Can you believe it’s mid-December already? I feel like this month is going by quicker than most, which is saying something for 2020. Most months lasted at least a year, right? I’m sorta glad for it though, not only because I’m ready for a new year, but because I’ve had my Christmas shopping done for weeks and I can’t wait to give out the gifts I got people!
I’ve also been doing pretty well on reading, which I’m happy for because I had a slump that lasted from August to early November. Thanks to that, I didn’t get around to reading as many books as I wanted to this year, so I’m taking this post to plot out what books I would really like to get around to reading next year. These are going to be books that I’ve had on my TBR for a while, including 2020 releases, as opposed to upcoming 2021 releases… I’ll do a separate post for that.
21 Books I Want to Read in 2021
Adult Fiction
Miss You – Kate Eberlen
The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman
The Camera Never Lies – David Rawlings
The Noel Diary – Richard Paul Evans
Lost December – Richard Paul Evans
500 Miles From You – Jenny Colgan
The Little Beach Street Bakery – Jenny Colgan
And Then There Were None – Agatha Christie
The Loveliest Chocolate Shop in Paris – Jenny Colgan

YA Fiction
Ten After Closing – Jessica Bayliss
Chasing Lucky – Jenn Bennett
Dreamland – Sarah Dessen
The Truth About Forever – Sarah Dessen
Secrets and Scones – Laura Remington
Windfall – Jennifer E. Smith
Just a Normal Tuesday – Kim Turrisi
This Train is Being Held – Ismee Amiel Williams
Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac – Gabrielle Zevin

Memoirs
Talking As Fast as I Can – Lauren Graham
Confessions of a Bookseller – Shaun Blythel
Paris, My Sweet – Amy Thomas

It shouldn’t be a problem for me to get to these books, as long as I don’t hit a large reading slump again. Hopefully, as a mood reader, I’ll also be in the mood to read all of these!
What books do you want to get to off your TBR next year?

I noticed a couple books with Paris in the title, one with Chocolate also. A humble suggestion of a book that might interest you: “Simone LaFray and the Chocolatiers’ Ball” by S.P. O’Farrell. I’m reading it and really enjoying it. The book is YA (Simone is a 12-year-old spy), and the story is set in Paris.

Great list! I was actually gifted The Invisible
library series years ago, but I’ve still never read it 🤦♀️. That should be in my 21 TBR as well! 😂 By the way, I love your blog and I nominated you for a book award if you have time to do it! ❤️

It seems so interesting but I really have to be in the mood for fantasy of any kind before I can pick it up😂
Aww thanks! I’ll definitely check it out and do it in the next day or so😁
