Top Ten Tuesday: Ten 2016 Releases I Missed

Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, and your Monday didn’t completely you kick in the butt. Maybe it’s the meditation or the fact that I don’t start work until later in the day, but I usually find that a case of the Mondays isn’t something a nice cup of coffee, tea, or wine can’t fix. 😉

Anywho, today is Tuesday which means that it’s time for Top Ten Tuesday. This is a meme created by the lovely ladies over at The Broke and the Bookish. Each week we’re tasked with compiling a list of ten items based around the topic for the week. This week’s topic: Top Ten 2016 Releases I Meant To Read But Didn’t Get To (But TOTALLY plan to).

Unsurprisingly, this one was easy for me thanks to the Great Slump of 2016, which caused me to miss out on a lot of great books simply because I didn’t feel like reading them.

I linked each title to Goodreads in the off chance that you haven’t head of any of these books.

Catherine may be one of the most desired girls in Wonderland, and a favorite of the yet-unmarried King of Hearts, but her interests lie elsewhere. A talented baker, all she wants is to open a shop with her best friend and supply the Kingdom of Hearts with delectable pastries and confections. But according to her mother, such a goal is unthinkable for the young woman who could be the next Queen. At a royal ball where Cath is expected to receive the king's marriage proposal, she meets Jest, the handsome and mysterious court joker. For the first time, she feels the pull of true attraction. At the risk of offending the King and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into an intense, secret courtship. Cath is determined to define her own destiny and fall in love on her terms. But in a land thriving with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans.
A Torch Against the Night takes readers into the heart of the Empire as Laia and Elias fight their way north to liberate Laia’s brother from the horrors of Kauf Prison. Hunted by Empire soldiers, manipulated by the Commandant, and haunted by their pasts, Laia and Elias must outfox their enemies and confront the treacherousness of their own hearts. In the city of Serra, Helene Aquilla finds herself bound to the will of the Empire’s twisted new leader, Marcus. When her loyalty is questioned, Helene finds herself taking on a mission to prove herself—a mission that might destroy her, instead.

And last, but most certainly not least (but much to my chagrin):

Empire of Storms

That’s it! The sad part is that I owned most, if not all of these books. So that wasn’t the issue, however I feel motivated to keep reading, so I’m sure I’ll be getting through these books in no time. 😀

    I read Heartless and AGOS and quite enjoyed both. I can’t wait for A Conjuring of Light to come out next month! Hope you’re able to get to all of these soon(ish) and enjoy them 🙂

      That’s how I feel about Sarah J. Maas. 😂😂 I’m totally willing to give AGOS another try now that I’m out of my slump. I hope I like all of them too! They all sound so good. 😀

    Crooked Kingdom was an amazing ending to the duology. The intricacy of the plot was phenomenal and the character dynamics were so insightful and complex. I hope you get the chance to read it soon. 😀
