What Books Must You Read Before 2017?

So, incredibly we have just over two months left of 2016 which means, if you're anything like me, you're looking at your reading challenge and laughing nervously about how you're going to read seventeen more books before the end of the year. Or you're looking at your TBR shelf and thinking about what books you want to squeeze in before the New Year. Or both.

I am firmly in the both category and thought it might be fun to talk about what books you guys plan to definitely (try) to read before 2017. Because my list is growing, which is good because those seventeen books aren't going to read themselves.

The books on my list include:

• Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
• Gemina by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman
• Last Seen Leaving by Caleb Roehrig
• This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab
• The Last Leaves Falling by Fox Benwell (w/a Sarah Benwell)
• All the Rage by Courtney Summers
• Killer Instinct by S.E. Green
• Timekeeper by Tara Sim
• Fear the Drowning Deep by Sarah Marsh
• Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit by Jaye Robin Brown
• Written in the Stars by Aisha Saeed
• Bad Boy by Elliot Wake
• Gena/Finn by Hannah Moskowitz and Kat Helgeson
• More graphic novels/comics? 
• Some writing craft books?
• Definitely others I'm not remembering at the moment.

Most of those I either own, have pre-ordered, or have ARCs for, and the rest I plan to hunt down at my library, which I've confirmed are there. And because of course it's totally not too early to be thinking about Christmas list books, I'll be asking for these:

• Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake
• When the Moon Was Ours by Anna-Marie McLemore
• As I Descended by Robin Talley
• Labryinth Lost by Zoraida Córdova
• Of Fire and Stars by Audrey Coulthurst
• A Darkly Beating Heart by Lindsay Smith
• Fear the Drowning Deep by Sarah Glenn Marsh
• Timekeeper by Tara Sim
• Probably others

How about you? What do you aim to read before 2017 and/or plan to ask for in December?
