Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
This week's Top Ten Tuesday asks bloggers to share their top ten most anticipated releases for the second half of 2016. The following books are in no
particular order.
1. United by Melissa Landers is the last book in the Alienated trilogy. I cannot wait to find out more about Cara and Aelyx. After the cliffhanger in Invaded, I want to know more! This is one of my most anticipated series reads for the year. Release date: August 2, 2016.
2. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by J.K. Rowling is a MUST read for all the Harry Potter fans out there. It's the freaking eighth book! I cannot wait to get my hands on this! Who's up for a midnight release party? Release date: July 31, 2016.
4. Something in Between by Melissa de la Cruz will be a book that I know I can connect with. I work with a lot of low-income and first generation students and I know sometimes my students struggle to fit in. They don't know where they belong. Something in Between will be an emotional and heartfelt read. Release date: September 27, 2016.
5. Going Geek by Charlotte Huang is a novel I am looking forward to after reading For the Record. Huang caught my attention with East Coast preppy boarding school. Everyone knows I am a sucker for boarding school books. And yay for the East Coast!!! Release date: September 13, 2016.
6. Of Fire and Stars by Audrey Coulthurst is a novel that is pretty much its own unique fairytale about magic, love and duty. This coming-of-age novel will challenge trust between two kingdoms. Release date: November 22, 2016.
7. As I Descended by Robin Talley is a modern day Macbeth retelling. Revenge and redemption will rein in this upcoming novel. I enjoyed Talley's debut novel, Lies We Tell Ourselves, and I cannot wait to read As I Descended. Release date: September 6, 2016.
8. Heartless by Marissa Meyer is on many people's TBR list for the year. Not only is this novel a retelling of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but I cannot wait for Meyer's take on this classic. How many retellings do we read about the Queen of Hearts. What is her backstory? Much like Levana's story in the Lunar Chronicles, I am pretty sure Heartless will be captivating read. Release Date: November 8, 2016.
9. The Midnight Star by Marie Lu is the last book in the Young Elites trilogy and I cannot wait to get my hands on this. Adelina is one of my favorite characters and I love how readers get to read an anti-hero's point of view. Release date: October 11, 2016.
10. Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Córdova is a book about magic, brujas and a spell that has gone wrong. Ever since I heard about this book, I wanted to read it. This will be perfect for paranormal lovers. I am currently reading this one and I am loving it so far. Release date: September 6, 2016.
11. Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco is a title I already had the privilege to read but this novel is OUTSTANDING! It's atmospheric and macabre at its finest. This gothic thriller is the perfect read for the fall! Release Date: September 20, 2016.
What books are you anticipating for the second half of the year? Have you read any of the books listed above? If so do you recommend them?
One of my blogging friend's read Melissa Lander's first book (in this series) and really liked it. I have a copy, so someday I do plan on reading it. It sounds really good and I'm always up for trying a new-to-me author when the stories sound good. :)
