Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted at the Broke and the Bookish blog. Each week a different topic is introduced and it is fun to see what everyone writes each week. Check out their blog for more information.
This week I’m talking about the 2016 releases I meant to read, but somehow didn’t. The interesting thing is that I have copies of all these books, but lost track of them. I plan to read them this year.

What books did you mean to read in 2016–but didn’t quite get to?
The only book on the list I read was Den of Wolves, and a good number of those were ones I wanted to read. SO I did not much better.

I guess it’s lucky that there are always books we haven’t read that we want to read.

I’ve only read Rebel of the Sands so far but several of these will work for the Flights of Fantasy Challenge I’m participating in. This is great list.

I read Rebel of the Sands and really enjoyed it, which was surprising as it’s YA fantasy, not my go-to genre. I liked the setting very much and would read further. I’m adding two of your books to my wish-list now.

I’m the same with with all your mysteries! There are just so many great ones out there and I want to read them all! I’m adding Arabella of Mars to my TBR too. I’ve been wanting to try steampunk and that one looks really good.
