A 2016 Release You’ve Already Read & Recommend To Everyone:
I’ve only read one and I’m not sure how I feel about it!
Awesome! I really need to read Court of Thorns and Roses!
Great post. This survey takes so much time to do every year, I feel we should all be awarded a medal for completing it. ACoTaR was one of my absolute favourite books of last year and I am soooo excited for A Court of Mist and Fury. I still need to read Cress, and Winter. I loved My Life Next Door, it’s still one of my favourite books. I definitely feel I need to have a reread of that this year.
Great answers! I hope you have a great reading year in 2016! 🙂 Here’s my survey if you want to check it out.
