Anticipated Releases: 2021

These are the major books coming out in 2021 for me. I know there are a ton of books coming out in the new year. These are just the ones I’ve been looking forward to reading next year.

1. Enjoy the View (Moose Springs, Alaska #3) by Sarah Morgenthaler-- The final book in the Moose Springs, Alaska companion series. This series is about a small town in Alaska that doesn’t really love the tourists who visit throughout the year. They’re all cute and easy to read romances between an out of towner and a local. These books are seriously one or two sitting reads for me. Light and fluffy and great for breaking up all my bigger reads.

2. Bridge of Souls (Cassidy Blake #3) by Victoria Schwab-- I picked up the first two books in this Middle Grade series this Fall and loved them. It’s a series about a girl who can see ghosts who is traveling with her parents who have a TV show about ghost hunting. Her best friend is a ghost and these books are so cute. Despite me not being the target audience there were still moments that made me nervous for our main character and moments where the sweetness touched my poor shriveled heart.

3. Namesake (Fable #2) by Adrienne Young-- The final book in the Fable duology. I’m a big fan of Adrienne Young. This series is about a girl who was abandoned on an island by her pirate father after her mother dies. Her goal is to get to her father and finally receive her inheritance. Book one was so much fun and so heart breaking at times.

4. Rule of Wolves (Nikolai #2) by Leigh Bardugo-- The final book of the Nikolai duology and book 7 of the Grisha Verse. I liked but didn’t love the first book. I felt like the author has a lot of explaining to do for the chaos that was the end of King of Scars.

5. Fugitive Telemetry (The Murderbot Diaries #6) by Martha Wells-- I discovered and marathoned this series while I was stuck in bed with Covid. The Murderbot Diaries is a futuristic sci-fi about a Security Bot who doesn’t want to do their job. They just want to watch their Serials all day. Instead they get drug along while their humans make some of the worst decisions.

6. The Box in the Woods (Truly Devious #4) by Maureen Johnson-- Originally, I thought the Truly Devious series was only going to be a 3 book series, but apparently there’s more to come. It seems like The Box in the Woods is going to be a new ARC featuring Stevie Bell and her friends from Ellingham Academy. This time they’re going to be camp counselors. I can’t wait to see how this rattles our anxiety prone main character. Of course murder and mystery abound.

7. Witchshadow (The Witchlands #4) by Susan Dennard-- This was another series I marathoned while I was stuck in bed with Covid. I read them so quickly that I need to do a reread before the next one comes out. This is a Fantasy series that is so complex with such wonderful characters. I’m also planning on picking up the novella before I read this one.

8. Untitled (Crescent City #2) by Sarah J. Maas-- Am I a little bit Maas Trash? Just a little. I read and thoroughly enjoyed the Throne of Glass series, but never picked up the A Court of Thorns and Roses. But when I saw this urban fantasy come out last year I had to read the first one. I’m a little nervous because I thought the first kind of stood on its own a little. I don’t know where the story is going to go from here. I just know that I’ll enjoy the ride. The first book is about a girl attempting to solve her best friend’s murder with an angel who’s got a bit of an attitude.

9. Nowhere (Skyward #3) by Brandon Sanderson-- This is one of the ones that we still aren’t 100% sure it’s coming out in 2021, but I need it. I loved reading Skyward and Starsight so much. I love the characters and the adventures that they’ve gone on. Plus Sanderson can write some damn good space fight sequences. Skyward is about a girl who wants to becoming a pilot but struggles against her coward father’s legacy. And when she finds a spaceship the higher ups of this struggling Air Force can’t say no.

10. The Hawthorne Legacy (The Inheritance Games #2) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes-- The first book in this series left me shook. I shouldn’t be surprised because I love this author. But I have to know how the cliffhanger gets resolved. I need it in my life now. The book only recently got a title and a release date so I’m a little nervous is could get pushed back. The first one was like a combination of Knives out and Clue without all the murder.

11. The Righteous (The Beautiful #3) by Renee Ahdieh-- I am a little on the fence for this book. The Beautiful is a vampire story set in late 19th century New Orleans. And that’s all I needed to know before I bought the book. I was sold. And it does a good job of putting you there with the setting and the characters. But book 2 wasn’t my favorite. We had a character who was compelled to forget someone who was a vampire and therefore forget about all the magical/mystical things about the town. We also explored other realms with a portal which felt like it didn’t fit in this story. So, book 3 is going to have its work cut out for it if it’s going to get me to love it. At the same time, it’s Renee Ahdieh whose writing has always smacked me directly between the eyes.

12. Black Tabs by V.E. Schwab-- From GoodReads: “Forthcoming. Starring a female assassin in a future version of New York City. Tentatively titled ‘Black Tabs.’” That’s it. That is all I need to know. I love Schwab’s writing and a female assassin? In New York? Where’s the preorder button? Take my money.
