Top Ten Tuesday- Books From The First Half Of 2017

Top Ten Tuesday is a really cool original feature/weekly meme created over at The Broke and The Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten List that bloggers join in on answering... and today (December 13th) I'm one of them :)

Today's Topic

Top Ten Books I'm Looking Forward To For The First Half Of 2017



1.  Lucky Girl by Amanda Maciel- I've been DYING for this ever since I read (and loved) Tease.

2.  We Are Okay by Nina LaCour- New Nina LaCour???  Oh yes, I'll be reading this ASAP.

3.  Beautiful Broken Girls by Kim Savage- I loved After the Woods, and am so curious to see what else this author has up her sleeve.

4.  A Good Idea by Cristina Moracho- I love YA Mystery/Thrillers and this one seems totally under the radar-- which is also a plus for me.

5.  The Edge of Everything by Jeff Giles- I know this is Fantasy, but it sounds like my kind of Fantasy!

6.  After the Fall by Kate Hart- I love books about reputation and super complicated relationships/situations--- plus, the cover!!

7.  One of Us is Lying by Karen McManus- It's like the Breakfast Club but with a murder??  Oh yes, I need this!

8.  Bang by Barry Lyga- I've been wanting to read more Barry Lyga ever since the I Hunt Killers series wrapped up-- and this one sounds SO harsh, which I totally love!

9.  Textrovert by Lindsey Summers- This just sounds like one of those funny/cute romance books that I'm hoping is told through text??  I love books told in different/unique formats.

10.  Goodbye Days by Jeff Zentner- This one sounds SO heart-wrenching.  A boy sends a text and the recipient ends up dying while reading it.





What books are you excited for in the first part of 2017?

  1. Oh, I should really get to a book by Nina LaCour! I've heard so many good things about her books, but I still haven't read any! (*shame*) Same with Jeff Zentner. Hope to get to them in 2017 :)

  2. So many great contemporaries on this list!! <3 I'm super excited for We Are Okay & Goodbye Days, I love both Nina LaCour and Jeff Zentner's previous books ESPECIALLY The Serpent King. I'm sure this one would be as heartbreaking, if not more �� I have wayyy to many books on my 2017 TBR and it's obviously more than 10! :P

  9. I just got A Good Idea in the mail! It sounds SO good! I'm hoping to love it as much as some of the other YA thrillers I've read this year! I'm also really looking forward to One of Us is Lying! The synopsis for that one really sold me!

    1. You'll have to let me know about A Good Idea!! I haven't heard much about it at all, but that cover is creepy and it sounds amazing!

  10. Oh my gosh, there are already many books I'm excited about for next year, but only one that's on your list... How weird is that? The Edge of Everything is my pick from your list, but I guess I need to check out some others as well :)
    Have a terrific Tuesday and happy reading :)
