Top Ten Most Anticipated Releases For The First Half of 2016

I was on vacation last week and didn't get to post this, and since I am terrible at resolutions, I am going back and posting this list.  I love that the list gets split between the first and second half of the year.  I agree with the logic, the books that come out later in the year just don't get the love.  Here are the books that I am most anticipating that will be published between January 1st through June 30th.

The Rose and the Dagger (The Wrath and the Dawn #2) by Renee Ahdieh

 Expected publication: May 3rd 2016 by Putnam Juvenile

The first book in this series was my favorite of last year, so it stands to reason, this is my most anticipated book this year.  I want a copy of it NOW.

Inferno (Blood for Blood #2) by Catherine Doyle

 Expected publication: January 7th 2016 by Chicken House

I liked the first book in this series, so I am looking forward to the second. Full disclose, I will probably have to go refresh my memory on the first book, but the Romeo and Juliette factor of this series has me intrigued. 

The Last Boy and Girl in the World by Siobhan Vivian

Expected publication: April 26th 2016 by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers

Siobhan Vivian, wrote one of my all time favorite books, so I will always eagerly anticipate any future books she writes.

When We Collided by Emery Lord

Expected publication: April 5th 2016 by Bloomsbury USA Childrens

Emery Lord is becoming one of my go-to authors when I want an awesome contemporary read.  All her books are just so well done. 

Lady Renegades (Rebel Belle #3) by Rachel Hawkins

Expected publication: April 12th 2016 by G.P. Putnam's Sons Books for Young Readers

I can't wait to find out how this final book in the series turns out.  I've really enjoyed this series so far. Between the kick butt heroine, the paranormal element, and the humor that are a trademark f Rachel Hawkins' books, this one is a must read.

The Crown (The Selection #5) by Kiera Cass

 Expected publication: May 3rd 2016 by HarperTeen

My love/hate relationship with this series will continue as I read this next (final?) installment in the series. If the series does last much longer, we may have to break up though.

The Glittering Court (The Glittering Court #1) by Richelle Mead

 Expected publication: April 5th 2016 by Razorbill

I love Richelle Mead, so this book is a must read for me. This may also be one of my favorite covers of any of her YA books, so that always helps.

Highly Illogical Behavior by John Corey Whaley

Expected publication: May 10th 2016 by Dial Books

I finally read a JCW book this past year, and it was pretty awesome. That means this book becomes one of the most anticipated books for me.

Glass Sword (Red Queen #2) by Victoria Aveyard

Expected publication: February 9th 2016 by HarperTeen

I read the first book in the series pretty late in the year, pretty much when I saw it popping up on so many people best books of 2015 lists.  I can't wait to read where the story goes next.

Remembrance (The Mediator #7) by Meg Cabot

Expected publication: February 2nd 2016 by William Morrow

The lone adult book on my list. But really it's kind of a fake adult book since it continues a YA series. Either way I can't wait to see what these characters are up to.
