You might notice that almost all of them are teen books. I did read a disproportionate number of them this year, but the reason there aren’t many fantasy, sci-fi, or urban fantasies on this list is because I’ve been focused on finishing out series I’d already started. That’s not to say there aren’t still some great books here – The Girl of Fire and Thorns is easily my new favorite teen fantasy and Not a Drop to Drink is also way up on my list of dystopians. I am also in love with Perfected and The Lies of Locke Lamora and… well, all of them lol.
What new authors did you read this year?
The Obsessive Bookseller 
Perfected was one of my favorite books this year! I need a sequel! I loved Reboot and I plan to read the sequel soon. You have some great books and authors on your list. This reminded me that I really need to read Salvage. I’ve had it I’m my tbr pile for a while but other books keep getting piled on top of it. Great list!

I second everything you just said about perfected and reboot! They were awesome!! Salvage is an incredibly unconventional book, but that’s part of. Why I liked it so much.

I just read, Not A Drop To Drink, Reboot, and The Girl Of Fire And Thrones. I really liked everyone of these books and would recommend them. I am about halfway through reading The Lies Of Locke Lamora and so far I am thoroughly enjoying it as well. Awesome list Niki!
