The 2020 Books I Meant to Read But Didn’t Get To

The 2020 Books I Meant to Read But Didn’t Get To

January 19, 2021 Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 5 Comments

This week I’m sharing the 2020 books that I meant to get to last year and didn’t. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

There are always so many books coming out and last year was a little crazy. I didn’t purchase my normal amount of books and I missed a whole lot of new releases and that is what today’s list is. These are the books that I planned to read in 2020, but just didn’t get to. 

There is a mix of YA and Romance ones here, but mostly YA. I think the main reason for this is because I mostly purchase my romance on ebooks predominately. While everything else I mostly get physical books. 

A Song of Wraiths and Ruin (A Song of Wraiths and Ruin #1) by Roseanne A. Brown | Legendborn (Legendborn #1) by Tracy Deonn | Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall | The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett 

 

From Blood and Ash (Blood and Ash #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout | Blood & Honey (Serpent & Dove #2) by Shelby Mahurin | The Widow of Rose House by Diana Biller | None Shall Sleep by Ellie Marney
 
 
Dear Justyce (Dear Martin #2) by Nic Stone | The Extraordinaries (The Extraordinaries #1) by T.J. Klune
 
And that is it for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday and the books that I meant to read in 2020. I hope that I can get to them this year.

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!
