2021 Releases I Was Excited to Read But Didn’t Get To

2021 Releases I Was Excited to Read But Didn’t Get To

Jan 18, 2022

This week I’m sharing the 2021 releases that I was excited to read but didn’t get to. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I read a lot of books last year, but I still wasn’t able to get through everything that I wanted to read. So today, I’m sharing the books that were released last year that I didn’t pick up but wanted to. They are mostly romances, but young adult books that make an appearance. Anyway let’s go, as always these are in no order. 

Bombshell (Hell’s Belles #1) by Sarah MacLean. | The Ex Hex (Ex Hex #1) by Erin Sterling | Her Soul to Take (Souls Trilogy #1) by Harley Laroux | Yes & I Love You (Say Everything #1) by Roni Loren.

Wild Rain (Women Who Dare #2) by Beverly Jenkins | Reel (Hollywood Renaissance #1) by Kennedy Ryan |Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo | The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun.

Daughter of the Deep by Rick Riordan | Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley.

And there we go. Those are the 2021 releases that I was excited about but wasn’t able to get to. I am really hoping that I can get to some of them this year. I actually do own most of them so that is a good start. What did you want to read last year but didn’t? Have you read anything on my list? Let’s Chat! 

Happy New Year | Welcome to 2022

Happy New Year | Welcome to 2022

Jan 1, 2022

happy new year 2022

2021 was a year that was very up and down. We never knew what was going to be thrown at us, we never do. But let’s hope that 2022 is just a little better. 

I wanted to quickly jump on and wish everyone here a happy new year. I wish that you all have a lovely day and hope that 2022 will be a fantastic year for you all. The last two years have been rough on all of us and a global pandemic that just doesn’t want to stop has made everything that more difficult. I hope that you are all finding something bright in your lives to get you through. 

There are so many books already on my 2022 tbr that I cannot wait to read and share my thoughts with you all. With so many books coming out I don’t even know where to start. I want to make 2022 another year and just read what I want and not care about what others think. I hope that you all can do the same. 

What were some of your favourite books that you read in 2021? I’m still debating and trying to figure out mine right now. What books are you looking forward to reading in 2022? What’s at the top of your list? There are so many amazing romances and young adult books that have already made it onto my tbr that I cannot wait to read. 

I also want to expand my reading in 2022 and start reading more manga, comics and graphic novels. I think that is my plan for the year – that’s for sure. What are some of your favourites? What should I read? 

Well, that is all from me. I hope that 2021 wasn’t a horrible year for you and if it was I hope that 2022 brings your some more joy. I hope that you all have a fantastic year this year. And read as many books as you want. 

Top Ten Best Books I Read In 2021

Top Ten Best Books I Read In 2021

Dec 28, 2021

This week I’m sharing the best books I read in 2021. Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I want to preface this with, I’m writing this post in the middle of December so I might miss a few that I end up reading later this month. But I will be sure to talk about then in 2022. I read pretty much all romacne this year, so most of the books that you are going to see on this list are romance. And I loved it so much. At the moment that I’m writing this post, I’ve read 188 books in 2021. So knocking this list down to 10 of my favourite reads is hard.

These aren’t just the books that came out this year. There are books on this list that were published a few years ago and I’m just reading them now. There are also 2021 releases on this list. It’s a mix of everything. So let’s go. As always these are in no order. I am also not including re-reads this in the list. 

The Wallflower Wager (Girl Meets Duke #3) by Tessa Dare | Chain of Iron (The Last Hours #2) by Cassandra Clare. | Get a Life, Chloe Brown (The Brown Sisters #1) by Talia Hibbert | Heartstopper, Volume Four (Heartstopper #4) by Alice Oseman.

Neon Gods (Dark Olympus #1) by Katee Robert. | Lola & the Millionaires: Part One (Sweet Omegaverse #2) by Kathryn Moon. | With You Forever (Bergman Brothers #4) by Chloe Liese | Punderworld, Volume 1 (Punderworld #1) by Linda Šejić. 

King of Battle and Blood (Adrian X Isolde #1) by Scarlett St. Clair | War (The Four Horsemen #2) by Laura Thalassa.  

***

And there we go. Those are some of the best books I read in 2021. Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Are you planning on reading them? What books made it to your list?

I had such a great time reading this book. I didn’ I had such a great time reading this book. I didn’t know what to expect, but at the same time it was exactly what I wanted.

Driven is an entertaining, suspenseful new adult romance debut that has a second chance romance, is brothers best friend and has fast cars. 

It’s one of those books that is perfect for those looking for something that they won’t want to put down, leave them second guessing and wanting more. 

It’s full of second changes, finding yourself and falling for the one person that is forbidden. 

This is all such a great debut novel that makes me want to read more from Emma J Warrender.
