My Most Anticipated 2021 Releases (So Far)

Hey, all!

It's that time of the year where I discuss the 2021 releases that I am the most excited for. Granted, many stories have yet to be announced and I am sure that I am missing some of the releases that have caught my eye, but these are the releases of my favorite authors; so naturally they have made the list. There are also a few unannounced titles that are featured on Goodreads, but there is no word from the authors or their publishers. 

Below you will find a list of 15 books by authors that I positively adore. No doubt there will be titles announced and released that will thrill me into my bones. 

1. Into the Heartless Wood by Joanna Ruth Meyer -- January 26
2. Written In Starlight (Woven in Moonlight #2) by Isabel Ibanez -- February 9
3. A Court of Silver Flames (ACOTAR #4) by Sarah J. Maas -- February 16
4. Bridge of Souls (Cassidy Blake #3) by Victoria Schwab -- March 2
5. Act Your Age, Eve Brown (The Brown Sisters #3) by Talia Hibbert  -- March 9
6. Namesake (Fable #1) by Adrienne Young -- March 16
7. Rule of Wolves (King of Scars #1) by Leigh Bardugo -- March 30
8. People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry -- May 11
9. The Soulmate Equation by Christina Lauren -- May 18
10. An Emotion of Great Delight by Tahereh Mafi -- June 1
11. Any Way the Wind Blows (Carry On #3) by Rainbow Rowell -- July 6
12. Love Letters From a Lord by Tessa Dare -- July 6
13. The Betrayed by Kiera Cass -- July 6
14. Isn't It Bromantic (Bromance B ook Club #3) by Lyssa Kay Adams -- July 20
15. The Heart Principle (The Kiss Quotient #3) by Helen Hoang -- August 17
16. Portrait of a Scotland by Evie Dunmore -- September 7
17. Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff -- September 7
18. Well Matched by Jen DeLuca -- 2021 (no release date or cover, yet!)

Hopefully, there will be more from Sarah J. Maas, Elizabeth Acevedo, and V.E. Schwab, but we will see!

Here are some debuts and new-to-me authors with titles that have caught my interest as well!

• A Dark & Hollow Star by Ashley Shuttleworth -- February 23

There are, naturally, so many books coming out this year. I'm not sure how I'll keep up with reading them all, but I'd love to read the majority of the listed ones above.

Most Anticipated Winter & Spring 2020 Releases

Hey, guys!

There are so many wonderful books coming out in 2020! There is no way that I'm going to get to them...for goodness sake, I have at least 70 on my Goodreads shelf alone. Here are the 14 books that are on my radar and my 5-star predictions. There are only three authors (bottom row) that I have never read on this list, but I'm confident that they are going to be excellent reads. 


This year is probably going to be the year of library check-outs and tackling my physical TBR because I can honestly not afford to buy all the new releases this year. I've decided to really cut down on my book-buying and to focus on the books that I have right now, rather than acquiring more books that I won't read right away. It sounds like common sense, but I get so tempted in book stores. It's wild.

Here are the books that I'm anticipating the most from 2020! I plan to read every single one of them in 2020.

      

• A Heart So Fierce and Broken by Brigid Kemmerer - January 7
• Woven in Moonlight by Isabel Ibanez - January 7
• Beyond the Shadowed Earth by Joanna Ruth Meyer - January 14
• Lucky Caller by Emma Mills - January 14

Once again, January is beginning with a bang. There are so many fantastic books from my favorite people that are being published. I'm so jazzed to continue on with the ACSDAL series and read some more stand-alones by my favorites.

• House of Earth and Blood (Crescent City #1) by Sarah J. Maas -- March 3
• Docile by K.M. Szpara - March 3
• Undercover Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams - March 10
• The Consequences of Loving Me by Kat Singleton - March 19
• The Honey-Don't List by Christina Lauren - March 24

Another month of fantastic releases! I'm so so so excited for House of Earth and Blood. It's my most anticipated read of 2020. I need it in my hands as soon as possible. You bet your butt that I'll be spending the beginning of March tackling this massive book. I've also heard so many interesting and intriguing things about Docile. I cannot wait to give it a try. Of course I had to add the new Bromance Book Club book to my list. I've already read an ARC of it, but I'm so excited to have a finished copy. 

• Check Please! Book 2: Sticks and Scones by Ngozi Ukazu - April 7
• The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang - May 4
• The Betrothed by Kiera Cass - May 5 
• Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo -May 14
• The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins - May 19

I'm not sure how I became so blessed to be alive for so many of my favorites continued releases, but holy cow, I'm so freaking jazzed for the Helen Hoang's newest book, Kiera Cass's newest book, Suzanne Collins is back????, Elizabeth Acevedo has a new release that sounds just fabulous, and we're getting another collected volume of Check Please!? How are we so blessed? I'm so excited to read all of these books. My heart rate is already going nuts just thinking of getting my hands on these books.

Which 2020 releases are you the most excited for? Which of the books from this list have you heard of and which are completely new to you? Let's discuss in the comments!

Happy reading!
