This week's topic is... Top Ten Books We're Looking Forward To For The First Half Of 2017

Lauren's Picks

1 -- Little Heaven by Nick Cutter

2 -- Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman

3 -- Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris

4 -- Caraval by Stephanie Garber

5 -- Starfall by Melissa Landers

6 -- The Bone Witch by Ri-n Chupeco

Lori's Picks

7 -- South and West by Joan Didion

New Joan Didion, enough said. Coming in March.

8 -- Always Happy Hour by Mary Miller

This looks like a fun collection of short stories that can especially speak to women in their late 20s, early 30s. But I'm sure the appeal will be broader. An Internet buddy was raving about this ARC, so I pre-ordered without much thought. Coming out early January.

Jana's Picks

9 -- The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden 

It sounds like an amazing debut, and is inspired by Russian fairytales!

10 -- Lucky In Love by Kasie West

New Kasie West!! I loved her last book, P.S. I Love You. 

11 -- RoseBlood by A.G. Howard

A Phantom of the Opera retelling! I've been wanting this for years!

12 -- Song of the Current by Sarah Tolcser

A fantasy "set along the waterways of a magical world". That's ALL I NEEDED.
