What I Am Looking Forward to Reading in 2017

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2017! 

For the last four years, I've done a similar post, and I thought it would be a good idea to keep the idea going. 



I'm doing this like I did last year. There will be two sections to this post. The first one will highlight the books that I am excited for in 2017 that I already have, via ARC/eARC. The second section will highlight the ones that I am excited for and do not have (yet).

I'll update this post with titles and release dates (as they come), as well as my review links (as I read/review).

  12. Several of these are on my list, too! I am especially excited about Hunted.

    I just finished Hard Hitter last night, and I LOVED it! It was a great way to start of my reading year. I'm going to check out your review now.

    Here's to a great 2017 reading year. :) (And all around year.)

    1. Thank you! Same, Undecided was a favorite last year. I wish I could have gotten more of an early start on my 2017 galleys, but that's okay! Nine isn't so bad to begin the year. ;)

    1. DUDE! I know exactly what you mean! I'm already in July 2017 novels. I feel like I'm not as interested in YA books (especially debuts) this year. Even though this list seems like a lot.

      I definitely will!
