Hi, everyone! Every year (usually January 1st), I post all the Picture Books, Middle Grade, YA, Adult, Graphic Novels, and Non-Fiction that I'm looking forward to reading in that year. I have so much fun putting this post together every year! One, because I love getting a opportunity to see all the books I'm looking forward to reading together in one post! Two, because it makes me so happy when someone reads this list and they tell me they added books to their TBR list because of it!
As always, I want to say a few things first!
I will read books other than the ones listed here!
I know I missed some books, simply because I know I always miss at least a couple. But I'm really happy with how the list turned out this year!
Books are organized by category (PB, MG, YA, etc.) and by authors last name.
Books with a * next to them are debut books! It's easier to find and support debut authors this way.
I apologize if I got any titles, covers, release dates, etc. wrong. If I did, please let me know and I'll try to fix it!
Here we go! :)
