Down the TBR Hole #171

 

Down The TBR Hole is a meme created by lost in a story that revolves around cleansing your TBR of all those books you’re never going to read and sort through it all to know what’s actually on there.

Most of you probably know this feeling, your Goodreads TBR pile keeps growing and growing and it seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. You keep adding, but you add more than you actually read. And then when you’re scrolling through your list, you realize that you have no idea what half the books are about and why you added them. Well that’s going to change!

It works like this:

• Go to your goodreads to-read shelf.
• Order on ascending date added.
• Take the first 5 (or 10 (or even more!) if you’re feeling adventurous) books. Of course, if you do this weekly, you start where you left off the last time.
• Read the synopses of the books
• Decide: keep it or should it go

I am going to remove sequels for books when I haven’t read book one.  They may or may not get added back later.

 

 

I’m getting to more recent books now and won’t be removing as many.  Because of this, I’m not going to do 20 per post.  Probably 10 or 15.

My Most Anticipated 2021 Adult Fiction Releases

I read mostly YA, but I try to read a handful of adult books every year, too.  I found some that sound really good and I’m sure I’ll find more through the year.  These are the ones I’m most looking forward to for now.

These books are in no particular order except for the first two.  They are the highest on my list.

My Most Anticipated 2021 Graphic Novels

 

I’ve really started to like reading graphic novels.  There are quite a few coming out this year that sound really good, but I’m just going to share ten of them.  

These are in no particular order.

Signing Up For The 2021 New Release Challenge

 

 

The New Release Challenge is hosted by (un) Conventional Bookworms.  You can find all the sign up info HERE.  I’m sure I’ll be horrible at updating, but I do read a lot of new books each year.

My Most Anticipated 2021 Middle Grade Books

There are quite a few middle grade books coming out that sound good.  I had to cut some from my list so I would only share 10.

These are in no particular order.  Some are sequels and may contain spoilers from earlier books in the descriptions.

A Look Back: Did I read my most anticipated books of 2020?

 

 

I wanted to look back and see what books I was most excited for in 2020.  I always like to see if I actually read them or not since so much changes for me and my reading moods.

Review of Glimpsed by G.F. Miller (physical arc)

 

Glimpsed by G.F. Miller

Perfect for fans of Geekerella and Jenn Bennett, this charming, sparkly rom-com follows a wish-granting teen forced to question if she’s really doing good—and if she has the power to make her own dreams come true.

Charity is a fairy godmother. She doesn’t wear a poofy dress or go around waving a wand, but she does make sure the deepest desires of the student population at Jack London High School come true. And she knows what they want even better than they do because she can glimpse their perfect futures.

But when Charity fulfills a glimpse that gets Vibha crowned homecoming queen, it ends in disaster. Suddenly, every wish Charity has ever granted is called into question. Has she really been helping people? Where do these glimpses come from, anyway? What if she’s not getting the whole picture?

Making this existential crisis way worse is Noah—the adorkable and (in Charity’s opinion) diabolical ex of one of her past clients—who blames her for sabotaging his prom plans and claims her interventions are doing more harm than good. He demands that she stop granting wishes and help him get his girl back. At first, Charity has no choice but to play along. But soon, Noah becomes an unexpected ally in getting to the bottom of the glimpses. Before long, Charity dares to call him her friend…and even starts to wish he were something more. But can the fairy godmother ever get the happily ever after?
