Books I Want To Get To This Year

Books I Want To Get To This Year

March 2, 2021 Posted by angelreads Discussions, TBR 1 Comment

Today I thought I would share the books that I hope that I can get to this year. These are either books that have been on my TBR a while or are coming out this year that I really want to read.

If you didn’t know I’m a full-time bookseller and I’ve worked in a bookstore for nearly 4 years now so I see a lot of books that I end up buying. Add to that the fact that I have been blogging for nearly 10 years and I have a big TBR. So today I’m sharing the books that I want to get to this year. Like always these are in no order. 

Thicker Than Water by Brigid Kemmerer: I honestly have no idea why I haven’t read this one yet. I have no excuses. But I hope that I can get to it this year. It sounds exactly like a book that I will love. The romance sounds fantastic and I have heard some great things about it. It just sounds like my thing. 

Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys: Salt of the Sea is one of my all-time favourite books and I have heard nothing but good things about Between Shades of Gray and I need to get on it. It’s my type of historical fiction and it just sounds brilliant. 

Tone Deaf by Olivia Rivers: This has been on my list for years now, ever since it came out really. And I have no idea why I haven’t read it yet. It sounds like such a fascinating book plus it features disability and you know that is what I am always looking for. 

Not If I See You First by Eric Lindstrom: This is another book that features a disability that has been on my TBR for some time. I’ve read another book from the author and really enjoyed it, so I have some high hopes for this one. 

The Bromance Book Club (Bromance Book Club #1) by Lyssa Kay Adams: Let’s just say it’s not my fault that I haven’t read this one. I have waited nearly a year or this book to arrive and hopefully, it will come soon. Cause I want to read it so bad! 

Chasing Lucky by Jenn Bennett: I’m hoping to get to this one in the next couple of months. I love Jenn Bennett and this one just sounds fantastic and exactly what I would love. But I haven’t picked it up yet for some reasons. Hopefully soon. 

These Violent Delights (These Violent Delights #1) by Chloe Gong: I bought this late last year and still need to get on in. It’s Shakespeare retelling and I love those – I love any retellings really. I’ve heard so many good things about this and I want to get to it before the sequel comes out. 

The One You Fight For (The Ones Who Got Away #3) by Roni Loren: I read the first two books in this series last year and really enjoyed reading them – a lot. And now I’m really excited to finish this series off. But also these are super emotional and I have to take breaks between the books. 

Girl Out of Water by Laura Silverman: This has been on my TBR for a while and I can’t believe that I haven’t read it yet. I hope I can do it in the next couple of months. 

Circe by Madeline Miller: I cannot give you an answer as to why I haven’t read this one. I got it as soon as it came out but just haven’t read it yet. But I feel like I’m going into a mythology kick so I might pick it up soon. Again I have heard such good things about this one. 

From Blood and Ash (Blood and Ash #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout: I finally got my copy a few weeks ago so I can read it soon. I’ve been putting it off for a while cause everyone seems to love it. But I’ve also really enjoyed all the other books I’ve read from Jennifer so I should just get on it. 

The Stray Prince (Royals #2) by Ella Fields: I totally didn’t realise that there was going to be a sequel to A King so Cold, but I grabbed this one as soon as it was out. I’ve been so nervous to read it though because it could go anywhere and I’m not ready for that. 

And that is it. Those are some of the books that I want to read this year! Have you read any of these books? What did you think? Are you planning on reading them? Let’s Chat!

    I’ll be reading of Blood and Ash this year too. I hope you finish The Ones That Got Away series. Kincaid was my favorite story.

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!
