Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by the lovely people at The Broke and The Bookish that simultaneously includes lists and books rolled into one. (it's basically a wonderful creation in itself people, let's be honest) This week's prompt: Top Ten 2016 Debuts Novels We Are Looking Forward To. (I'm breaking the rules a little on this one guys. )
Top Ten 2016 Debut Novels We Are Looking Forward To
- On the Other Side - Carrie Fletcher
Release date: 14th July 2016
Evie Snow is
eighty-two when she quietly passes away in her sleep, surrounded by her
children and grandchildren. It's the way most people wish to leave the world
but when Evie reaches the door of her own private heaven, she finds that
she's become her twenty-seven-year-old self and the door won't open.
Evie's soul must be light enough to pass through so she needs to get rid of whatever is making her soul heavy. For Evie, this means unburdening herself of the three secrets that have weighed her down for over fifty years, so she must find a way to reveal them before it's too late. As Evie begins the journey of a lifetime, she learns more about life and love than she ever thought possible, and somehow , some way, she may also find her way back to her long lost love . . |
AHH CARRIE'S WRITING A FICTION BOOK! It sounds very chick-lit, and to be very honest, it's not a genre I'm familiar with. I'm hopeful (hah see what I did there) that I'm pleasantly surprised by this one.
- Heartless - Marissa Meyer
Release date: 8th November 2016
Long before she was the terror of Wonderland
— the infamous Queen of Hearts — she was just a girl who wanted to fall in
love.
Catherine may be one of the most desired girls in Wonderland, and a favorite of the yet-unmarried King of Hearts, but her interests lie elsewhere. A talented baker, all she wants is to open a shop with her best friend and supply the Kingdom of Hearts with delectable pastries and confections. But according to her mother, such a goal is unthinkable for the young woman who could be the next Queen. At a royal ball where Cath is expected to receive the king's marriage proposal, she meets Jest, the handsome and mysterious court joker. For the first time, she feels the pull of true attraction. At the risk of offending the King and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into an intense, secret courtship. Cath is determined to define her own destiny and fall in love on her terms. But in a land thriving with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans. |
The story about how The Queen of Hearts became The Queen of Hearts. Excuse me for a moment while I fangirl over how ingenious this idea is oh my god! But, I admit I'm a little iffy on the secret courtship- parents not approving- love triangle idea. I'm all for a tragic love story, but love triangles are always a little unsettling. Marissa Meyer rocks though guys, so lets trust her on this one.
- Glass Sword (Red Queen #2) - Victoria Aveyard
Release date: 9th February 2016
I can't post the synopsis for this one because it contains some major spoilers. But really, if you haven't read Red Queen we can't be friends. Red Queen is honestly one of the best reading surprises I had this year, and the release date for Glass Sword IS SO CLOSE GUYS LOOK FEBRUARY AHHHHH. <3 <3

- The Hammer of Thor (Magnus Chase and The Gods of Asgard #2) - Rick Riordan
Release date: 4th October 2016
I have a confession to make... I haven't read The Sword of Summer. I KNOW I KNOW. I like to think of Rick Riordan's books as my entire childhood, even if I first picked up The Lightning Thief when I was 11. I loved the Percy Jackson series so much, and I've heard that the narration style in Magnus Chase is quite similar so I'm just waiting to dissolve in a puddle of feels once I get my hands on this book.

- The Hidden Oracle (The Trials of Apollo #1) - Rick Riordan
Release date: 3rd May 2016
How do you punish a fangirl?
By writing a book about Apollo turning into a teenager, falling from the heavens, joining Camp Half-Blood and spending the rest of his days with Perceus Jackson.
Then only release that book six months from now.
*FLIPS TABLE*
I don't know about you, but the God I fangirled over the most in Percy Jackson was Apollo. When I heard about this book I guility thought: This sounds like fanfiction?? But let's be honest, I'm not complaining.
How do you punish an immortal?
By making him human. After angering his father Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. Weak and disorientated, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy. Now, without his godly powers, the four-thousand-year-old deity must learn to survive in the modern world until he can somehow find a way to regain Zeus's favour. But Apollo has many enemies - gods, monsters and mortals who would love to see the former Olympian permanently destroyed. Apollo needs help, and he can think of only one place to go . . . an enclave of modern demigods known as Camp Half-Blood. |

“Wow," Thalia muttered. "Apollo is hot."
"He's the sun god," I said.
"That's not what I meant.”
