Some upcoming 2021 releases I’m NOT excited for.
So this post is a little click-bait-y 😅 I’m not here to bash any books!
There are just TONS of books coming out in 2021, including some super hyped ones, that I’m personally not interested in picking up. Because of that, I’m not going to have many opportunities to mention them. So I wanted to make a post to share some other releases I might not otherwise talk about!
I’ve linked the Goodreads page as well as pre-order links if you’re interested in checking any of these out (not affiliate links)
This list is (obviously) not extensive. I just chose some of the biggest titles from the first half of the year.

The cover for Cast in Firelight really reminds me of the cover for “The Princess Will Save You” so much so that I took a double take lol! Great post. 🙂

It is! Charlie Bowater did these two, Bone Criers Moon, Star Daughter, Sorcery of Thorns, etc. Their artwork is everywhere!

Great post. I loved A Curse so Dark and Lonely because of Harper the main character. I don’t want to read the next book or a Vow so Bold and Deadly. I haven’t read any Cassandra Clare. I’m never sure whether to read any of her work 🙈

I haven’t read any Cassandra Clare either! All of her books take place in the same world and I just can’t commit to reading like 20 books to get to the new stuff 😅
