This week’s Top Ten Tuesday theme is all about the books upcoming in the first half of 2017. While I’m not always on the ball about this stuff, there are a surprising number of books I’m actually aware of. Here goes…
- City of Miracles, by Robert Jackson Bennett. This is a sequel to City of Stairs and City of Blades and I need it, I need it now.
- Strange the Dreamer, by Laini Taylor. I don’t need to know much about this. I love Laini Taylor’s prose just to begin with!
- Our Dark Duet, by Victoria Schwab. I loved This Savage Song, sooo I’m pretty confident I’m gonna be happy about this one.
- Down Among the Sticks and Bones, by Seanan McGuire. This is a companion/prequel to Every Heart A Doorway, and I’m definitely excited to see what it does with the characters.
- Thick As Thieves, by Megan Whalen Turner. I was so excited when I spotted this! I recently reread the other books, too, so I’m aaaall ready for this one.
- Norse Mythology, by Neil Gaiman. Between Gaiman’s skill as a writer and my interest in Norse mythology, this book is bound to be awesome.
- Frogkisser, by Garth Nix. Only just found out about this one, but it’s Garth Nix — I’ll read it eventually.
- A Conjuring of Light, by V.E. Schwab. Okay, I actually need to read the second book first, but still…
- The Upside of Unrequited, by Becky Albertalli. I enjoyed Albertalli’s other book, so this one should be fun.
- Traitor to the Throne, by Alwyn Hamilton. The first book didn’t totally knock my socks off the way it did for some people, but it was still a lot of fun. I’m looking forward to seeing where it goes.
Aaargh, just gimme them already.
Anything else I should have thought of?
I’m never aware of new books coming out other than those in series I’m reading ie Mercy Thompson, so I get most of my new release info by checking out other blogs! I rarely buy a new release unless it comes out in paperback straight away. I never buy hardbacks-too expensive and too much shelf space!

I’ve always found that in the past, and now I tend to find out via other people adding them on Goodreads or seeing lists about anticipated books for the next year. I always used to like ’em sneaking up on me — suddenly, an awesome new book!
I’m doing my annual Most Anticipated list tomorrow – City of Miracles is definitely on there

I neeeed it…
Oo, thanks for bringing Frogkisser! to my attention, it sounds lovely. I’m looking forward to The Upside of Unrequited, too.

They both sound like such fun, don’t they?
I thought I’d struggle to find 10, but this year I seem to have lots to look forward to! I reaaaaaaally must get round to Robert J Bennett.
I usually struggle, but I got the first 8 easily without even needing to think. Blogging does seem to be ensuring I know what’s coming up better than I used to.
I want City of Miracles so badly it hurts!
Yessss, same.
