Do you have any favorite authors?? Who are they??

Hello, 2021!

HELLO, 2021!

Last Reads of 2020

Hello, Bookworms!

How are we already halfway through December? I can't believe there are only 15 days left in 2020. I still have so much reading to do! And while I'm definitely not going to reach my goal of 150 books this year, and I am still hoping to hit the 100 mark....

*fingers crossed*

So with only 2 weeks left in the year, here are the last few books I am hoping to read before 2020 ends!

Vow of Thieves by Mary E. Pearson
The Twelves Dates of Christmas by Jenny Bayliss
Mind the Gap, Dash and Lily by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan
Snapped by Alexa Martin
How to Fail at Flirting by Denise Williams
The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

Percy Jackson's Greek Gods & Greek Heroes by Rick Riordan
Written in the Stars by Alexandria
The Duke and I by Julia Quinn

I know what you're thinking, that's a pretty ambitious list to read in 2 weeks, but I'm actually right in the middle of half of these, so they just need to be finished. :)  Now that school is out for the holidays, and it's the hubby's last week of work for the year, I am hoping to have a bit more reading time. We shall see!

Do you have any last reads that you're hoping to finish before 2020 ends??

10 Books I Meant to Read in 2020, But Didn't Get To...

If you have been following my blog for a while, or my Instagram, then you probably know that 2020 has not been the best reading year for me, unfortunately. I had planned to read SO many books, but instead fought reading slump after reading slump throughout the whole year...

(Reading slumps: Worst experiences ever. I do not recommend. 0/5 stars.)

I have SO much hope that 2021 will be better, and that I will get to tackle all of the books I had hoped to read this year then, and more!

But until then... here are a few books I had hoped to read this year...

The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon
The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty



The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins
The Damned by Renee Ahdieh



The Gilded Wolves by Rhosani Chokshi
Call Down the Hawk by Maggie Stiefvater



Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness



The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

So those are just some of the books I had hoped to read this year, but didn't get to... (And some of these have been on my TBR for even longer than that. yikes.) Here's hoping that I can get to these next year!

Are there any books that you had hoped to read this year, but didn't get to??
