Best book and/or series that you’ve read in 2016
I am sure many people are going to be mentioning ACOMAF, but I had to include it because it blew me away. Crooked Kingdom and The Midnight Star were great finales this year and deserve so much recognition.
Best Series:
Definitely The Young Elites by Marie Lu, Shades of Magic by VE Schwab, Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo,ILady Midnight by Cassandra Clare, lluminae Files by Amie Kaugman and Jay Kristoff were some of my absolute favorites
.
Authors that You’ve recently found and would love to read more from:
- Victora Schwab – Shades of Magic. I really wanted to start reading her Archived series. This Savage Song was another great book tat I read from her this year.
- Roshani Chokshi – The Star-Touched Queen. Though it wasn’t my favorite book of this year and was a bit disappointing when I found out it was a standalone, Chokshi’s writing captivated me.
- Tarryn Fisher – F*ck Love. I really enjoyed this book and found it a bit addicting. I need to read more books by her because she seems like an awesome person too.
- Adam Silvera – More Happy than Not. Oh my god this book was absolutely fantastic. History is All You Left Me is one of my most anticipated of 2017 now. I need more of Adam’s books!
Most anticipated book turned movie/tv show?
I am not really a fan of book adaptations because more likely than not, I am always disappointed. So I like to envision my favorite books in my head just the way I love them.
Although I am interested in seeing what they did with Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon and Ready Player One.

What’s on your TBR for 2017? (Top 5 will suffice if it’s an extremely long list!)
these are just a few because I am constantly adding books, but I do want to read more diverse books too in 2017. Also, I know Crystal Storm is out already but my book is on the way, so by the time I can read it it will be 2017 anyway. 😉
How many books do you hope to read in 2017?
I am not too sure yet, but I will say about 60. I don’t want to set a too high goal because I will stress myself out. I read over 100 books this year so I am satisfied. If I don’t read that next year, it’s not the end of the world. 🙂
Will you participate in the Goodreads Reading Challenge or any others (PopSugar, Read the Books You Buy, etc.)
Absolutely. the Goodreads challenge is the only challenge I am faithful to complete. I don’t do too well with readathons or other challenges because I tend to get distracted or want to read whatever I want so I can’t stick to anything but the Goodreads goal. Oops.
Any New Year’s Resolutions? (Bookish, blogging, and otherwise)
Read more diversely. Also, blog more. I definitely didn’t blog much this year and I am ashamed of myself. 😦
Don’t be ashamed for not blogging more! Life happens.
Do you know how many books will be in the Dark Artifices? I’m just starting The Mortal Instruments and I’ve read The Infernal Devices but I hate starting a series that isn’t complete lol I don’t have the patience!

I think it’s supposed to be 3! I know she has least 3 more series planned after Dark Artifices. So many many more books! 😬

Three more series?!!? I only knew about one, I think it’s called the Last Hours (or something like that). I need her to slow down on the new stuff!

Yes! There’s the Last Hours and one called something like Wicked Powers?? Then there’s that adult Magnus Bane series she’s planning. That’s all I know? Haha
But same here! I don’t remember signing up for this when I picked up TMI 😂 I love getting new books but so overwhelming!

OMG Is Wicked Powers connected like all the others ones are?

Yes, it’s going to take place some time after The Dark Artifices and it’s supposed to be the finale trilogy! 😧

Hmmm….. okay. I’m kind of glad it’s the finale because I haven’t even finished City of Bones and knowing that she plans to write even more stresses me out lol. I kind of wish they had been written in chronological order though

Haha yeah, I’m all caught up because I’ve been reading them forever but even I’m still stressed about the new books!

Great Answers! I haven’t read ADSOM yet but I”m really looking forward to read it in 2017. I can’t wait to read Flame In the mist! The cover looks so gorgeous! 😀

Thanks Raven! Oh gosh ADSOM is so great. It’s what really got me into Victoria’s writing. Also I can’t wait for Flame in the Mist too! Renee Ahdieh is a new favorite author and I love her retelling from TWATD so I know this will be great too! 😍
