Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten 2016 Debut Novels I’m Looking Forwards To

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week there is a new topic for bloggers to choose and list their top ten. This week’s theme is Top Ten 2016 Debut Novels I’m Looking Forwards To.

I admit I cheated a little this week; I couldn’t come up with ten debut novels that I wanted to read in 2016. So instead I came up with the a list of the first books of debut series that I am looking forwards to starting by some of my favourite authors and some new-to-me authors.

Passenger by Alexandra Bracken
Release Date: 5^th January 2016

How amazing does the blurb sound – ‘a perilous journey across centuries and continents’. Passenger sounds like the kind of book I’d love and Alexandra Bracken is a favourite author of mine so all in all a winning combination.

---

Thief of Lies by Brenda Drake
Release Date: 5^th January 2016

‘Jumping into some of the world’s most beautiful libraries’ I wonder if this book has the Great Library of Alexandra in it? Either way it sounds brilliant, though I am a little put off by the possibility of a love triangle.

Unhooked by Lisa Maxwell
Release Date: 2^nd February 2016

While I love fairytale retellings the Peter Pan inspired books I’ve read seem to be either hit or miss; I couldn’t get through Tiger Lily but I loved Never Never. Unhooked however seems like it’s been inspired by Peter Pan, a sort of sequel rather than a retelling.

Reign of Shadows by Sophie Jordan
Release Date: 9^th February 2016

Another fairytale retelling I can’t wait for. I am a huge fan of fantasy and this book ticks all the right boxes.

---

Riders by Veronica Rossi
Release Date: 16^th February 2016

There aren’t many books I can think of that tell the story of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse so this is a must-read for me. It doesn’t hurt that Rossi’s first series was a favourite of mine.

---

The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig
Release Date: 16^th February 2016

Time travel is a favourite sub genre of mine and there are so many amazing sounding time travel books being released next year. ‘From modern-day New York City to nineteenth-century Hawaii’ I’m already in love, although my bank account is going to hate me.

---

The Shadow Queen by C.J. Redwine
Release Date: 23^rd February 2016

Another fairytale retelling to go on my to-read list. Even though I haven’t read any of C.J. Redwine’s other works a version of Snow White with a princess using magic to go toe to toe with the evil queen and a huntsman who is really a dragon king is too good to pass by.

---

Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton
Release Date: 8^th March 2016

I discovered this book through NetGalley and now I can’t wait for it to be released. Mythical beasts roaming the desert, sharpshooters running from arranged marriages, djinni and murderous sultans, it like nothing I’ve ever read before.

---

The Great Hunt by Wendy Higgins
Release Date: 8^th March 2016

I clearly cannot resist fairy tale retelling books and although I haven’t heard of or read The Singing Bone this book ‘a dark fantasy filled with rugged hunters, romantic tension, outlawed magic, and a princess willing to risk all to save her people’ certainly sounds interesting.

---

Tell the Wind and Fire by Sarah Rees Brennan
Release Date: 5^th April 2016

Sarah Rees Brennan is one of the authors whose books I will always read. I loved her Lynburn Legacy series and I’ve heard great things about her Demon’s Lexicon books so Tell the Wind and Fire is a must-read.
