Top Ten Books I Hope Will Be 5 Star Reads
- I almost did the original topic which was- Top Ten Latest 5 Star Reads. But that list started to look like my "Best of 2015" list. I guess I haven't read THAT many 5 star books in 2016 yet... which is why I hope THESE will be. And I have a really really good feeling about a lot of them:
1. You Know Me Well by David Levithan & Nina LaCour
- Expected Release Date: June 7, 2016
- Why I expect it to be fab: Because I LOVE Nina LaCour!! I haven't read anything written by her yet that I haven't insanely loved. And David Levithan isn't so bad either.
2. Every Exquisite Thing by Matthew Quick
- Expected Release Date: May 31, 2016
- Why I expect it to be fab: Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock KILLED my emotions. This one is about a reading a book that changes your life. How could I not love that?
3. With Malice by Eileen Cook
- Expected Release Date: June 7, 2016
- Why I expect it to be fab: Because I've been in a mystery mood, I've had good luck with Eileen Cook's books in the past, and I also kind of love the "I can't remember" trope.
4. Never Missing, Never Found by Amanda Panitch
- Expected Release Date: June 28, 2016
- Why I expect it to be fab: Because it sort of sounds like Vanishing Girls, and I loved that.
5. The Outliers (#1) by Kimberly McCreight
- Expected Release Date: May 3, 2016
- Why I expect it to be fab: I've loved both of this author's previous books. They were really good mysteries full of newspaper articles, blog posts, and other cool additions.
6. How it Ends by Catherine Lo
- Expected Release Date: June 7, 2016
- Why I expect it to be fab: I love books about complicated friendships.
7. A Week of Mondays by Jessica Brody
- Expected Release Date: August 2, 2016
- Why I expect it to be fab: I loved 52 Reasons to Hate My Father and this is the first book she's written since then that has that same cute/funny/sassy-vibe.
8. 738 Days by Stacey Kade
- Expected Release Date: June 7, 2016
- Why I expect it to be fab: I haven't read anything by Stacey Kade since The Ghost and the Goth series ended, and I feel it's long overdue.
9. 100 Days of Cake by Shari Goldhagen
- Expected Release Date: May 17, 2016
- Why I expect it to be fab: I think this sounds equally serious and fun. I don't read a ton of books about mental illness, but I like the description of this one.
10. Afterward by Jennifer Mathieu
- Expected Release Date: September 20, 2016
- Why I expect it to be fab: This author writes books about TOUGH subjects. That makes me excited.

I love your twist on this topic! I should do something like this sometime. It's fun to predict the books you think you'll love.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love how you spun the topic for this week! I generally have a good feeling about books as well, after being such a voracious reader for years. I know what my tastes are, and most of the time, I'm not disappointed. I hope A Week of Mondays and Afterward will be 5 star reads for me too, especially the latter. I've loved both of Jennifer's previous books, so I have no doubt about her newest! Thanks so much for stopping by my top ten. :)
