This week’s theme is “2016 releases I meant to read and didn’t get round to”. I didn’t think I’d manage this, but then I had a look at my list, and… ah. Right.
- Revenger, by Alastair Reynolds. I need to apologise to my sister. All the excitement, and I never got round to this one…
- Ghost Talkers, by Mary Robinette Kowal. I’d been anticipating this since it was announced, and yet. Still love that cover so much, too.
- Necessity, by Jo Walton. I’m just hiding my face in shame here, guys.
- Children of Earth and Sky, by Guy Gavriel Kay. I even had an ARC. But nope.
- Double Down, by Gwenda Bond. I loved the first book. Why haven’t I picked this up yet? Whyyy?
- A Gathering of Shadows, by V.E. Schwab. I think I need to reread the first book, first. Oh no, etc.
- Magic Binds, by Ilona Andrews. Again, I even had the ARC. Whyyy, self.
- Red Right Hand, by Chris Holm. I feel bad about this, because I promised a review, but it got caught up in being busy with my wedding.
- Ninefox Gambit, by Yoon Ha Lee. The author is my mother’s penpal and even sent a signed review copy. I’m a bad person.
- Too Like the Lightning, by Ada Palmer. I’m sorry, okay?
Gah. Now I feel bad.
On the other hand, that means I still have some awesome books in my future.
I feel your pain…I’m right up there with you! I had so many I wanted to get to last year and didn’t but with tbrs the size of hours, we can’t get everything done. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it!

It’s a very good excuse!
If it helps, I’ve still got The Just City on my shelf unread… and I’m only just reading A Darker Shade of Magic (poor you, having to put yourself through that again, eh?)
I somehow missed Too Like the Lightning completely, so consider me ashamed. And yes, I’m feeling mildly guilty that I like the sound of the story but I also *really* like that font…
Yeah, but Jo is my friend! And I’ve met Ada too. So… yeah. I am bad.
I want to make time to read Chris Holm’s Red Right Hand and Ninefox Gambit as well! And that’s great she sent you a signed copy! I’m sure you’ll get to it eventually (its impossible to keep up)

It really is, but I’m especially terrible at it…
I badly want to read Revenger! As far as I know it hasn’t been released in the US yet though, so for that one I guess I’m “anticipating” rather than “catching up” 🙂
Huh, weird. It’s been out for quite a while here! I’d assumed you guys would have it too.
