Jen's 2017 Anticipated Releases Check In

I had 9 books in my most anticipated releases list in 2017 and I managed to read 5 of them. I feel like about half is not too bad an effort and a definite improvement from 2016 in which I only read 2 of my most anticipated books.

Always and Forever, Lara Jean (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before #3) by Jenny Han

I actually started this one as soon as it came in the mail and I finished it in 2 days. I absolutely loved this book and thought it was an amazing conclusion to the trilogy.

Wreck by Fleur Ferris

This was one I squeezed in towards the end of 2017 and I’m so glad that I did because it was brilliant and probably my favourite book by this author yet.

There’s Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins

I’m sad to say that while this wasn’t a terrible book, it still ended up on my most disappointing books of 2017 list because I felt that it didn’t deliver what it promised and it definitely did not live up to my expectations.

A Court of Wings and Ruin (A Court of Thorns and Roses #3) by Sarah J. Maas

Another book that I was disappointed with. Upsetting, but not really that surprising since I wasn’t a fan of how things turned out in A Court of Mist and Fury. 

Lord of Shadows (The Dark Artifices #2) by Cassandra Clare

Such an amazing book and I was loving it, right up until the end when my heart was ripped out and stabbed into a million pieces. I’m still not okay.

And now onto the books that I didn’t get to because so little time, so many books.

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

This was super high up on my list of most anticipated 2017 releases and I’m so sad that I didn’t get to it. However I made it a priority in 2018 and I’m happy to say that I’ve now read it and it was amazing.  

Long May She Reign by Rhiannon Thomas

I still don’t even own this book yet and unfortunately it has fallen way down my priority list as my focus in 2018 is on my unread owned books.

Immortal Reign (Falling Kingdoms #6) by Morgan Rhodes

I had plans to re-read the first two books and then continue on with my read of the series and that just didn’t end up happening at all. That didn’t even matter in the end since this book got pushed back to 2018. I do have hopes to at least start this series in 2018 but there’s just too many other books.

Wayfarer (Passenger #2) by Alexandra Bracken

Still haven’t even read Passenger yet…
