2016 was SUCH a good year for books. A lot of new series were launched, and there were some pretty good sequels too.
And 2017 looks like it's going to be just as amazing.
Here are the top books I can't wait to get my hands on in 2017!
JANUARY
Wayfarer - Alexandra Bracken
Release: 3 January
Sequel to Passenger, which was full of time-traveling, exotic places, and romance.
Windwitch - Susan Dennard
Release: 10 January
Sequel to Truthwitch, which I thought was great and left on an excellent and agonizing cliffhanger.
Carve the Mark - Veronica Roth
Release: 17 January
I've heard a lot of hype about this one. I thought Divergent was good, so I'm excited to see what Roth does with a new story.
Caraval - Stephanie Garber
Release: 31 January
Another book that has been receiving a LOT of hype. Magic and mystery at a night carnival.
FEBRUARY
Norse Mythology - Neil Gaimen
Release: 7 February
I mean, it's Neil Gaimen. Retelling Norse mythology. How could you not want to read this?
A Conjuring of Light - V. E. Schwab
Release: 21 February
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE! I have LOVED Schwab's Shades of Magic series, and I am so excited to read the third and final volume in this trilogy. I expect all the feels.
The Ship Beyond Time - Heidi Heilig
Release: 28 February
Sequel to The Girl from Everywhere, which I read this year and really liked.
MARCH
Traitor to the Throne - Alwyn Hamilton
Release: 7 March
Sequel to Rebel of the Sands, one of my top books of the year.
A Closed and Common Orbit - Becky Chambers
Release: 14 March
Sequel to A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet. Gives me my sci-fi/space opera fix
A Crown of Wishes - Roshani Chokshi
Release: 28 March
A companion book to The Star-Touched Queen. It features one of the characters that was present in the first book, but tells a different story.
APRIL
Skullsworn - Brian Staveley
Release: 25 April
Okay, so Staveley's Unhewn Throne series has been so high on my TBR pile for like a year, and I still haven't gotten around to it despite hearing how good of a series it is. This is a new book by him and the premise seems super interesting: A priestess on her journey to join the ranks of the God of Death.
MAY
City of Miracles - Robert Jackson Bennett
Release: 2 May
Third book of the Divine Cities, what could loosely be called a series, even though each book is a self-contained story. This novel focuses on one of the more elusive and bad-ass characters, Sigrud. Jackson's writing and story-telling are superb, so I'm excited to see how this one plays out.
A Court of Wings and Ruin - Sarah J. Maas
Release: 2 May
Third in the series. I loved the second book, and it left off on a pretty big cliffhanger. Maas is amazing at character building, and I really want to see how her characters (who went through a LOT of crap the first two books and managed to just get back on their feet) fare and what damage they can do.
JUNE
Our Dark Duet - Victoria Schwab
Release: 13 June
Sequel to This Savage Song. And Schwab has become one of the authors where I'll automatically read anything she puts out because she is AMAZING.
NO SET DATE
Oathbringer - Brandon Sanderson
Release: Possibly November
Third installment of the Stormlight Archive. I already know this will be one of my favorites. Words of Radiance absolutely blew me away, and I have no doubt that this one will exceed expectations too. Plus, I'm stoked for the reread leading up to this release.
Ember in the Ashes #3 (Currently Untitled) - Sabaa Tahir
Gold Seer Trilogy #3 (Currently Untitled) - Rae Carson
I know as the year progresses there will be more great books released. What books are you most excited for this year? Let me know in the comments!
And 2017 looks like it's going to be just as amazing.
