The Elusive 2016 Releases (Which I totally intend to find)
2016 came and went in a whirlwind and despite reading 147 books there are so many titles that I just didn’t get to, but HAVE TO READ this year. I need more time to read. #bookwormproblem1
Most of these have been on my TBR for ages and I wanted needed them as soon as I saw them on Goodreads. #bookwormproblem2 These are the ones I am going to hunt down and capture.
I know there are far more than the 10 I should have. But don’t panic. Not unless you hear am muffled sound that may or may not be me buried alive by TBR. #bookwormproblem3. Then rush to save me (and bring apple pie).

Zoe @ Stories on Stage
Ahh! SO many fabulous books here! I absolutely loved This is Our Story, Outrun the Moon, and With Malice so I hope you do as well! 🙂
crushingcinders
Thank you ?

Thank you
Jared
Harry Potter wasn’t that good. Take your time getting to it. Just know it wasn’t written by JK Rowling.
Happy reading!
crushingcinders
Thanks Jared. You too!
crushingcinders
Thank you ?
Deborah @ Hills of Books
So many books I need to read!! The Girl from Everywhere is also still on my TBR, I have heard some good things and I love the sound of it from the synopsis!
crushingcinders
Me too! Happy reading
Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight
Such a great list! I want to read SO many of these too! My SIster Rosa, The Thousandth Floor, TSIIAS, Our Chemical Hearts, This is Our Story, With Malice, The Lost and Found, This Adventure Ends… so yeah, lots! I have read After the Woods, Outrun the Moon, and This Savage Song, all of which I REALLY liked, and The Girl From Everywhere, which is an all time favorite! So I hope you enjoy these when you get to read them, such a great list!
crushingcinders
Thank you. Going to make sure I get to these soon. I have been waiting to find physical copies because most of these have beautiful covers, but for some reason they haven’t made it to South Africa yet. I’d order from BD but its also complicated because I travel between SA and Indonesia and they always seem to arrive just after I leave one or the other! #bookwormproblems
Lory @ Emerald City Book Review
The Girl from Everywhere has been on my radar for a while. I’m not great at reading new releases so I may have to catch up with it in a year or two. Have fun with your list!
crushingcinders
Thank you. Happy reading.
Cait @ Paper Fury
Omgggggg so many beautiful books here!! *pets the pretty covers* I absolutely The Lost and Found, My Sister Rosa and the Girl from Everywhere! I totally recommend them! And I don’t understand how we can read so much every year and STILL be totally behind.? What is this life.
crushingcinders
I know! And it just gets worse every year. I think we should have reading days added to the weeks. ?
Tracy @ Cornerfolds
Some of these are on my TBR too! I hope you like The Cursed Child more than I did…

crushingcinders
Oh no, I have heard more negative than positive comments. The main reason I haven’t bought it because of the price. It’s almost double the price of other hardcovers and no sign of a paperback… I feel as though it’s just a money spinner.
Kay @ The Desert Bibliophile
This Savage Song was probably one of my FAVORITE reads from last year, I freaking devoured it!
crushingcinders
Yay! It’s definitely going to the top of my list.
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
The ones sitting on my shelf make me especially sad too. SO. MANY. BOOKS. 🙂
crushingcinders
I know! I wish I could read by osmosis ?
Hannah @ Sprinkled With Words//hannahbanana
This is a great list! I really want to read a bunch of books you have here too, like The Girl from Everywhere and The Sun is Also a Star. I also really want to read My Sister Rosa but I’m a bit scaredy-cat, haha!
crushingcinders
Haha Don’t worry I’ll have to keep the lights on when I read it!
Jane
I really enjoyed Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Check out my review when you’re done 🙂 I have always loved Harry Potter so I liked getting more in that world. Hope you enjoy it!
crushingcinders
Thank you. I am sure I am going love it.
Tanya @ Girl Plus Books
So many good ones! I read Our Chemical Hearts in November I think it was and am still unsure what I think of it. Lots of conflicting feelings on that one and I still haven’t written a review. Walk the Edge… loved it. So much. Katie McGarry is my go-to author for YA contemporary. I’m actually reading Long Way Home right now and loving it.
P.S. Just received your friend request on GoodReads and that led me to your blog. 🙂
Tanya @ Girl Plus Books
crushingcinders
Thank you for the visit. I love Katie McGarry too, so glad Walk the Edge & Long Way Home are good.
Annemieke
The Girl from Everywhere I still need to get too, and I completely forgot to add This is Where it Ends on my list. 🙂
crushingcinders
I also discovered books I had forgotten to add. So many books – I wish time was elastic 🙂
Michelle @ Pink Polka Dot Books
Okay, there are SO many of my fave 2016 books on here!! This Adventure Ends was SO cute!! And I so needed a cute book that was more than just fluff. I also SUPER recommend With Malice and After the Woods. Both were very impressive mystery/thrillers– and I’m ALWAYS looking for good mystery/thrillers. Also, The Thousandth Floor super surprised me. I had heard it compared to Gossip Girl and I was worried– but it was very addicting and just plain GOOD!
I hope you get to read most of these– I know I still need to get to Our Chemical Hearts for sure.
crushingcinders
So glad you liked them, not I know for sure that they need to migrate to the top of the pile!
Greg
Our Chemical hearts and This Adventure Ends are both pretty new to me but they both sound great and I’m adding them to my TBR. Love that cover of Chemical Hearts!
crushingcinders
It is a stunning cover – admittedly that’s way I bought it! But I have heard good things about it too. Happy reading.
Rissi
I read ‘Thousandth Floor’ this year (it’s a very complex story for sure), and was once upon a time interested in ‘Girl from Everywhere’ before I forgot about it. *sigh* That’s yet another of those Bookworm Problems. 😉 I really want to read Katie McGarry’s latest series this year too – and since the third book just came out, now is as good a time as any to accomplish this!
Thanks for visiting Finding Wonderland.
crushingcinders
So glad you enjoyed Thousandth Floor. Happy reading year! 🙂
Krystianna
I loved With Malice! I literally consider it a hidden gem of 2016. I wish more people read it! The Sun is Also a Star was really good too!
Krystianna @ Downright Dystopian
crushingcinders
I actually picked up With Malice today and am really enjoying it. Thank you ?
giovanna
The Sun Is Also A Star, also made my list! I can’t believe I STILL haven’t read it! Hopefully we will both get to it soon! 😀
My Top Ten Tuesday!
crushingcinders
Me too! Happy reading ?
Kimberly Sabatini
It was great! Loved it on audio!
Grace @ Rebel Mommy Book Blog
We share some!! I own all the ones on my list which makes it so sad I haven’t read them. Hope you get to these!!
crushingcinders
Me too! If only time was elastic ?

Hope we get to them soon!
Lori
I love your #bookwormproblems. I can relate! 🙂 This Savage Song is on my list as well. I bought it last summer with so much excitement and then didn’t read it. I really enjoyed The Girl from Everywhere, The Sun is Also a Star, and The Cursed Child!
My Top Ten
crushingcinders
Oh good! I’ll pop them at the to of the list. Happy reading!
Petra
I absolutely loved HP and the Cursed Child. This Savage Song and After the Woods were great as well. I hope you get to read, and enjoy, all of these soon. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
