Top Ten 2016 Releases I Meant To Read But Didn't Get To (But TOTALLY Plan To)
- Every year I have books I was DYING to read and for some reason or other just didn't get to. Part of the problem is that I'm a slower reader than most of my bookish friends. The other part?? Well, I'm an insane mood-reader. I have a VERY hard time reading on a schedule or forcing myself to read things that I'm not in the mood for. THESE poor books didn't get read due to a combination of time and moods :(
1. A Week of Mondays by Jessica Brody- I completely love a Groundhog's Day story. I mean, Before I Fall is one of my all-time faves.
2. Never Missing, Never Found by Amanda Panitch- Damage Done super messed with my head and I really wanted to see what else this author would come up with. BUT-- I didn't get to it. Hopefully I will in 2017!!
3. Afterward by Jennifer Mathieu- Oh jeez, this is an auto-buy author for me and I need to get to reading!
4. All in Pieces by Suzanne Young- It came out late fall, so that's why I didn't get to it yet-- I totally will soon though!
5. Seven Ways We Lie by Riley Redgate- This sounds like such a "me" book & I'm using my Christmas gift card to buy it.
6. Once Upon a Kiss by Robin Palmer- This is set in the 80's and I own it, so I DEFINITELY have to read it.
7. For This Life Only by Stacey Kade- I love Stacey Kade so much!! Have you read The Ghost and the Goth series? I loved the cuteness/awesomeness of that series.
8. The Girl Who Fell by Shannon M. Parker- I need to get to this because there really aren't enough YA books about the dark side of relationships.
9. Girl Against Universe by Paula Stokes- I never read a Paula Stokes book, and I wanted 2016 to be the year I did!! I've heard nothing but GOOD about this book, so hopefully I'll find time in 2017.
10. Replica by Lauren Oliver- Clearly I'm a failure as a book person. I've had this for over 6 months and it's still unread :(
Which 2016 books are you bummed that you didn't find time to read? Which of these books should go to the TOP of my 2017 TBR?
I had The Girl Who Fell on my most anticipated list last year and then never even got a copy! Oops. I really want to read Girl Against the Universe soon too.
ReplyDeleteGirl Against the Universe made my list too. I really want to read All in Pieces too. I hope you like Replica more than I did when you get to it. I loved Seven Ways We Lie. Good luck getting to these!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you like Seven Ways We Lie!! I'm PUMPED to read that book!
DeleteI loved Girl Against the Universe! And I really loved All In Pieces; i read it in one sitting!
ReplyDeleteAndi told you to read All in Pieces, didn't she?? :)
DeleteI totally relate to being a mood reader! Replica and Girl Against The Universe are two books that I also still need to read :)
ReplyDeleteYou know what I don't see on this list, Winter and The Raven King. Don't think I don't remember that you never read them. And don't think I will stop whining about how you need to read them. But also, I still need to read Replica and Once Upon a Kiss sounds good.
ReplyDeleteYou can borrow Once Upon a Kiss if you want... I'll let you know if you want to after I finish it :) LOLOLOL I thought about putting Winter and The Raven King on here, but I purposely didn't because I was ashamed!!
DeleteOh read Afterward ASAP. It's so good! :)
ReplyDeleteYES!!! I am so happy to hear that!
DeleteNever missing Never Found is my book! Read it :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to know!! I didn't LOVE Damage Done, but it intrigued me enough to want to read more by her.
DeleteYou've reminded me of some I'd hoped to read last year, too - Never Missing Never Found and Afterward. Those look so good. Fingers crossed we both enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteI have very high hopes for both of those books!
DeleteI haven't read any of these, but I can totally see why you want to get to them. I'm totally behind on my YA reading. Maybe I'll catch up in 2017!
ReplyDeleteReplica is on my list too! I want to read it so badly!

I'm a mood reader too and it does wreak havoc with the TBR sometimes! I thought Replica was quite good, I know it got mixed reviews, but I hope you like it. All in Pieces looks fun!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these either and my tbr just got longer! Thanks for sharing.My TTT
ReplyDeleteI've become a bit of a mood reader recently as well. It really does affect your reading! I hope you get to read some of these soon!
ReplyDeleteMood reading is the worst sometimes!!! But one good thing is that I read books when I'm in the mood for them, so I end up liking them better.... I think so anyway?
DeleteI love the concept of Replica and how it tells the story in two POV's completely seperate. Also the cover is so pretty! Great list :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a cool idea!! I'm just wondering how I should go about reading it??
DeleteOoo! I spy some on this list I wish I'd read in 2016 too. To name two, A Week of Mondays and Once Upon a Kiss. Both look so fun - plus I'm all for contemporary fairy tales, which is one 'Kiss' seems to mirror. Also I remember seeing All in Pieces around when it was new. I'll have to look it up again. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list - and thanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland, Michelle.
Replica made my list. I have had the book since June and haven't read it.
ReplyDeleteHi! I cannot believe I don't know about almost all of these books! Especially a Week of Mondays. That just sounds awesome from the title! Great list :)

I haven't read any of these either! So many of them sound good though. Never Missing, Never Found especially sounds good. I hope that you love all of these with you get to them! 😀😋
ReplyDeleteAwesome list! So many of them have such adorable covers! :) Ahhh Replica.. that's another one on my list that I have to read too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking out my TTT!
Replica made my list too. And Girl Against the Universe is one that I definitely wish I'd gotten do, but ... Too. Many. Books. To. Read.
ReplyDeleteNicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Great list!
ReplyDeleteReplica has been in my shelf since the release date but I haven't got the mood for that one. I need to catch up this year!
Tiffani @ The Book Venom
Great list. I totally forgot about Replica. I am such a slow reader as well, it's a problem sometimes.
ReplyDeleteMegan @reading away the days
Yep, same for quite a few of these. I'm definitely the most shocked I haven't read A WEEK OF MONDAYS because I too love Groundhog Day stories and BEFORE I FALL is also one of my favorites!
