Monte Carlo, he is certain the universe has brought his polar opposite into his life as salvation. He is sunshine, she is moonlight; he is a bright star and she is a moonbeam.

Destiny takes the wheel, steering Kamari into Thiago’s orbit, but her open disdain and closely guarded heart warn her to stay away. Enchanted by her charms, Thiago is intent on melting her freezing barriers and tearing down the walls shielding her heart.

When Kamari agrees to help him save his future by being his fake girlfriend, the unexpected happens, triggered by a game of lies, secrets and desire.

As they plunge towards the finish line, the race veers offtrack and neither of them are ready to fall off the cliff.
… 

How Race Week Reads Will Work 

On Monday of race week I’ll announce the book I’ll be reading for the week, then throughout the week I’ll be posting stories and my thoughts. And then on Sunday, race day my review and final thoughts will go up.

A little late but I am finally getting to share Ra A little late but I am finally getting to share Race 5’s Race Week Reads review. This week I read, Downforce (Pit Lane #1) by Hannah Lily.

🏎️ Review 🏎️

I had so much fun reading this book. I knew I was in for a ride as soon as I started Downforce. It was entertaining, fun, and I just had a good time reading it. And while it does explore some heavy topics, I don’t think it took away from the fun nature of the book.

Right from the start, we can see the tension between F1 Presenter, Olivia Fraser and F1 Driver, Jonah Scott. And while silly at times, it was fun seeing them interact together. Both really didn’t like each other. They both had said things about and to one another that sometimes it caused chaos. And I was here for it.

I did find that at times, just silly things happened. I am not a massive rom-com reader, and there was a lot of falling into one another, and arguments stemmed from nothing. This is honestly just because I don’t like these types of scenes, but it didn’t really make me dislike the book at all.

I loved the whole road trip aspect of the book, it’s different from other F1 books I’ve read so far this year and just made for some interesting banter and lust. I do wish that the road trip was a little longer than it was because I did feel like the romance moved pretty quickly here, but again, it didn’t really affect how much I was enjoying the book.

The romance was this combination of being slow burn and full of angst right at the start, to the road trip happening and then bam. But I loved it, though. The banter between Olivia and Jonah was fantastic. I loved seeing them grow not only with one another but with themselves as well.

Overall, I had a great time reading Downforce and will be continuing the series for sure when the other books come out. The romance was angsty and just felt right. The found family aspect really worked well here, and the F1 aspects were pretty okay. Not the best I’ve seen, but not the worst either. If you are looking for a fun read that has a great romance and a little rom-comy, then pick this one up.
I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. There have been so many books that I have enjoyed but there are some that I have just loved. 🖤

I didn’t realise before I put this post together that all of these books are from authors I’ve read and loved before. There hasn’t been a Rebecca Yarros book that I haven’t rated under 4 Stars. Elsie Silver is just making me love everything that she writes. Wild and Wrangled may be my favourite in the series. 📖

Three rereads also made it to this list. Binding 13 still makes me gasp and smile all at the same time. And Caught Up and Play Along just hit every time. 📚

I’ve honestly had a great year so far and since making this post a few more books I’ve read I’ve ended up loving. It’s going to be hard to pick my favourites at the end of the year that is for sure. ✨

What books have you loved reading this year? Are any books that made my list on yours? Let me know!
