Hello! My name is Chie. I am likely to be the girl you'll see whose eyes would bulge out of their sockets at the sight of a book store and be seized by waves of epileptic shock whenever there is a book bargain. I'll probably be the one pushing you out of my way to get through the book bargain bins and tediously combing through the pile. (I forget my manners when it comes to books). I am tone deaf and have two left feet. But I would endure the embarrassment of a performance in exchange for books (terms and conditions apply). I have created this blog in order to find kindred souls. Those who would gladly share the same passion for books and reading because although reading is solitary task most of the time, it's no fun having no one to ramble to after..
So here we are again, another year have passed us by. 2016 is gonna be a year that is filled again of anticipated books and growing TBR. So without further a do, here's the list of my most anticipated books of 2016.
Forever Doon by Carey Corp and Lorie Langdon
Release Date: August 2, 2016
It made me have this unputdownable wanderlust to Scotland, I fell in love with the magical kingdom of Doon and the characters, especially the MacCrea brothers.
Also if you've already read Shades of Doon, you know why I am so eager to have this beautiful book in my hands. Because if you've read the last book, that cliffhanger made me want to reap my hair out of my head.
The Trials of Apollo: The Hidden Oracle by Rick Riordan
Release Date: May 3, 2016
Okay. Who would say no to this? Rick Riordan is one of my author buy books. Together with growing up with J.K. Rowling's books, shaping your book loving persona, I also have Uncle Rick to shape mine. I grew up with his characters by my side. Plus we're gonna be having Percy in this book, if that doesn't made it more exciting I don't know will. So yeah I am so looking forward in this book. Apollo is gonna be a teenage boy, and Percy is gonna be like in his 20's in this book. The excerpt had us crazy for the book. I can't wait to have it in my hands.
Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard: The Hammer of Thor by Rick Riordan
Release Date: October 4, 2016
Remember what I said earlier that Uncle Rick is one of my automatically buy authors? Yeah I am so excited for this second book of Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard. The first book is such a fun and amazing read. We met the ever sassy and witty Magnus, we get to see glimpses of Annabeth in the book too. I am just looking forward to reading this book and hang around with Magnus more and maybe we'll see our dear old Camp Half-Blood friends in this book too. And I love Magnus, he's such a fun dude. No official cover for this book just yet.
Demigods and Magicians by Rick Riordan
Release Date: April 5, 2016
This is going to be awesome! Rick Riordan does that just makes your insides go squishy and you can't help but be excited for months for his book releases. There aren't many authors that are on my auto-buy list but let's just say.. HELLS YEAH! RICK RIORDAN IS ON THAT LIST! Something would have to be MAJORLY wrong with me, to not immediately buy his book. This is even better than a Futurama/Simpsons crossover.
Uncle Rick has done it again.
Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard
Release Date: February 9, 2016
Red Queen was such such a blast to begin with. I am looking forward on seeing more of the Scarlet Guard, and Shade and Cal and Mare and of course, Maven. The first book had been mind blowing and feels shattering that I was in a cry fest when I am done. And if you see that tag line: "Kneel or Bleed", well I thin I should start get freaking nervous.
Soldier by Julie Kagawa
Release Date: April 26, 2016
I am currently loving Julie Kagawa's works. Soldier is the third book. The feels are totally hitting me like tidal waves and every time there's a climatic scene in her books I am just freaking the hell out. There better be more Ember and Riley scenes in this book. Like really, I wasn't done reading yet, and "if" Riley die on Rogue I don't know if I'll be able to go on.
The Winner's Kiss by: Marie Rutkoski
Release Date: March 29, 2016
I loved The Winner's Curse and The Winner's Crime. This is the final one and WAR. I love the politics in this book series. The world building is A++mazing and the characters are really remarkable and clever. I am just so excited for this book and what gonna become of Kestrel and Arin. There rumours that they changed the cover design and I am not liking it. The original covers are so fab why change it? My OCD shelf is growing inside. Please keep those amazing covers. No need to change it.
The Beauty of Darkness by Mary E. Pearson
Release Date: August 2, 2016
The third and final book of Mary E. Pearson's The Remnant Chronicles. The first book has been mind blowing and drove the fans over the edge. The second book was kind of okay in comparison to the first book. But hey it's a middle of the book, it's a bridge between the first and last book, and it usually does, Fans are so looking forward on what gonna happen to this crazy love triangle too.
The Dark Artifices: Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare
Release Date: March 8, 2016
Another book in the Shadowhunter universe. There's no stopping Cassie Clare on revealing all the secrets of the amazing Shadow World to us. Just so you know Cassandra Clare is one of my auto-buy book authors. She wrote that, I am gonna buy it. Especially if it involves the Shadow World in it. I am so excited to meet Emma Carstairs and Julian Blackthorn and some appearances of our all time loved characters of the past. Shadowhunter books. I am just so excited to read this, my feels about this book is all over the place.
Starflight by Melissa Landers
Released Date: February 2, 2016
I loved Melissa Landers;s Alienated series and I am just so excited to read her works. Starlight is also gonna be a series and I need to have it. I love her amazing galactic imagination and her amazing writing and fun scenes. At some point I think it's gonna remind me of something Star Wars-y and I am gonna love it for sure.
United by Melissa Landers
Release Date: August 2, 2016
Another book from her Alienated universe. Yay. More Aelyx and Cara. I am just so fashing (see what I did there?) excited for this book to come out because if you've read invaded, the second of the series, you know it's not really the end even though the characters seemed fine with their happy ending. We know that there is more to the world that "that" and we've barely scratch the surface of the said invasion. So I am just so happy that we're gonna be having a third book in the Alienated series. The cover is yet to come.
A Torch Against The Night by Sabaa Tahir
Release Date: August 2, 2016
An Ember in the Ashes has been a mega amazing book. It was said to be a stand alone but the uproar from the readers who have finished reading the book have made the book two a possibility. I wonder if there's gonna be a Helene and Keenan, Such an amazing series.
Heartless by Marissa Meyer
Release Date: November 8, 2016
I love Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles, especially Winter. Such a great way to wrap up an epic series. I love her fairy tale re-telling style, it felt so Star Wars-y (again) to which it made mega amazing.
The Fever Code by James Dashner
Release Date: September 27, 2016
Finally a prequel that is related to the series' characters to where I could finally get the answers I am waiting for. Now I don't care if this takes two years or even ten years to be published. I just need my closure and I don't mean just some half-baked story, unanswered questions and forced explanations. It have to be something that would leave me saying "It sure was worth the wait". I won't expect much though, I might be left disappointed again but crossed-fingers.
So that is all. For all the books that I am anticipating this year.
