Ten 2016 Debuts Novels I’m Looking Forward To
Top Ten Tuesdays are hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, where we make lists of our top ten books (or something else!) based on that week’s prompt. The topics are provided ahead of time and can be found here. Book links bring you to Goodreads or my review.
I’m actually terrible about knowing which authors qualify as debuts each year, but thank glob for Goodreads Listopia! Here are some of the 2016 debuts I’m excited for, as well as the sentence in their synopses that had me say YAAAAS GIMME.
Blackhearts by Nicole Castroman
“Drawn to each other, they’re trapped by society and their own circumstances.“
Firsts by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn
“Seventeen-year-old Mercedes Ayres has an open-door policy when it comes to her bedroom.”
The Love that Split the World by Emily Henry
“The next night, under the stadium lights of the high school football field, she meets a beautiful boy named Beau, and it’s as if time just stops and nothing exists.”
Summer of Sloane by Erin L. Schneider
“Warm Hawaiian sun. Lazy beach days. Flirty texts with her boyfriend back in Seattle. These are the things seventeen-year-old Sloane McIntyre pictured when she imagined the summer”
Underwater by Marisa Reichardt
“But her kind act inadvertently played a role in a deadly tragedy.”
Bookishly Ever After by Isabel Bandeira
“In a perfect world, sixteen-year-old Phoebe Martins’ life would be a book. Preferably a YA novel with magic and a hot paranormal love interest.”
Summer of Supernovas by Darcy Woods
“As the daughter of an expert astrologer, Wilamena Carlisle knows that the truth lies within the stars.”
Liars and Losers Like Us by Ami Allen-Vath
“But when a cheating-love-triangle secret hits the fan after a night of sex, drinks, and video games, she’s left with new information about Sean and the class Pageant Queen.”
The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig
“Sixteen-year-old Nix has sailed across the globe and through centuries aboard her time-traveling father’s ship. But when he gambles with her very existence, it all may be about to end.”
Love & Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch
“But then Lina is given a journal that her mom had kept when she lived in Italy. Suddenly Lina’s uncovering a magical world of secret romances, art, and hidden bakeries.”
The Girl From Everywhere is one of my most anticipated books this year. I am so so so excited for it. I can’t even put into words how much I NEED this book in my life.
It looks awesome!!
Bookishly Ever After looks so cute! 🙂
Right?!
We have a couple in common this week. But you have so many I want to read! Bookishly Ever After has such a pretty cover and sounds really good. Also Summer of Sloane. Great list!!
Thank you 😀
I’ve read three titles from this list so far – The Love that Split the World, Blackhearts and Underwater – and they were all five star reads for me without a doubt!
I am SOOOO excited for Summer of Sloane!
YAY glad to hear!
Bookishly Ever After is on so many lists, it looks like a really fun read 🙂
I hope so!
Goodreads is seriously a lifesaver when it came to making these lists, though even then I would double check to make sure it was the author’s first book in general. It took so much time. 🙁
I am so interested in Firsts, The Love That Split The World, Underwater, Bookishly Ever After and The Girl From Everywhere. Bookishly Ever After and Underwater both made my list. 🙂
It really is! It took a while for me too haha.
Hi! Love and Gelato looks great. And it makes me hungry 🙂 Several of these are on my list or almost made my list.
My TTT

Haha me too!
Love & Gelato, Liars and Losers Like Us, Underwater, and Firsts sound like great contemporaries.
I’m also looking for Ever the Hunted, The Symptoms of Being Human, and Flashfall!
Ooooh I haven’t heard of those!
Awesome list! Several of yours were on my list as well. Love and Gelato looks so interesting! I am all about books set in Italy. Here is my top ten list: http://www.bookbinges.blogspot.com/2015/12/top-ten-tuesday-top-ten-2016-novels.html
Right?! GELATO.
Yessss The Love That Split The World is amazing! I am still deciding on whether I want to get a copy of it just to reread. And I am very excited for The Girl From Everywhere! I wish I had the time to read it now!
I’m curious about Bookishly Ever After! I wonder how the reviews will that turn out!
I know, I agree! I feel like it sounds great in theory but not sure how it will be executed.
