In about seven hours the new year will ring in, and a new year of reading will be born. My 2015 to-read list consisted of about eighty books, of which I read about half. I was disappointed with my inability to read all of those eighty books, so for the new year I committed myself to cutting down on my to-read list. Friends, it’s still too long–and my to-read list will always be too long. So in an effort to not overwhelm you (and me) with a plethora of titles to look over, this post will house the books to be published in 2016 that I am most excited about. Like, jump up-and-down, wait outside in the pouring rain for the store to open excitement. No doubt I will find more books to add the list as the year progresses (I am a bibliophile, after all!), but here are books I sincerely hope you will consider reading because the authors–and their stories–are truly fabulous.
Happy New Year and happy reading!
