Happy New Year Everyone! Boy am I getting a late start this year.
There are almost always too many books to list when I look at what’s coming out from week to week. I managed to narrow it down- just a little bit- to the ones that caught my eye. I have the starred (*) ones on my shelf and I have even read the double starred ones (**).

I am hoping to start Cinder this week, and the Crown is on my list for the end of the month as well. A lot of the other ones look great as well, and I am excited by your posting this lineup. Looks like I will have a lot of great books to choose from in the upcoming months! Thanks, Nicole!

Enjoy Cinder! I am now anxiously awaiting the sequel, which is a long way away.
Great list! I’m really excited about several of those titles, especially The World We Found.

I think Swapna might be single-handedly responsible for half the book bloggers who want to read this book. I always think of her when I think of Thrity.
So many good books! I’m anxiously awaiting the arrival of Cinder in my mailbox. Squee!
Andi´s last [type] ..Top Ten Tuesday: Books (and Stories) for Non-Short Story Readers!
Cinder was a great read! And now I am stuck waiting for the next book.
I have read a few of the ones on your list, such as the Demi-Monde, Cinder, and 52 Small Changes. The Night Swsimmer and Running the Rift look like ones I’d enjoy! Nice list to read!
Running the Rift is excellent Harvee. I really recommend it. I also enjoyed Cinder and to some extent The Demi-Monde Winter.
I’m chomping at the bit for The Winter Palace and Iago. Really, everything on your list sounds like must reads. Happy New Year.
Martha @ Hey, I want to read that´s last [type] ..Teaser Tuesday
Happy New Year Martha. I love the idea of Iago. I just can’t get enough of those re-tellings.
Well hello there! I feel like we haven’t “spoken” in awhile! I just wanted to sit here and scream “Yes, yes, yes” and bang on the table like in When Harry Met Sally when I read your list here. I want them all.

And I always have to weed stuff out. Not because I don’t want the books, I just get tired of working on the post! Are you planning on reading Running the Rift? That one was really good.
S many great reads… seriously, how important is sleeping?
Sheila (Book Journey)´s last [type] ..The Future Of Us by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler
I was able to sleep and read quite a bit in equal measure over the holidays, but still woefully behind on the reading!
Very nice and eclectic collection; many of which I hadn’t heard of! I’m going to check out The Invisible Ones, for some reason that title combined with the cover really grabbed me.
Happy reading, Nichole!
The Invisible Ones is a slow moving murder mystery with some very interesting ideas and twists along the way. I had mixed feelings about it, but I think most of my issues were with pacing. I’d love to kow what you thought if you do indeed pick it up.
Some great reads on this list! Unfortunately I have no hope whatsoever of keeping up with all the brilliant stuff being released!

Ha! I don’t have much hope of keeping up. That’s part of why I like to have these lists. I can go back and check them out sometimes to catch up or see what I have still missed out on.
Nicole, you’re adding more books to my reading list! I just finished writing down a list of books I’m hoping to read from NetGalley. I love all the non-fiction self-help you included, now I’m curious about it. Thanks for letting us know The Last Nude is coming out in paperback!
vasilly´s last [type] ..Reading, or lack of
I get so into the self-help at the beginning of the year. I like to read it anyway, but there is something about January that makes it irresistible. I hope you enjoy what you pick up.
