Most Anticipated Releases for the First Half of 2021

Most Anticipated Releases for the First Half of 2021

January 5, 2021 Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 6 Comments

This week I’m sharing my most anticipated releases for the first half of 2021. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

2020 was a year and while I may have lacked on reading books from last year. I hope that I can do better in 2021. So today I’m sharing my most anticipated releases for the first half of 2021. I tried to do a mix of romance and YA. While I am mostly reading romance now, I still read a good chunk of young adult. And there are some great ones coming out this year. But enough of this let’s go. Like always these are in no order. 

Lore by Alexandra Bracken: It should be no surprise that this has made it onto my list. As soon as I read the synopsis for this one I added it to my tbr. It Greek mythology with a twist. I mean it sounds fantastic and like something I won’t be able to put down. I’ve already been hearing great things about this one and I’m ready for some battles. 

Concrete Rose (The Hate U Give #0) by Angie Thomas: You all know that I adored The Hate U Give and when I heard that this was going to be published, I was even more excited. This sounds like it’s going to be such an interesting story and I’m intrigued to see where it is taken. Plus I love Angie’s writing. 

The Knockout by S.A. Patel: This is my type of YA book! I just love how this sounds and I can’t wait to read it. It’s a YA, diverse, sports romance, what could be better. I haven’t heard much about it yet but I am excited. 

Wild Rain (Women Who Dare #2) by Beverly Jenkins: This is the second book in the Women Who Dare series. I read Rebel last year and fell in love and this one sounds just as fantastic. It’s high on my most anticipated list that is for sure. I adore the characters that Jenkins writes and the stories that she explores and I can’t wait for more. 
 
A Lady’s Formula for Love (The Secret Scientists of London #1) by Elizabeth Everett: As soon as I read the synopsis for this one I had to add it to my list. While I’m not a massive fan of Victorian historical romances this sounds fantastic. I love HR that really explore and create complex female characters that push boundaries. 
 
Chain of Iron (The Last Hours #2) by Cassandra Clare: I mean there should be no surprise that this has made my list. It’s one of my most anticipated books for the whole year. It’s Cassandra Clare so I know I will be reading this the day it comes out for sure! I’m just so excited. I can’t wait to see what happens next and where the story is taken. Because I seriously never know. 
 
Winter’s Orbit by Everina Maxwell: This was crept up on me. I didn’t know that I needed it until I looked into it a little more. Science Fiction isn’t something that I read a lot, but this sounds just fantastic and I can’t resist. Also, there have been some great reviews so far. 
 
Perfect on Paper by Sophie Gonzales: I adored Sophie’s debut last year and this one sounds just as fantastic. And I mean it’s #LoveOzYA so you know I want to read it even more. It just sounds like it’s going to be messy, interesting and addicting and I am ready. 
 
One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston: Another one that no one should be surprised is on my list. I adored and I mean adored Red, White And Royal Blue. So you bet I’ll be getting this one as soon as possible. It just sounds so damn good and I’m not sure if I’m ready for it. But I will do it. 
 
The Bride Bet (Girl Meets Duke #4) by Tessa Dare: I’ve been reading this series the last few months and I have fallen in love with all the characters and the world and I can’t wait to read more. I’m holding off reading book 3, so I can jump into this one as soon as possible. But I can’t wait. 
 
***
And that is it for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday and the first one for 2021. What books can’t you wait to read in the next few months? Do we share any that is the same? Let’s chat!

    I haven’t read many historical romances, but both Wild Rain and A Lady’s Formula for Love. Definitely think I’ll be checking both of these out this year.

Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Vict Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Victoria Wilder’s Bourbon Boys series, and as soon as I heard she was writing a new series, around whiskey and women. Well, hell year. It took me a little bit to get into the book, but after a few chapters, I was hooked. 

Wyn is hiding, hiding from everyone, even when she is there. She is hiding behind so much, and damn, I don’t blame her. We don’t know everything from the start, but we start piecing things together, and my heart broke. And I was terrified for her. But she is a Crowne woman, and that means something. 

We’ve met Julian before, and while he intrigued me before, I am invested now. He is charming, secretive in the best way and will do anything at this point for Wyn. But he is also lost, and somehow he finds his way to Rumour and back into Wyn’s life. 

The romance is hot and steamy and everything that you want. The tension and chemistry in this one is high. Neither Wyn nor Julian wants to really give in or give up on one another, but a lot is standing in their way, honestly, mainly themselves. I just sat there giggling half the time because they are swoon-worthy. 

I would say this is the darkest Victoria Wilder book I’ve read, so double-check those trigger warnings before jumping in because there is a lot that happens. And I don’t think it’s going to die down any time soon because these Crowne women are badass, and I know things are only just getting started. 

Overall, Rumors & Whiskey is hot and sexual. The tension is dripping off the page, and then you are thrown into the terror and horrors of Rumour. You don’t know what is going to happen next, you don’t know who to trust, and there are so many more secrets that have yet to be revealed. I know I am ready for more. Are you?

Thank you to @atriabooksaus for an earc of Rumors & Whiskey 🥃. I’m in love.

March was a better reading month than February for March was a better reading month than February for me, and while I’m still stuck in my heated rivalry fanfiction era I managed to scrap out of it a little this month. 

I reread four books from the sweet omegaverse series and honestly had the best time. I also read two of my most anticipated reads of the year and had a blast. Sadly I did also have my first dnf of the year.

What did you read this March? Any standouts? What are you looking forward to reading in April? Let’s chat!
