Emily's Reading Room

New year, new book releases. This is my Top 10 list of books I'm looking forward to read in 2017. I'll be discovering new authors and returning to some beloved series from the past years. But I could do with some more reading recs and I'd love if you left your most anticipated books in the comments. Happy Reading! #10 Defy the Stars by Claudia Gray Noemi Vidal is a teen soldier from the planet Genesis, once a colony of Earth that's now at war for its independence.

Happy New Year 2017! In 2016 I started another year at university in a new degree and that meant a lot of additional reading and extra work that took away my blogging time. I read 45 books in total and I guess I just have to make the best out of it. Again I'm glad for all the new wonderful literary worlds I got to travel in 2016 and places in the real world as well. I went to London and Edinburgh and spent almost three weeks travelling the South of Ireland which was a dream! So here's to many new amazing reads and experiences in 2017. Happy Reading!
