I'd be lying if I say that today's topic isn't my favorite! There are so many 2017 books I'm excited for that it took a long time to narrow it down to 10 (plus a couple honorary mention!). Anyway, here they are!

OTPs of the Year!
Wednesday, December 28, 2016
I originally want to choose villain for today's topic (because who doesn't love villains?), but realized that I didn't read that many fantasy with amazing villains. That's why I choose couples, which is also the easiest topic for me. Here they are :
Matthias/Nina and Kaz/Inej and Jesper/Wylan- Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo (sorry but i ship these three so hard so i can't choose)
Arin/Kestrel - The Winner's Kiss by Marie Rutkoski
Frank/Emily - Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson

Few things come as naturally to Harper as epic mistakes. In the past year she was kicked off the swim team, earned a reputation as Carson High’s easiest hook-up, and officially became the black sheep of her family. But her worst mistake was destroying her relationship with her best friend, Declan.
Now, after two semesters of silence, Declan is home from boarding school for the summer. Everything about him is different—he’s taller, stronger…more handsome. Harper has changed, too, especially in the wake of her mom’s cancer diagnosis.
While Declan wants nothing to do with Harper, he’s still Declan, her Declan, and the only person she wants to talk to about what’s really going on. But he’s also the one person she’s lost the right to seek comfort from.
As their mutual friends and shared histories draw them together again, Harper and Declan must decide which parts of their past are still salvageable, and which parts they’ll have to let go of once and for all.

Theodore Finch is fascinated by death, and he constantly thinks of ways he might kill himself. But each time, something good, no matter how small, stops him.
Violet Markey lives for the future, counting the days until graduation, when she can escape her Indiana town and her aching grief in the wake of her sister’s recent death.
When Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the bell tower at school, it’s unclear who saves whom. And when they pair up on a project to discover the “natural wonders” of their state, both Finch and Violet make more important discoveries: It’s only with Violet that Finch can be himself—a weird, funny, live-out-loud guy who’s not such a freak after all. And it’s only with Finch that Violet can forget to count away the days and start living them. But as Violet’s world grows, Finch’s begins to shrink.
This is an intense, gripping novel perfect for fans of Jay Asher, Rainbow Rowell, John Green, Gayle Forman, and Jenny Downham from a talented new voice in YA, Jennifer Niven.

These Authors Are New to Me!
Tuesday, December 6, 2016
Top Ten Tuesday is created by the Broke and the Bookish
It's been a long time since I last doing a TTT post, so I'm pretty excited to be back! Today's theme is new to me author, and eventhough I only read, like less than 50 books this year, I've discovered a lot of new authors whose next books I can't wait to read. Here they are!
1. Leigh Bardugo
I discovered the awesomeness that is Six of Crows earlier this year, and Shadow and Bone is even my very first 2016 reads (eventhough I haven't pick up the sequel yet).
