Today I thought I’d share what books I’m really looking for ward to this year; I should have made this list up last month for the beginning of the year, especially when some books on this list are now published. But c’est la vie! Life gets in the way sometimes and my coordination hasn’t been as on point as it could be.
Anyways, my list consists of pretty much all the genres I’m reading and following. Let me write now: I am super, super, super hyped for all of the releases on this list. Many I’d be desperate to get an ARC of, many I’ve already preordered, or will 100% be buying on publication day, and many I hope will be included in the book clubs / book boxes I subscribe to.
I haven’t organised the post in any apparent chronological or alphabetical order… yeah, another example of my lack of coordination lately. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy my list and see some epic books you’re also looking forward to, or perhaps even see one by an author you’ve missed. Or, maybe I’ve missed one you think I’d like to add to my TBR, if so, please let me know!
