I must confess that I don't really know much about the upcoming books being released in 2017. I only know about the sequels of the books I really enjoyed reading in 2016 and the new books/series some of my favorite authors are putting out in the coming year. Given this, my list won't be much. No doubt as the new year goes on, I will be able to learn more about the 2017 book releases as their publication date draws nearer and I can't wait to be able to know them and read those that catch my interest. Until then however, these are the books that I am terribly excited about and would absolutely get the first day they are on sale.
1. A Court of Wings and Ruin ( A Court of Thorns and Roses # 3) by Sarah J. Maas

You guys have no idea how anxious and excited I am for A Court of Wings and Ruin. A Court of Mist and Fury was simply a phenomenal book and it's ending just left all of us hanging, desperate to know what happens next. So of course I am looking forward to the third and final book of this amazing series and there is absolutely no world wherein I don't know how Feyre's story ends.
2. Untitled (Throne of Glass # 6) by Sarah J. Maas
I can't share any photo right now on the final installment of the Throne of Glass series because Bloomsbury hasn't released any teaser photos of it but nonetheless it's still on the list.
I, along with millions of fans around the world, am desperate to know the title of this book, how much more desperate can we be with the actual book? Empire of Storms ended very grimly and I just really want to know how our heroes will be able to overcome the millions of problems they have to face.....if they even succeed. IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY TO THINK ABOUT ALL THE POSSIBILITIES. I'm just praying Sarah J. Maas will have mercy on us and won't cause THAT much damage.
3. The Dark Prophecy (Trials of Apollo # 2) by Rick Riordan

I absolutely love anything Percy Jackson and if you read my The Hidden Oracle Review, then you would know that I viewed it as a great and refreshing introduction to the Trials of Apollo series. I am itching to continue reading more about Apollo's journey back to godhood with the help of characters we have grown to know and love from the previous books. The stakes are high, and they're running out of time. I need to see how they all deal with this and of course how Apollo's character will develop even more compared to the last one. No doubt, this will be another enjoyable ride.
4. The Ship of The Dead (Magnus Chase and The Gods of Asgard # 3) by Rick Riordan

It seems only yesterday we were getting the announcement that Rick Riordan was writing a new series inspired by Norse Mythology....now it's coming to a close.
I really enjoyed myself reading both Sword of Summer and Hammer of Thor (the latter being the best out of the two in my opinion) and I have no doubt I will enjoy myself just as much, if not more, with The Ship of The Dead. Those first two books have been leading up to the events of this final novel and I can't wait to see how everything plays out. The problem of Ragnarok starting feels much more real going in to this book because of the events of Hammer of Thor. How our heroes will get out of this one, I don't know but I have so much faith in this book that it will deliver. It's Rick Riordan after all.
5. Wonder Woman: Warbringer by Leigh Bardugo

I love superheroes. I love DC Comics. I love Wonder Woman. I love Leigh Bardugo.
When I heard that DC hired Leigh Bardugo to write a YA novel about Wonder Woman, one of my favorite superheroes of all time, I was ecstatic. Leigh Bardugo is one of the best YA authors living and if you don't believe me, just read Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom (SPOILER ALERT: They are absolutely incredible). The woman has got some serious skill in writing and world-building. What better way to introduce Wonder Woman, the most famous and revered female superhero, to the YA audience than through here? I am absolutely confident that she will bring us a bad-ass, heartfelt, and awesome coming-of-age story about Diana that I and a lot of readers will enjoy.
6. King's Cage (Red Queen # 3) by Victoria Aveyard

If that image of a crown made out of bones and that ominous tag line doesn't make you nervous for what will happen in King's Cage I don't know what will.
Glass Sword's ending pretty much ripped the rug from under my feet. It's another shocking and painful ending from Victoria Aveyard that left readers everywhere reeling. I desperately want to know what happens to Mare now that she is in this horrible situation. I need to see her sane and safe. SOMEBODY SAVE HER! Cal? Kilorn? Farley? ANYONE? I honestly don't know what will happen in the third installment of the Red Queen series. I just hope we won't be left standing in shock by the end of it although I'm quite sure we will....let's just prepare ourselves, shall we?
7. History Is All You Left Me by Adam Silvera

The interesting and captivating premise and cover as well as Adam Silvera's credibility are the reasons why History Is All You Left Me is in this list. I was completely hooked once I read the premise. I immediately wanted to read it. I have yet to read Silvera's debut novel, More Happy Than Not but I do have a copy of it already and I have heard numerous people say it was incredible. I honestly can't wait to see and experience Adam Silvera's work myself. I have the utmost confidence that I will enjoy and love it. Thankfully I won't have to wait much longer to get my hands on History Is All You Left Me. It will be published in a few weeks. I am curious to see how his second novel will play out.
Like I said, this was a very short list but I do hope it will expand soon. I am not a very picky reader. I don't keep to specific genres and standards when I buy and read books. I like to keep my options open because in that way, I get to discover spectacular books. There are numerous books coming out in 2017 with great potential just waiting for readers to give them a chance and I intend to seek them out.
And on that note, Lyka Cali and I's Fuck 2016 bookish marathon is now officially over.
Thank you so much for letting us end 2016 with a bang with posts about books. It was a really fun and thrilling thing for me to do and I am sure Lyka feels the same way. Feel free to let us know if you'd like us to do more collaborations in the future in the comments below!
It's hard to believe that tomorrow, 2017 will officially start. The previous new year doesn't feel too long ago and yet it has and it's time to start over. I don't know what will happen in 2017, no one does. All we really can do is hope for the best and try to succeed. If books taught me anything, it's that anything is possible. The unexpected can always happen. We don't what's going to go down, yes, but we can at least be prepared. Plot twists are exciting to read about but when it happens to you, it's less than pleasant. Let's start the year right. Let's make 2017 worthwhile. God knows we don't need another 2016.
