Hey y'all!
It's been a while since I've posted anything! It's been crazy at work, but I'm ready to get back into it. My goal for 2016 is to read a more diverse set of books. More Sci-Fi, Adult Contemporary, a little Mystery.
Here are my top 8 new releases for the first half of 2016!
1) Passenger by Alexandra Bracken (January 5, 2016)
I have seen this one all over booktube and everyone is liking it. It's about Etta Spencer who is a violin prodigy and she loses everything she knows and loves. Thrust into an unfamiliar world by a stranger with a dangerous agenda, Etta is certain of only one thing: she has traveled not just miles but years form home. Doesn't that sound like an awesome set up to a book?!
2) We Are the Ants by Shaun David Hutchinson (January 19, 2016)
This one caught my eye because of the cover. It just looks amazing. This one I haven't heard to much about, but the premise sounded interesting.
Henry Denton doesn't know why the aliens chose to abduct him when he was thirteen, and he doesn't know why they continue to steal him from his bed and take him aboard their ship.
3) Blackearts by Nicole Castroman (February 9, 2016)
Blackbeard the pirate was known for striking fear in the hearts of the bravest of sailors. but once h was just a young man who dreamed of leaving his rigid life behind to chase adventure in faraway lands.
This one caught my attention because of that description. I've always secretly been a fan of pirates & this book seems to be right up my alley.
4) Rebel Bully Geek Pariah by Erin Jade Lange (February 16, 2016)
The description on this one is what caught me. "The Breakfast Club" gets a modern, high stakes reboot in this story of four very different teens and a night that changes them forever.
UM I love "The Breakfast Club" - it is my second favorite movie. I don't expect this one to be very similar to the movie, but I'm excited to see what reboot it got.
5) The Crown by Collen Oakes (February 14, 2016)
Surprise, I have a Wonderland retelling on the list; that I'm excited for. (Don't worry your pretty little heads, it won't be the only one for 2016). This one caught me because the main character is not called Alice, but Dinah; which, if you remember from the original Alice In Wonderland, Dinah was her cat. The description reads: As Princess of Wonderland Palace and the future Queen of Hearts, Dinah's days are an endless monotony of tea, tarts, and a stream of vicious humiliations at the hands of her father, the King of Hearts.
6) Firstlife by Gena Shawalter (February 23, 2016)
I have seen this one everywhere! This cover is amazing, as well.
This one is about "Ten" who is an average 17 year old girl, who has spent the past 13 months locked inside the Prynne Asylum. She is locked there because of her refusal to let her parents choose where she'll live - after she dies.
This just sounds like a great premise to a book, and I cannot wait to get my hands on it!
7) Nora and Kettle by Lauren Nicolle Taylor (February 29, 2016)
I saw this on booktube (I cannot for the life of me remember who had it in their video). It sounds like a cute story. The description reads: What if Peter Pan was a homeless kid just trying to survive, and Wendy flew away for a really good reason? This is about 17 year old Kettle who is an orphaned Japanese American struggling to make a life in the aftermath of an event in history not often referred to - the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII.
I wanted to read more diverse books this year, and this is right up that alley.
8) A Study In Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro (March 1, 2016)
This one, honestly, just sounded cool to me.
This is about 16 year old Jamie Watson, who is the great-great-grandson to John Watson. It also has a girl named Charlotte Holes, who is the famous detective's enigmatic, fiercely independent great-great-granddaughter.
Let me know which books y'all are excited for in the first half of 2016!
See ya with another post! **Emily**
