I'm excited for 2016 already!! So many good books are coming out this year, and I'm pumped to try to read as many of them as I can. I already read Firsts and I definitely recommend. It's completely unique and fearless. My most anticipated for this week is This is Where It Ends. It totally sounds like a "me" book. I also want to read Once Upon a Kiss because HELLO!?!?! It's like 13 Going on 30, but without the whole being 30 thing. And I'm definitely thinking about Truthwitch and Passenger. They're just a tad hyped & that always tends to scare me away, but I'm thinking about them.
Which books are you interested in this week?
This is such a great week for new book releases! I really loved Passenger and I'm dying to read Truthwitch and the hype is making me even more obsessed with starting it. Alexandra Bracken and Susan Dennard are doing an event in NYC next week and I took a half day so I could be early to it! I'm hoping to finish Truthwitch by then. And I think I'm going to read Firsts next week! I really want to get to new releases right away without letting them sit at all this year!
ReplyDeleteThat event sounds amazing!! And yes, good to get there early... it's bound to be packed! Firsts was definitely something different for YA and I appreciated that. I hope you like it!
DeleteThere are some awesome books out this week. I am curious about Truthwitch and Passenger myself. I reviewed This is Where it Ends today, it is powerful but it has its flaws. I would highly recommend The Impostor, Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI am very interest to see how This is Where it Ends is for me. I like books that deal with serious situations. I also am really thinking about Truthwitch. And Passenger. I just kind of wish they weren't series.
DeleteI really enjoyed Firsts! A lot of these looks so good. After seeing all the negative reviews for This is Where it Ends I may have to pass on that one.
ReplyDeleteOh no!! I haven't been reading the reviews for This is Where it Ends! That stinks that it doesn't seem to be living up to expectations :( I still want to try it though. I'm glad you liked Firsts. It wasn't perfect, but I read it really fast and enjoyed what the author was going for.
DeleteI read THICKER THAN WATER and wow...it's an important book about how drug abuse/addiction affects the entire family not just the person who is an addict. I am really looking forward to FIRSTS
ReplyDeleteOh good, I'm glad to hear that about Thicker Than Water. It sounds like something I would really like. I hope you like Firsts. I thought it was something fresh for YA.
DeleteSo many amazing books are coming out in January. I am desperate for so many of them, but have 0 money because of Christmas. As soon as I get paid at the end of this month, I will be buying a whole bunch of these - especially Passenger and Truth Witch.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the $$$ thing after Christmas!! I am so broke, it hurts!! But I have B&N gift cards burning a hole in my wallet!!!!
