Best Book You’ve Read So Far In 2016

Lady Midnight was my most anticipated read for 2016, especially after City of Heavenly Fire! Honestly, I love anything Cassandra Clare writes and the whole Shadowhunters’ world is my favorite book world. Lady Midnight was incredible and I loved it. Also THAT ENDING! Seriously, I can’t wait until the next book is released!

Best Sequel You’ve Read So Far In 2016

Of course, I’m picking A Court of Mist and Fury for this! This book was incredible. It was amazing. It was perfect! I’m still not over it and all I ever want to do is reread it. I also want it to be next May because I want the third book in my hands now.

New Release You Haven’t Read Yet, But Want To

We Are the Ants by Shaun David Hutchinson. It’s not a new, new release since it’s been out since January but I really want to read it at some point.

---

Most Anticipated Release for the Second Half of the Year

It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover, hands down! I am so excited for this book and a little nervous. Everyone has said it’s a read the requires tissues, so I’m preparing to cry my eyes out. I love all of her books though and she’s an incredible author. I really can’t wait!

Biggest Disappointment

So many people love this book. I think it’s one of those books you either really like or really don’t. I’m on the side that didn’t like it. I had such high hopes for it but ultimately it wasn’t for me. I was really disappointed because I had hoped I would like it.

Biggest Surprise

This book sat on my TBR for years. I never picked it up because I wasn’t sure if I would like it, but then B&N had this sale and I was like “Why not?” and I bought it. I loved it. This book kick-started my fantasy binge reading this year. And it eventually led to me reading ACOTAR and ACOMAF. It is such an amazing book and like I said I love it. Seriously, if you’ve thought about reading this but haven’t then do it. You won’t regret it!
