T5W: Books You Want to Finally Read in 2017 (12/07/2016)

This weeks #T5W topic is Books You Want to Finally Read in 2017. These are those books you meant to read in 2016 or 2015 or 2014 and never got around to. Those books that have been sitting on your TBR for a while, and you really want to get to. These aren't upcoming 2017 releases; these are older books that need your love too!

1. City of Bones – Cassandra ClareI am way behind the times on Cassandra Clare as I haven’t read any of her books yet. I have started this book more times than I am willing to admit. I just need to be in the right state of mind to read this book. Hopefully, 2017 is the year to finally read this highly recommended book.
2. Me Before You – JoJo MoyesHere is another, get on the bandwagon book for me. I mean come on, it’s already a movie and I haven’t read the book! I own it, I really have no excuses.
3. Throne of Glass – Sarah J. MaasAlright another well-known book. It’s been on my list for years now, but I just haven’t gotten around to picking it up. I am not 100% sure it’s going to be my style of read. To be honest, I am worried it won’t live up to the hype and I will hate it. Basically, for this reason, I haven’t read it.
4. Miss Peregrine’s Homefor Peculiar Children – Ransom RiggsFunny story on why I haven’t gotten around to this one… I thought it was a horror novel! I mean some 1,100 users have flagged it as horror on Goodreads. Horror and I just don’t mix. I like to read at night and can’t read something that will keep me up. We finally discussed this book at book club one night because Barnes and Noble had a free pack of “photos” from the orphanage. I have the paper copy and look forward to reading it soon!
5. B is for Burglar – Sue GraftonI read the first installment, A is for Alibi in 2014, and have been meaning to continue ever since. It keeps getting put on my TBR for the month, but then I don’t get to it or I am not in the mood for a mystery. I really hope to get to this one and might have to re-read the first.
