Top 2016 Releases I Meant To Read But Didn’t Get 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.
Last year I yelled at myself for not getting to SO many books and I have to say… I totally did not succeed in even reading those 2015 releases in 2016. I read two out of those ten. Good lord, someone punch me. I need to get going on actually reading the books I get all jazzed up about. Hopefully I can manage that for 2017!

I didn’t get to The Season either but I placed it more prominently on my bookshelf when I re-organized over the weekend so hopefully I’ll pick it up soon! And Alexa keeps telling me I will love The Secret of a Heart Note so I’m going to have to get that one too. I saw on instagram that you finished reading it this morning so good job!!!
YES! It took me forever to read it but I’m glad I prioritized it early this year! I really ended up enjoying it a lot. The atmosphere of the book was so beautifully described.
Jumping in here to say that I still need to read The Season too!
I was so excited for it but haven’t made time! What else is new?!
Gah you have so many I forgot but want to read!! I have The Smell of Other People’s Houses paperback on preorder and I cannot wait for it. Holding Up the Universe, The Nest, All in Pieces and The Secret of Heart Note are all ones I would love to get to. I liked The Leaving Season and With Malice. Hope you get to these!
I just finished The Secret of a Heart Note and really enjoyed it!! I’m proud of myself for finishing before this post went up hahaa
Good luck! Holding Up the Universe is really cute. I hope you get to read it.
Thank you! I hope so too.
Haha i think almost all of these books are on my goodreads tbr and also ones I never actually got to! I did love the Smell of Other Peoples Houses. the setting was fantastic and would work great as a winter read 🙂 Great List!
Haha oh good to know!
Somehow I also haven’t read any of the books on your list! I definitely want to get to The Smell of Other People’s Houses and Secret of a Heart Note soon, though.
Secret of a Heart note was reallllly cute!!
It’s funny, I’ve only read one of the books on this list, so I guess I missed out on a ton of books as well XD Hope you read these and love them 🙂

Haha thank you!
With Malice and The Graces were not on my list this week, but they’re still books on my shelf that I need to read!
Yep I neeeeed to read them!
All goodies, well mostly. I was disappointed with, With Malice, but I hope you love these!
Thank you!
So many pretty covers! The Secret of a Heart Note is on my list too. Here’s my TTT.
I loved it!
Secret of a Heart Note and Leaving Season both made my list. I want to read them both.
I liked The Secret of a Heart Note! Finally got to it haha.
There are so many books on this list that are on my list too! A Week of Mondays, Dead Girls Society, With Malice. I have already read and loooved All in Pieces and The Secret of a Heart Note. Aerie was so much better than Magonia. I wasn’t personally a fan of How to Make Out or Holding Up the Universe but I hope you enjoyed them. Great list, and I hope you get to them this year.
Oooh interesting – I haven’t seen many reviews for Aerie yet. Good to know!
I saw that you already read THE SECRET OF A HEART NOTE, and I definitely need to commend you on making an excellent life choice 😉 I loved that book so much! Also, you should definitely read THE CHOICES WE MAKE. It’s such a great adult contemporary with such an interesting subject matter!
