    I also read and loved City of Ghosts and Ignite the Stars this year. I picked both of these up because I knew the sequels were coming out soon, both of which I also read. I see more books on your lists that I still need to read too.

  4. John Smith

    I have a copy of “The Last Life of Prince Alastor” that I haven’t read yet–I very much enjoyed the first book, to which it is a sequel. –As far as backlist reads go, I highly recommend the fantasy adventures of Jonathan Stroud. I discovered them this year, and they’re very fun and exciting!

    Pulp – Robin Talley is on two of these lists so now I’m really wondering about that one though I have no clue what it’s about. It’s new to me!

    Really really want to read My So-Called Bollywood Life by Nisha Sharma! Also, The Authentics by Abdi Nazemian, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Ignite the Stars by Maura Milan, and My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand! ?

    I have read quite a few of your favorites, there are a few that I haven’t read yet, hoping to get to them in the near future! (Jack of Hearts (and Other Parts) – Lev A.C. Rosen, Cold Summer by Gwen Cole, The Disappearance of Sloane Sullivan – Gia Cribs are some of them)

  17. Amanda Miller

    I still really want to read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. It sounds right up my alley.
