Books I Want To Read By The End Of The Year: 2016 Edition

Instead of a T5W post this week (I wasn’t feeling the prompt 😕), I thought I’d share all the books I want to read before 2017 rolls around. I did a similar post like this last year, so I thought I’d do it again. I loved coming back to it and crossing off all the books. I may not get to read all of them but if I can get a few off, that will be a few less books on my TBR.

1. Nevernight

All I really know about this, is that it’s about a girl named Mia who goes to an assassin school, and who is also plotting to avenge her family’s killer. When I heard that synopsis, I immediately pre-ordered it. I can’t wait to read it.

2. The Queen of the Tearling

I’ve had my eye on this trilogy ever since it came out, but because I hate the wait between books, I’ve been waiting for the last book to get a release date so I could read them close together.

The main plot revolves around a 19 year old queen whose come back to reclaim her kingdom. I’ve heard some mixed things, so hopefully I’ll end up liking it.

3. City of Heavenly Fire

Another series I’ve put off reading because I don’t want it to end. I honestly don’t know why I alway do this to myself? Anyway, moving on. 🙄

I am excited to see how it all concludes. I loved all the other books in the series (well, except maybe the first). And once I’m done with TMI, I can then finally move onto Lady Midnight.

4. Truthwitch

When the mixed reviews of Truthwitch came in, I do have to say I was kinda intrigued. It seems like such a polarising book; I’m interested to see where I fall.

This another book I don’t know much about, other than fact it’s about two witches who are the best of friends.

5. Jane Eyre

 I hardly ever read classics. So on my quest to read at least one classic this year, I’ve picked Jane Eyre off my TBR. Despite classics being slightly hard to read, I am looking forward to starting it. All I need now, is just some time to hunker down with it.

6. Twelve Kings

This a fairly new fantasy series which I haven’t seen many people talk about it. The few blogs and booktube channels that have mentioned it, made it sound amazing.

It follows a young woman who lives in a city called Sharakhai which is ruled by twelve kings. One night she discovers some secrets about said kings as well as about her own heritage. And basically the story goes on from there (I think?).

It’s gotten some stellar reviews. So fingers crossed it doesn’t let me down

7. The Dark Days Club

I got this for my birthday and I have been wanting to read it ever since. But as you all know there are books that come along that take your fancy more and others that go on the back-burner, which was what happened here.

This is an urban fantasy set in the 1800s in London, following Lady Helen as she hunts demons. I’m currently reading it at the moment and its been really good so far.

8. A Torch Against the Night

I read the first book in this series, An Ember in the Ashes, fairly recently. It exceeded my expectations, and now I have high hopes for the sequel. If its anything like the first, its gonna be one hell of a ride.

What are the books you wanna read by the end of the year? I’d love to know. 😊

As always, thanks for reading.
