My Top-Priority Reads for 2021 – a Never Ending TBR

It’s not a secret that I haven’t been reading a lot the last couple of years. I’m pretty sure that I burned out, actually? Yet 2021 started sur les chapeaux de roues and I’m so excited about reading again! I thought I’d list the books I’m most excited about reading, so here we go!

• Return of the Thief by Megan Whalen Turner : Eugenides is one of my all-time-favorite character and I’m so excited about reading the last book of this beloved series!
• Our Violent Ends by Chloe Gong : I’m so scared, alright??? But it seems that I like torturing myself (PLEASE DON’T DIE OKAY)
• Chainbreaker by Tara Sim : I’ve read the first book a while ago and never came back to it even though I really liked it, so it is time!
• The Dragon Republic by R.F. Kuang : Again, I absolutely ADORED The Poppy War back when I read it and I genuinely don’t understand why I still haven’t read the sequel.
• Jade War by Fonda Lee : This one has been on my kindle since its release, and to be honest, I’ve been SCARED TO DEATH about reading it because Fonda Lee’s characters mean so much to me. But 2021 will be the year I stop being a coward, SO. Here we go.

• Darling by Kayla Ancrum : The Wicker King is one of my favorite book of all times, and I simply adore K. Ancrum’s writing. Plus it’s a thriller!! So exciting!
• A Lesson in Vengeance by Victoria Lee : Someday I’ll be brave enough to write a post explaining why Victoria’s duology meant so much to me, but until then, I’ll be impatiently waiting for their dark academy sapphic new novel 😍
• Twice Shy by Sarah Hogle : You Deserve Each Other ruined me in the best way possible and was one of my favorite book of last year, so of course I cannot wait to get my hands on Twice Shy!
• The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang : I’m 100% here for Quang and the OCD rep!!!!
• One Last Stop by Casey Mcquiston : it’s sapphic!! there’s time-travel!!! 🥰
• The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri : if you haven’t read Empire of Sand, what are you waiting for???? It’s so well-crafted and filled with such endearing characters 🥰 You just have to meet them!
