In reply to Jennifer @ The Relentless Reader. Thank you! Somehow I believe this is going to be a better year for all of us. and not just for reading! :)

:::Applauding wildly::: Great list, lady 😀 I would put a number of those on my debut list as well. Thanks to you I read, and loved, Life from Scratch. I need to get to Udala Trees…it’s on my pile. (Story of my life!)

I still desperately need/want to get to some of these. Namely, Our Endless Numbered Days with Did You Ever Have a Family close behind.

Such a great year for debuts! And – many of the 2016 books I’m most excited about are debuts as well.

Ive had The Sympathizer on my TBR for months now and really would love to get to it. And am with you on Endless Numbered Days and Did You Ever Have A Family.

In reply to Tara @ Running 'N' Reading. Oh yes, Tara! It's not that long but the writing and plot are unbelievable. We did a discussion of it at TSS and the author joined in which was amazing.

In reply to Marisa @ The Daily Dosage. I'm crazy, right?! Top 10- says who?! But I am finished now. I need to go check out your short stories list because there were some good ones this year.

You rebel you! I did the same with fiction and short stories for the year. It’s just too difficult to make one list it seems. Happy New Year!

Ugh, I ended up having to take The Sympathizer back to the library before I had a chance to read it but I really want to. I hope it makes it to the ToB shortlist so I have another push to pick it up 😉

I *still* think about Our Endless Numbered Days quite often! Definitely will devour whatever she comes out with next.

Catherine, I’ve yet to read Our Endless Numbered Days and I’VE GOT TO DO IT!! I’ve seen it on many lists and posts this year; I’m very intrigued and I’m moving it up on my list. I really enjoy reading debut authors; in fact, I read quite a few this year, too. I need to start keeping track of that statistic, as well. Thanks so much for sharing these and I hope you have a very Happy New Year!!
