Top Ten 2016 Releases We Meant to Read But Didn’t Get Around To (But TOTALLY Plan To):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Nicola Yoon’s The Sun Is Also a Star<\/em> (in progress)<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  2. Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff’s Gemina<\/em> (on hold at the library)<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  3. Susan Dennard’s Truthwitch<\/em> (own it)<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  4. C.B. Lee’s Not Your Sidekick<\/em> (in progress)<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  5. David Arnold’s Kids of Appetite<\/em> (checked out)<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  6. Brittany Cavallaro’s A Study in Charlotte<\/em> (checked out)<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  7. Eliot Schrefer’s Rescued<\/em> (Christmas present)<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  8. Matthew Desmond’s Evicted<\/em> (audiobook on hold)<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  9. Zadie Smith’s Swing Time<\/em> (checked out)<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  10. Ta-Nehisi’s The Black Panther (on hold)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How about you? What new books did you not quite get to this year that you hope to tackle in 2017?<\/p>\n

    \n
    \"Bout<\/a><\/div>\n

    Finally, I just wanted to give a final tally<\/a> for Bout of Books 18. In addition to the three books I finished and reviewed<\/a> last week (the first two were already in progress, so it’s really less impressive than it sounds), I also made progress on two other books, Jay Asher’s What Light<\/em>, another of my Christmas books, and my current non-fiction read, Dear Data<\/em>, by Giorgia Lupi and Stefanie Posavec.<\/p>\n

    Clearly, the reading portion of my goal-setting was a success. I didn’t visit anyone else’s blog, only gave a couple updates, and only participated in the one challenge, in addition to doing the Twitter chats, so the social aspect of my goals left something to be desired. However, I did actually post reviews of the completed books, so I’m not considering it a total washout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
