Top Ten Tuesday: Hidden Gems I Read in 2016

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme held by The Broke and the Bookish.




This week's topic is: Hidden gems I read in the past year.

Hidden gems, to me, means books that don't get enough love. The love they so deserve. The readers they deserve to have. So either these books are ones I don't see the community or my friends ever talking about and/or they don't have a decent number of ratings on Goodreads; this makes them my hidden gems from 2016.

The Fixer (The Fixer, #1)Undecided (Burnham College, #1)Summer of SloaneThe Wrong Side of RightThe Vanishing Throne (The Falconer, #2)
Overexposed (In Focus, #4)The King Slayer (The Witch Hunter, #2)How to Repair a Mechanical HeartWe Are the AntsThis Adventure Ends


Have you guys read any of these and loved them too? What was a hidden gem from your past year?

Happy reading!

Brittany

  2. The Fixer and The Vanishing Throne both look interesting though I may be going for the covers! And I'm curious about How to Repair a Mechanical Heart. I'll have to check these out!

    1. Both are ones you must. The Falconer trilogy is a historical type fantasy with fae set in Scotland. Amazing.
      How to Repair a Mechanical Heart is a YA contemporary about a boy falling for his friend, well figuring out there's more there. I believe he was already out before the book starts. So it's more him embarking on his first romantic journey well being super nerdy with comic con stuff.

  3. I've heard many good things about "The Fixer" and loved the first book in Jennifer Lynn Barnes' "The Naturals" series and since it's already on my TBR I'm looking forward to reading it soon! :)

    1. I absolutely love her Naturals series. The books got more and more twisted and shocking as they went on. Her Fixer series is just as fantastic. More political. But still twisty, smart and shocking.

  4. I have We Are The Ants on my TBR right now. Even though it's not my typical genre, I've heard good reviews.

  5. Most of these I'm at least familiar with, but there are a couple that are totally new to me. Like, The Vanishing Throne, The King Slayer, and Overexposed... never even heard of them. I just checked out Overexposed and it sounds *so good.* Might have to one-click this one.
