Books On My Summer 2021 TBR

Books On My Summer 2021 TBR

January 12, 2021 Posted by angelreads Uncategorized 4 Comments

summer 2021 tbr

This week I’m sharing my summer tbr for 2021. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

It’s getting right into summer here in Australia. So today I thought I would share the books I hope to read in the coming months. Some of these are new books, and some are ones that have been on my tbr for a little while. Like always these are in no order. Let’s Go! 

summer tbrThe Wallflower Wager (Girl Meets Duke #3) by Tessa Dare: I read the first two books in this series and adored them last year. So I am super excited to pick this up this summer. The fourth book also comes out sometimes this year so I want to get to this one before that. 

The Things We Leave Unfinished by Rebecca Yarros: I mean there couldn’t be a new Rebecca Yarros coming out and it not be on my TBR. I didn’t think I could love Rebecca Yarros more, but then she goes and writes this. 

From Blood and Ash (Blood and Ash #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout: I’ve been wanting to read this one since it came out and I haven’t managed to either grab a copy or read it. Hopefully, I can get to it in the next couple of months or so. 

The Stray Prince (Royals #2) by Ella Fields: I didn’t know that this was coming out until the other day. I read A King So Cold last year and was taken by it and now I’m so intrigued where this story is going to go. It was one of those books that I was not expecting at all. And now I’m both super nervous and excited. 

The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett: This has been on my to-buy list for months and then I got it for Christmas and I can’t wait to dig into it. I have only heard good things about it and that makes me super excited. It’s not my usual thing – like at all. But I’m looking forward to it.

These Violent Delights (These Violent Delights #1) by Chloe Gong: I picked this one in November, but I haven’t had the chance to read it yet. But this is right up my alley and something that I hope I will really enjoy. I adore retellings, and Shakespear ones and even more interesting. 

Chasing Lucky by Jenn Bennett: This is another one that I picked up a few months ago but haven’t had the chance to read it yet. I’ve adored all the Jenn Bennett books I’ve picked up before and this one sounds exactly what I will love and I can’t wait for that. 

Lore by Alexandra Bracken: I’m just waiting for this one to come in at work so I can start it. I haven’t read a book from Bracken before, but I am super excited to read this. It’s much more my thing then her other books and I mean it’s Greek Mythology so yes, please. 

Wild Rain (Women Who Dare #2) by Beverly Jenkins: I am so excited to read this one. It’s the perfect summer read. It sounds so damn interesting and I’m so ready for some new Beverly Jenkins. 

Get a Life, Chloe Brown (The Brown Sisters #1) by Talia Hibbert: This is another one that I have recently received and I can’t wait to dig into it. I don’t read a lot of general contemporary romances, but I am super excited about it.  

And those are just some of the books that I plan to read this summer. Yes, and I mean plan. Because I am horrible at keeping to tbrs. But anyway have you read any of these? What did you think? Let’s Chat!

    I love The Wallflower Wager, Chasing Lucky, and Get a Life! I’m interested in your thoughts of These Violent Delights. Personally, it didn’t work for me, but I know a lot of readers loved it!

    I had These Violent Delights from Netgalley but unfortunately I wasn’t able to finish it before it expired, so I hope to be able to get a finished copy at some point.

    Lore has been hanging around on my TBR pile. Here’s hoping it’s as good as it sounds!

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?

January was a really solid reading month. I read s January was a really solid reading month. I read some books that had been on my tbr for some time, reread a few things that peaked my interest. I also started a few new series. And just had a good time!

I just had a really good start to the year. While February is a little slow so far I’m looking forward to what I can pick up.

What did you read in January? Any 5-star reads? Let’s chat!
