Normally I'd change this topic up a little and share all of my favorite books that I've read in 2016 thus far, but, surprisingly, all my favorite reads of 2016 have been 2016 releases. So here are my favorite books of 2016 so far!
1. The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig
2. What You Always Wanted by Kristin Rae
3. Fridays with the Wizards by Jessica Day George
4. The Winner's Kiss by Marie Rutkoski
5. The Star-Touched Queen by Roshani Chokshi
6. The Only Thing Worse Than Me Is You by Lily Anderson
7. The Forbidden Orchid by Sharon Biggs Waller
8. The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson
9. The Crown's Game by Evelyn Skye
10. Poison is Not Polite by Robin Stevens
(technically a 2015 release, but it wasn't published in the U.S. until 2016)
11. The Rose and the Dagger by Renee Ahdieh
(technically a 2015 release, but it wasn't published in the U.S. until 2016)
11. The Rose and the Dagger by Renee Ahdieh
As a girl whose favorite genre is contemporary, I'm pleasantly surprised that half the list is fantasy. I do love fantasy, don't get me wrong, but it's never been as near and dear to my heart as realistic fiction.
Anyways, what books have you loved this year?

All these books sound so good :) I really want to read The Geeks Guide to Unrequited Love, it sounds really good :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so good! I just read it a couple days ago and loved it.
DeleteI really love the Wells and Wong mysteries. I hope the rest of them get published in the US soon!
ReplyDeleteThe third one is coming out next April! Here's the Goodreads link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30312871-first-class-murder
DeleteThe Only Thing Worse that Me Is You and The Unexpected Everything were both pretty close to perfection.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these & happy reading!
Weren't they??? Morgan Matson is such an autobuy author for me at this point, and I can't wait for Lily Anderson's next book.
DeleteI haven’t read any of these. I haven’t read any 2016 release at all.I bought some but they are still in my bookshelves.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
Ooh, you should definitely read some soon. There's been some good books this year.
DeleteOh there are a few of these that I haven't gotten to yet. I absolutely loved The Star-Touched Queen. I still need to read The Rose and the Dagger and The girl from Everywhere. Great list!

Definitely read those soon if you can! Heidi is such a great worldbuilder, and Renee is a master.

And The Unexpected Everything was so cute and fun and basically Clark is my favourite of ever. XD and zomg I want to read The Star Touched Queen so badly! THIS IS SUCH A GOOD LIST.

Isn't Clark wonderful??? I tried to claim him as my book boyfriend but, alas, he's already been taken. Thank you so much for dropping in!

The Girl From Everywhere looks so good! I've been wanting to read it for ages, so clearly I need to get on with that :)
ReplyDeleteI hear so many good things about The Crown's Game and The Star Touched Queen. I should get to those. Great list!
ReplyDeleteBASICALLY this is the list of books I need to get to ASAP (save The Unexpected Everything, which is the only one I've read off this list)! I am excited to read the Winner's trilogy. I have the whole series so that I can binge it! Great list!
