So 2016 has arrived with a bang, a new year has begun. And with a new year, new books are also released. Ranging from Sci-Fi, to Horror, and from Contemporary to Graphic Novels, we've complied a list of what we think are going to be the best bookish publications in 2016.
Heartless by Marissa Meyer - Fantasy/Retelling
Catherine may be one of the most desired girls in Wonderland, and a favorite of the yet-unmarried King of Hearts, but her interests lie elsewhere. A talented baker, all she wants is to open a shop with her best friend and supply the Kingdom of Hearts with delectable pastries and confections. But according to her mother, such a goal is unthinkable for the young woman who could be the next Queen.At a royal ball where Cath is expected to receive the king's marriage proposal, she meets Jest, the handsome and mysterious court joker. For the first time, she feels the pull of true attraction. At the risk of offending the King and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into an intense, secret courtship.
Cath is determined to define her own destiny and fall in love on her terms. But in a land thriving with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans.
It's no secret that we adored Marissa Meyer's epic fairytale retelling series The Lunar Chronicles. And now, not only is Meyer retelling another classic story, but it's being released in 2016! Based on Alice in Wonderland's Queen of Hearts, we're adamant that this is going to be amazing. Released November 2nd.
Stars Above by Marissa Meyer - Sci-Fi
The universe of the Lunar Chronicles holds stories—and secrets—that are wondrous, vicious, and romantic. How did Cinder first arrive in New Beijing? How did the brooding soldier Wolf transform from young man to killer? When did Princess Winter and the palace guard Jacin realize their destinies?
With nine stories—five of which have never before been published—and an exclusive never-before-seen excerpt from Marissa Meyer’s upcoming novel, Heartless, about the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland, Stars Above is essential for fans of the bestselling and beloved Lunar Chronicles.
Another Marissa Meyer! But don't despair, this one is being released on February 1st. A compilation of Meyer's Wattpad stories, and some new additions too, this is the perfect read for any Lunar Chronicles fan.
A World Without You by Beth Revis - Contemporary
Seventeen-year-old Bo has always had delusions that he can travel through time. When he was ten, Bo claimed to have witnessed the Titanic hit an iceberg, and at fifteen, he found himself on a Civil War battlefield, horrified by the bodies surrounding him. So when his concerned parents send him to a school for troubled youth, Bo assumes he knows the truth: that he’s actually attending The Academy, a school for kids who, like Bo, have "superpowers."
At The Academy, Bo falls in love with Sofia, a quiet girl with a tragic past and the superpower of invisibility. Sofia helps Bo open up in a way he never has before. In turn, Bo provides comfort to Sofia, who lost her mother and two sisters at a very young age.
But even the strength of their love isn’t enough to help Sofia escape her deep depression. After she commits suicide, Bo is convinced that she's not actually dead. He believes that she's stuck somewhere in time — that he somehow left her in the past, and now it's his job to save her.
This is Beth Revis' first reach into Contemporary fiction. Following on from her heart-stopping Across the Universe trilogy, we know Revis can write characters that are easy to fall in love with, and tragedies that destroy our souls. Released July 19th.
Lumberjanes Vol. #3 - Graphic Novel
This New York Times Bestselling series continues with Jo, April, Mal, Molly, and Ripley as they take on everything that goes bump in the night. From scary stories to magical portals that lead to a land untouched by time, it's definitely not your average summer.
Sadly, very little information on the third installment of Lumberjanes has been released. However, if the last two volumes are anything to go by, we're certain this will be yet another hilarious page turner. This is also Noelle Stevenson's last publication in the Lumberjanes series - from which it will be continued on by Shannon Watters. Released April 5th.
The Black Key by Amy Ewing - Dystopia
Truth is that it was only yesterday that the title for the 3rd installment in Amy Ewing's The Lone City trilogy was released. Currently, there's no synopsis. But if the last two books in this trilogy - The Jewel and The White Rose - are anything to go by, then we are beyond excited to see how Violet's story ends later this year. Released September/October.
