It’s no secret around here that I’m an avid reader. Especially throughout this last year, reading has been a priority and a form of self-care for me. I think a lot of people are leaning into reading more, so today I am rounding up some of the most anticipated books of 2021! Some of these books are already published, so you can order online or download to your kindle, and others will be published over the next few months so you can pre-order them. There’s a little bit of everything in this mix – fiction, historical fiction, thrillers and contemporary romance! Wherever you’re looking to escape to, I’ve got ya covered! As always, you can see all of my past book reviews HERE and my Amazon shop with all book recommendations HERE.
P.S. all of the publishing dates are subject to change, but these are the dates provided when I was writing this post! All books are available for pre-order as a physical book or e-book. Happy reading! xx
