Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s theme was 2016 releases I meant to read but somehow, inexplicably… didn’t. I based this list on my memory and two posts I made last year about my most anticipated releases for the first and second half of 2016.

All the Single Ladies: Unmarried Women and the Rise of an Independent Nation by Rebecca Traister (March 1st) // The City of Mirrors by Justin Cronin (May 24th) // Dear Emma by Katie Heaney (March 1st) // Everfair by Nisi Shawl (August 16th) // Every Anxious Wave by Mo Daviau (February 9th)

Hamilton: The Revolution by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jeremy McCarter (April 12th) // How to Ruin Everything: Essays by George Watsky (June 14th) // If I Was Your Girl by Meredith Russo (May 3rd) // In the Country We Love: My Family Divided by Diane Guerrero (May 3rd) // Lumberjanes, vol. 5: Band Together by Noelle Stevenson (December 13th)

logo-TopTenTuesday Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s theme was the most anticipated releases for the first half (January through June) of 2016.

I’m getting a little bit better at knowing about new releases – thank you, library job – but I still don’t know about a lot (hence my shortened list!). As to me actually reading any of these next year… well, that’s an entirely different story!
