*I sorted this via release date
**Krista and Becca just said Infini will be released next month with no specific date yet BUT this is my most anticipated so it's my number 1
— January 2017
- best friends to lovers trope! (I'm forever a sucker for this)
- female MC is is a WOC (she's Jamaican-American)
- male MC is a kleptomaniac (Luka is a precious cinnamon roll)
- strong!! family!! relationship!! (I'm forever weak in this department)
- Krista and Becca are two of my all-time favorite and trusted authors and not one book of theirs has let me down yet
— January 31, 2017
- protagonist wants to see Caraval, a show where the audience could participate
- her sister helped her escape so she could see the said show
- unfortunately, her sister got kidnapped as part of Caraval's game
- and if said sister is found, then whoever found her is the winner
- lots of magic
- sisterhood (like I said in Infini above, I'm weak for this kind of stuff)
— February 07, 2017
- I was too late to get an ARC for this so... *cries*
- it's a Labyrinth retelling
- protagonist loves writing songs and the Goblin King is her muse
- "a life for a life", protagonist agrees to marry the Goblin King in exchange for her sister's freedom

- IMPORTANT
- protagonist's best friend was shot to death by a police officer
- inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement
- serious issues that's happening in society will be tackled for sure

- this is actually optioned for a movie already though?
— February 28, 2017
- sequel to The Girl from Everywhere
- we got pirates here
- and we also got time-traveling
- I hope my ship sails... (not talking about the one you ride on the water)
- I was happy to know that there's a sequel because the first book's ending left me with some questions
— March 07, 2017
- sequel to Rebels of the Sand
- the first book was really, really promising
- we got magic, legends, prince, princesses, and Djinnis
- the cute romance in the first book had me wanting more
- lots of interesting characters that possess their own power

- there's that "who to trust" thing
— April 04, 2017
- when Jenny Han dropped the cake picture on twitter, I almost cried

- protagonist is ambushed but escaped
- she dresses up as a boy to learn about the people who wanted to kill her
- a mash-up of Mulan and 47 Ronin
- if there's romance, I wonder if it's gonna be an enemies-to-lovers trope
— May 30, 2017
- two Indian-Americans and an arranged marriage
- male MC is a hopeless romantic
- female MC is not and just wants a break from her family

— May 30, 2017
- female MC is a NBSB (No Boyfriend Since Birth)
- sucks at romance and can't flirt to save her life
- starts watching Korean dramas in hopes to learn about the romance

Great list! I'm super excited for Caraval and Traitor To The Throne as well!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
Rebel of the Sands was so good! I hope Traitor to the Throne is just as good or even better!
DeleteOooh, I love your list SO MUCH. And I've already added so many of these! I'm sooo looking forward to Flame in the Mist because RENEE AHDIEH IS QUEEN. And I haven't read the second To All the Boys book yet but it's on my TBR and I'm already super excited for the next book. The first book was so so cute omg. And yesssss to Caraval!!
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT!
To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a lot better than P.S. I Still Love You which was why I was very, very happy when Jenny Han announced there's going to be a third book. AND YES, RENEE AHDIEH IS QUEEN! I trust her in this, the blurb already sounds so interesting!! I feel like a lot of us are excited for Caraval haha!
DeleteI've seen Caraval on lots of blogs this morning! Thanks for sharing these.
ReplyDeleteHere's my Top Ten!
Me too! The plot's pretty interesting^^
DeleteOh, so many great looking books. I've already got most of these on my own listless - traitor to the throne and Flame in the mist look particularly good :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteA couple of these are on my list today as well. DIMPLE sounds super cute. So does I BELIEVE IN A THING CALLED LOVE. So many great-sounding books coming out this year!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
This is such a great list, and I'm really looking forward to a lot of these books! I've already pre-ordered The Ship Beyond Time, and I really want my ship to sail too ;)
ReplyDeleteCaraval, Traitor To The Throne and Flame In The Mist were all on my list this week too!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2016/12/13/top-ten-tuesday-87/
I'll definitely be reading I Believe in a Thing Called Love and the new Lara Jean book!! Carnaval is also on my Maybe List. It's not my usual genre, but I've heard so many good things, I feel tempted to try it :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent list! I'm really looking forward to The Hate U Give and Caraval too.
ReplyDeleteFabulous list!!! I'm so excited for the new Lara Jean book and I Believe in a Thing Called Love!!! As well as all the fantasy :D
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to The Hate U Give and Traitor to the Throne, but they didn't quite make my list. I NEED more of the Song Sisters in my life with Always and Forever, Lara Jean! Lara Jean kind of annoys me, but the relationship between the sisters is one of my favorite things ever <3
ReplyDeleteThere's just so many interesting books to be released next year and it's hard to choose on what's going to be on the list haha #thestruggle I wasn't a big fan of her in book two.... then again, book two didn't really top the first book so I hope things will be good in the final installment!
DeleteAll of these sound like interesting reads, especially The Hate U Give! I hope you enjoy these books!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Top Ten Tuesday!
