Top Ten Tuesday - Most Anticipated Books of 2016



Thank you to the folks at The Broke and the Bookish for hosting this fun Top Ten Tuesday meme each week! Visit here to see tons of other bloggers’ lists.


Top Ten most anticipated 2016 releases (first half of year)


I am so far behind in my reading that I shouldn’t even take time to create this post, yet I couldn’t resist. Oh, the anticipation! Most of these are by authors whose previous work I have enjoyed immensely, but there are a few new or new-to-me authors I’m eager to try. And just ignore the "top ten" label because there's no way I could stop there! (Books are listed in no particular order.)

Be sure to share your thoughts!

    1. Melissa, I wish I could say that I will get all of my TBR list read, but as I keep adding to it, I doubt that will ever be the case. Best wishes on yours!

    1. You're very welcome, Janet. Your library is a great ministry tool...I'm a little envious that our church doesn't have one!

  5. You cheated with 19! LOL. You have many of the books that I want but failed to list in my post. Hopefully I can clear the reading backlog too in order to make room for more of these great books. Thanks for sharing and a very Happy New Year to you and your family!

    1. No fair counting, Beckie! LOL I suspect I left some important ones off in spite of going over 10, but these are some of my favorite authors. It looks like you and I will have fun in 2016!
