The Power of Poppy Pendle by Natalie Lowell. Wonderful fantasy in the vein of Harry Potter but much happier. Sort of like Ronald Dahl and JK Rowling, with really nice happy endings.

That sounds awesome! I’m looking forward to reading the Fantastic Beasts screenplay, and honestly am not looking forward to reading the Cursed Child screenplay.

I read a lot of good books this year, but one of my favorites was The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making!

I’ve heard that that’s such a great book, but I’ve never read it!

I read We Awaken by Calista Lynne and it was so, so good. Seriously, ace MCs? I cried.

I think I quite liked Magnus Chase and The Gods of Asgard: Sword of Summer. I think it released 2015, but I read it this year.

One of my favorites this year was Jurassic Park! Not only was it released 25 years ago, but it was a re-read. No worries about release date! 

I’m looking forward to finishing Everyday Sexism, it’s a fantastic read (in a painful sort of way) and I’m having a lot of fun annotating and drawing and stuff.

I think my favorite was probably the Lies of Locke Lamora this year :) I also discovered Nathaniel Philbrick's nonfiction work. In 2017 I'm planning on reading more of the books I already own -- I think I have close to 400 that I haven't read yet!

I read some of the reviews for Nathaniel Philbrick’s Why Read Moby-Dick? and it’s hilarious. I’m super not interested in Moby Dick but the reviews make it sound hilarious (at least, the book about reading it)

God I have so many unread books. So many sequels. I need to read sequels!

So many great books in 2016! Crime and Punishment, The Perfume, One Hundred Years of Solitude... In 2017 i'm looking forward to read more non-fiction and more local authors.

I haven’t read any of those books, although one of my friends tried to read Crime & Punishment. My favorite ‘classic’ book is probably either A Scarlet Letter or Frankenstein, for sure.

I’m so looking forward to reading more non-fiction books in 2017, I’ve expanded my little non-fiction shelf into what could probably be two or more but I’m excellent at stacking so it’s still one (I’m low on space, sigh.)

Best book I read in 2016: we are the ants by Shaun David Hutchinson! It had such a huge emotional impact on me! Most excited book of 2017: lord of shadows by Cassandra Clare or The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas!

Ohhhh, The Hate U Give looks absolutely fascinating, 100% going on my TBR pile. (I love doing this I get so many great books to add to my TBR pile that I’ll probably never read lol)

I absolutely loved All The Rage and I’m looking forward to reading Barbie and Ruth, a story about the creator of Barbie.

Best book I read in 2016: The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater. I am not a big YA reader, but this series just did everything for me. In 2017 I am most looking forward to reading Santa Olivia by Jacqueline Carey because who doesn't want to read about Latina lesbian werewolf?

Sign me up for Latina lesbian werewolves holy shit! I think I’ve kind of decided that I’m never going to read TRC because the mystery surrounding it and what I’ve built it up to be is better than anything it could actually be, y’know? 

I’m looking forward to reading He’s a Stud, She’s a Slut because I’m obsessed with social justice books now.

Best book of 2016: The Sidekicks by Will Kostakis. Book I'm looking forward to in 2017: The Comfort Zone - Sally Thorne :)

Sally Thorne looks like a cute writer!

I absolutely loved This Is Where It Ends and I have to stop myself from impulse buying it every time I see it at B&N, because I don’t need a copy on my shelf, I just want it. (I honestly don’t think I could read it again.) I’m looking forward to Etched in Bone so so much, I can’t get enough of this series.
