First and foremost… Happy New Year! I hope everyone’s safe and healthy. We made it through 2020!
Also… It’s been a while, huh? I haven’t been able to post regularly for the past month due to being extremely busy at work, and some personal emergencies. Things are looking good now though, so I’m looking forward to be able to spend more time reading and blogging!
I found this week’s TTT prompt to be both easy and difficult – it took me only about ten minutes to come up with ten releases that I’m anticipating, but at the same time, I already know I’m forgetting some really good books. Also, I’m pretty sure that some of my favorite authors will drop surprise releases, so I have no way to include those too. But anyway, I did the best I could. Without further ado, here are my most anticipated releases for the first half of 2021!










Chain of Iron by Cassandra Clare and The Iron Raven by Julie Kagawa are new installments in two of my favorite YA worlds; while The Soulmate Equation by Christina Lauren, The Intimacy Experiment by Rosie Danan, and The Road Trip by Beth O’Leary are new releases from authors whose 2020 books I call favorites.
I’m not going to lie… I did not really understand the hype with these two authors’ adult debuts, but I’m interested to see if I will enjoy their next releases – Second First Impressions by Sally Thorne and People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry.
I just know that I will adore Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid because she never disappoints; while Much Ado About You by Samantha Young and The Ex Talk by Rachel Lynn Solomon look really fun and just my kind of romance reads.
There you have it! What about you – which first half of 2021 releases are you looking forward to? Do we have any titles in common? Let me know!

I hope your personal and work lives slow down soon. When it rains, it pours!
And The Road Trip was on my list, too.

What a great list! In addition to the ones we have in common, I definitely want to read the new Beth O’Leary book. I didn’t know there was a new one on the way until I started seeing in on TTT lists today!

The Ex Talk looks so good. I’m really loving the idea of a public radio backdrop.

Wow! Almost half of our lists were the same, and the ones that you have here that aren’t on my top 10 are still almost all on my TBR! Hope we both love them all!!

I’ve been seeing Chain of Iron everywhere today. I haven’t ever read any of Cassandra Clare’s books, but they’ve always been so popular. The Ex Talk is also one I’ve been eyeing the last few days! I don’t particularly like romance, but the synopsis sounds so good. I hope you enjoy these!
