Books I Didn’t Get To This Year But Need Too

Dec 19, 2021

There are a lot of books that I want to read. My TBR is never-ending and I just keep on adding to it every day. So today I thought I would share some of the books that I wanted to read this year, but I didn’t get around to it.

I didn’t read a lot of new releases in 2021, I’m not sure why. I just did a lot of reading of backlist titles from authors and books that have been on my physical tbr for a while now. So there are going to be quite a few books on this list that are new releases that I cannot wait to start. There are also some books on here that I’ve wanted to read for a while and just getting around to it this year. I’ve said this before but I’m a mood reader and sometimes I just don’t want to read something at all.

But enough of all this, let’s get right into it. There is a mix of new releases and backlist titles. As always these are no order, let’s go.

The Atlas Six (The Atlas #1) by Olivie Blake | Twisted Games (Twisted #2) by Ana Huang. | The Bridge Kingdom (The Bridge Kingdom #1) by Danielle L. Jensen | Under the Whispering Door by T.J. Klune.

The Jasmine Throne (Burning Kingdoms #1) by Tasha Suri | The Unbroken (Magic of the Lost #1) by C.L. Clark. | Gild (The Plated Prisoner #1) by Raven Kennedy | Ariadne by Jennifer Saint.

Promises and Pomegranates (Monsters & Muses #1) by Sav R. Miller | Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley. | Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo | Iron Widow (Iron Widow #1) by Xiran Jay Zhao.

Daughter of the Deep by Rick Riordan | A Lesson in Thorns (Thornchapel #1) by Sierra Simone. | A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor (Tempting Monsters #1) by Kathryn Moon | Air Awakens (Air Awakens #1) by Elise Kova.

And there we go. Those are the books that I didn’t get to in 2021 but I want to get to next year! Have you read any of these books, what did you think of them? Are you planning on reading them? So, let’s chat!

New-To-Me Authors I Discovered In 2021

Dec 9, 2021

I love discovering new-to-me authors and 2021 was the year for it. I read so many new authors this year and it was just fantastic. There were a lot of reasons why I read so many new-to-me authors this year, but mainly TikTok was the drive.

Some of these authors I’ve only read one book and some I’ve read nearly their whole backlist. I have this bad habit that if a series is completed I will most likely finish it in a few days/weeks depending on the series. Espeically if it’s on Kindle Unlimited. As most of the year has gone by, pretty much all of these authors write romance. but I love it.

Anyway, let’s get right into it. Here are some of the authors that I discovered in 2021 that were new to me. As always these are in no order.

Ali Hazelwood: I just finished The Love Hypothesis recently and adored it, so I’m so ready to read more from Ali Hazelwood. I can’t keep this one in-store at all, I sold out the weekend I got it in.

Kathryn Moon: I think Kathryn Moon has become one of my favourite authors and I cannot wait till I can read more from her. Lola and the Millionaires is one of my favourite books that I have read this year and I seriously want more people to read them.

Dana Isaly: Another author that I discovered because of Tiktok, that I have come to really enjoy. Very steamy, dark and a little taboo. Dana’s books are great to just read and escape.

Sophie Lark: I just started to read Sophie Lark recently, but I have enjoyed each book I’ve read so far. I’ve read all the Brutal Birthright series, as well as the first two in the Kingmakers series. I’m really excited to keep on reading more.

Candace Robinson and Amber R. Duell: I discovered this duo via Ely and let me tell you I love their Faries of Oz series so much. If you like fae as well as the Wizard of Oz, pick this series up.

Scarlett St. Clair: I have read a few books now from Scarlett St. Clair and I have enjoyed them all. I know they are not for everyone, but if you like darker romances with vampires then her newest release is for you!

R.M. Virtues: This author has been on my list for a little while now but finally got to reading Drag Me Up, and I really enjoyed it a lot. So I am really looking forward to reading more and more from them.

Tate James: I went through 2 series of Tates this year and I plan to read more next year. I love the grittiness of her romances. They aren’t clean, they are sharp and tangles and it’s great.

And there we go, those are some of the new-to-me authors that I read in 2021. Have you read any of these authors? What did you think? Are you planning too? Let’s chat!
