The Abyss Surrounds Us and Burn Baby Burn are also on my list. I think I will make 2017 the year I read Meg Medina! I’ll get her YA books in the next few months.

Ha I have such a too long list too 🙂 I’m usually a year behind, shame on me, I shoud return my book blogger badge. White Rage looks brutal but worthy of a read!

I am fairly useless at keeping abreast of what is being published, and I never have much of a reading plan, so I think I can say I read everything I wanted to in 2016. Unless I am forgetting something, which is likely. ha.

Playing Dead was so good! I definitely recommend going back for it 🙂

I am usually pottering around in the backlist with occasional forays into reading new releases, so I don’t have a huge list of 2016 books that I wanted to read right then and there. That said, the 2016 books that I was hoping to actually read in 2016 were Yaa Gyasi’s Homegoing, Amani Al-Khatahtbeh’s Muslim Girl, Chris Cleave’s Everyone Brave is Forgiven and Matthew Desmond’s Evicted.

I recently read my first ever comic (Matt Fraction’s Hawkeye run) and absolutely loved it. I’ve been looking for my next comic to try. Your description of Mockingbird caught me and one google search of the background later, I’m in. I’ll look out for it at my library now.

In reply to Stefanie@SoManyBooks.

I hadn’t heard of the Abyss book until this year either! A fellow book blogger — The Illustrated Page, I think? — mentioned it in a recent post and I thought it sounded great.

In reply to Michelle. I'm just waiting for my library to get a copy of the Mockingbird trade paperback! I believe they have both the nonfiction books you mention, but they've been checked outttttt ever since my library got them. Sob.

In reply to TJ @ MyBookStrings. Aw, thanks! My library is indeed the best -- though this book is such a niche interest (not because Africa isn't interesting but because America remains not that interested in Africa) that I kind of wonder if me searching for it over and over is what convinced them to buy it. :p

In reply to Katie McD @ Bookish Tendencies. I know, it definitely is for me too, particularly since now all the books I didn't get to in 2014 and 2015 are still on the list. Books are infinite and my time is limited, siiiiiiigh.
