Let’s forget about the fact that I still have to read five titles on my 2020 list, and take a look at what I’m hoping to read in 2021… I’ve put together a list of 21 books I’ll be giving priority to in the next couple of months; a mix of 2020 releases and backlist titles as well as a mix of different genres. There are about a million other titles I want to read ASAP too, but I guess I’ll have to start somewhere right? xD

Nevernight is fantastic, and I liked The Starless Sea a lot more than the Night Circus, which seems to be a minority opinion!

I can’t wait to finally read Nevernight! And I really enjoyed The Night Circus, so now I’m even more curious to see what I will make of The Starless Sea.

Some excellent books on this list. I adored Hamnet, Koli, American Dust, The Island, and I do have a few that I still need to read here as well xx

I read These Violent Delights. I love every other Kristoff book I’ve read, but I just couldn’t get into Nevernight – from the description, it seems like it would be perfect for me. Hope you enjoy them!

Oh that’s a shame about Nevernight! I’m so behind when it comes to his books in general…

I’m really looking forward to making my way through Chanel Cleeton’s backlist, all of her covers are just so stunning! With a new book coming out this year, seems like the perfect time🤗 also need to finally start reading House on the Cerulean Sea, it seems like it’s a forever favorite for many. I hope you find some new favorites within this stack! Happy reading 🖤

I tried reading Unsub previously and couldn’t get into it at all. Everyone else seemed to love it, so I don’t know what my problem was. I look forward to hearing what you think of it.

Ooh fab list! One of my fave Marrs books on there and a few of my fave books last year (Once and Future Witches, House in the Cerulean Sea, Koli), and of course you can’t go wrong with Louise Beech! These Violent Delights is also on my TBR.

I still can’t believe I haven’t read all of his books yet! I’m hoping to read the final backlist titles this year. I also can’t wait to read the other ones… Although I’m a bit sad about The Mountain In My Shoe as it’s my last Beech backlist title and the wait for the new ones is going to be torture. 😉

I know, I got through the Beeches too quickly and having to wait for a new one IS torture! I have one Marrs left too, Her Last Move I think it’s called. But there will be no new Marrs novels coming out this year (cos there were 2 last year) so I’m planning on reading that sometime this year.

I’ve somehow managed to spread the Beech books out until now, but that ends soon. 😉 Her Last Move is great by the way! Not my absolute favorite, but still excellent. I guess reading his backlist this year will be perfect to get my dose of Marrs if he doesn’t have any new ones coming out. 😉

I read UNSUB back in 2019 and really enjoyed it. I’ve been meaning to continue on with the series ever since but so far that hasn’t happened. Nevernight is on my TBR this year as well.

Good to hear you enjoyed UNSUB though! And the exact same thing happens to me with a lot of series. xD

I see quite a few I’m trying to get to myself! I had Unsub scheduled three times last year. Same with the Christina Lauren book. The Holiday is the only one I read and very much enjoyed.
Good luck, Yvo💜
