My Most Anticipated Releases of 2016

~Wrapping Up 2015: Most Anticipated Releases of 2016~

Hello! There is a huge spike in posts coming this upcoming week because we're wrapping up 2015! Here are my top 6 (7?) most anticipated releases of 2016!

Coming in at Number 6 (7?) we have The Trials of Apollo by Rick Riordan
Publishes: May 3, 2016

This new series by Rick Riordan sounds SO good. And I'm excited he's having another Greek mythology series (and hopefully Percy makes an appearance). 

Onto Number 5 (6?) is Magnus Chase and The Hammer Of Thor (Book 2 in the Gods of Asgard) by Rick Riordan. 

Publishes: October 4, 2016

I fell in love with Magnus Chase and am very excited to continue on in this trilogy (still sad it's not longer). Hoping that this one is even better than the first! 

Moving to Number 4 (5?) we have The Academy: Ghost Bird Book 10: First Kiss by C.L. Stone. 

Publishes: (Expected) April 2016.

No cover available

I haven't even finished The Healing Power of Sugar yet but the next book in the Ghost Bird series is still one of my most anticipated reads of 2016. I love love love this series to the moon and back. 

Next we have Number 3.2 (4?): Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: Illustrated by J.K. Rowling and Jim Kay.

Publishes: Unknown

No cover available

I fell in the love with Harry Potter when I was 6. And I fell in love with it all over again when the Sorcerer's Stone released this year. I am SOOO excited for these beautiful illustrated editions. I can hardly wait and will be preordering as soon as they're available to do so!

Coming in at Number 3.1 we have the one that is making these numbers all janky. I'm not sure if this counts, but it is the Throne of Glass coloring book!!!! When this was announced I screamed and am still in shock that it's actually happening. I'm going to have a bookish themed coloring book collection!

Publishes: September 6, 2016

No cover available

This is honestly one of the greatest things I've ever heard of! I am soo excited! And it releases the same day as the 5th book! Meaning I can read and color at the same time! I'll have to get 3, one for my friend and two for me (one to color and one to keep safe). Holy crap I'm super excited.

Next we have Number 2 with A Court of Mist and Fury by the astounding Sarah J. Maas.

Publishes: May 3, 2016

Holy shit holy shit! So excited! Especially because ACOTAR really really really made me laugh and cry and everything in between. I love this trilogy and am super duper excited to see what happens next (especially with Rhysand). I'm preparing myself for a lot of guyxguy testosterone pissing contests between Rhysand and Tamlin because of Feyre.

And rounding out at Number 1 we have Throne of Glass 5 (Title not yet released) by Sarah J. Maas. 

Publishes: September 6, 2016

(No cover yet so here's some bamtastic fan-art of Celaena)

It's safe to say I'm in love with this series. I have been in love with it since I picked up the first book and read it until I finished it (from approx. 9 at night to 2 in the morning). I finished the rest of the series within a month and I am super excited for whatever happens next. I just wished that I had either found it sooner or later (because I could have had the feels for longer or been able to read all of the books at once...). It's not a far cry to insanity. Love love love this book series. Favorite series of all time (and 2015) by my favorite author of all time Sarah J. Maas.

Thank you all for reading. Stay tuned for my next Wrapping Up 2015 posts!
