Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is Top Ten Books I’m Looking Forward To For The First Half Of 2017.

In no particular order, here are the books I can’t wait to read during the next six months:

1) The Sleepwalker by Chris Bohjalian: This author’s books never disappoint!

2) Silence Fallen by Patricia Briggs: It’s Mercy! The Mercy Thompson series is one of my favorite things ever. Simply cannot wait for the newest installment.

3) The Mother’s Promise by Sally Hepworth: Her previous novel, The Things We Keep (review) was heartbreaking and beautiful. I’m really looking forward to her newest.

4) Dusk or Dark or Dawn or Day by Seanan McGuire: Even the title of this novella gives me the chills.

5) A Perilous Undertaking by Deanna Raybourn: The 2nd Veronica Speedwell mystery! I really enjoyed the first (review), and I’m delighted to have won this one in a Goodreads giveaway.

6) The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid: Wow, can this author write a love story! This new book seems like it’ll be very different from her previous works, and sounds amazing.

7) Martians Abroad by Carrie Vaughn: Who doesn’t love a good Martian adventure? I’ve really enjoyed the pieces I’ve read so far by this author, and this book’s synopsis sounds right up my alley.

8) The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden: I love the sound of this Russian-flavored fairy tale.

9) Almost Missed You by Jessica Strawser: Something about the description of this contemporary mystery really grabbed my attention.

10) Seven Stones to Stand or Fall by Diana Gabaldon: It goes without saying — last but not least! I can’t wait for this story collection, even though I’ve already read five of the seven stories. If it takes place within the Outlander-verse, I want it.

    • Ha, it’s funny that you think I’m organized! 🙂 Just because they’re on my list doesn’t necessarily mean that I’ll end up reading them within the next six months… but at least I’m trying!

  1. hahaha Of course the Outlander collection is on your list. 🙂 I’ve got a few of these on my list too and a few more I need to check out!
