Top Ten 2016 Debuts Novels I Are Looking Forward To


Top Ten Tuesdays is a weekly feature created at The Broke and The Bookish.













1. The Square Root of Summer by Harriet Reuter Hapbood: Holes in space-time...

2. Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton: Girls with magical horses has been one of my things since forever.

3. Love, Lies,and Spies by Cindy Anstey: I really like the cover...

4. The Star-Touched Queen by Roshani Choksi: This one sounds interesting. I do so enjoy girl-accidentally-becomes-queen stories.

5. Fear the Drowning Deep by Sarah Glenn Marsh: Witches and a murder mystery rolled into one...



6. The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig: Time travel! Time travel! Time travel!

7. A Drop of Night by Stefan Bachmann: This one sounds eerie.

8. A Study in Charlotte by Brittany Cavallard: Despite the fact that twists on Sherlock Holmes rarely work for me, I can't not try.

9. The May Queen Murders by Sarah Jude: Gothics.

10. The Reader by Traci Chee: This one sounds a little trope-y, but it might be fun.

    I vaguely remember reading about "Square Root." As I recall it did sound really good. Numbers 6 and 8 made my list too. :)

      I'll admit I was definitely drawn to the vividness of the colours on the cover (and also prodigies, prodigies are always fun).

    I am seeing THE GIRL FROM EVERYWHERE on a lot of lists. It must be getting a lot of press which makes me want to look into it.
    I honestly don't pay much attention to upcoming debut books or authors. I went off the board this week and hope I have provided a service at the same time for holiday shopping tips for book lovers. My Top Ten Tuesday list

      Its definitely getting a lot of attention, and I'm just really hoping it lives up to the hype! I'm always kind of hit and miss with debuts, but it is nice to know what to look for.

    I haven't heard of The May Queen Murders, definitely worth checking out. I'm interested with most of the books in your list, can't wait for them to come out. I swear 2016 is a fantastic reading year, and these are just debut authors!

      The May Queen Murders was a recent discovery for me, but it sounds like it should be an interesting read.

    The Girl From Everywhere is on my list too! I think I may have to check out Fear the Drowning Deep, if not just for the cover haha

    Here is my TTT!

      The Girl From Everywhere has appeared on a couple of lists so far, it sounds like a lot of people are looking forward to it. I know they say you can't judge a book by its cover... but we all know we totally do!

    SO many awesome-looking books here! I'm excited for so many of them. I hadn't heard of FEAR THE DROWNING DEEP before, but now I NEED to read it.

    Happy TTT!

      Was it the cover? The cover seems to be getting a bit of love in the comments here today. It does sound like it should be an interesting one (would we call the genre Historical Paranormal? Is that a thing?)

    The cover for Love, Lies, and Spies is eye-catching. I'm intrigued by that one and several others on your list. Fear the Deep Drowning looks especially enticing. So many great titles to look forward to!
