Hi, everyone! Every year on January 1st, I post all the Picture Books, Middle Grade, YA, and Adult books that I'm looking forward to reading in that year. I always have so much fun putting this post together! Because I love getting a opportunity to see all the books I'm looking forward to reading, all together in one post! AND because it makes me so happy when someone reads this post 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'm trying something new, and not including covers this year. I love covers, BUT I want to try and make this post more cohesive, and since so many books don't yet have covers, I thought this might overall look better. Let me know what you think!
I included a few books here I've already read and enjoyed, because I wanted to encourage people to add them to their TBR list (if they haven't already). I've made a note underneath those books.
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. And this year I know I'm a bit behind on researching them (Plus, I only added books that had Goodreads pages, and some just don't have them yet.). But I'm really happy with the list!
Books are organized by category (PB, MG, YA, etc.) and by authors last name. (In theory, but I was once again tired when I was putting together this post, so I may have messed that up. One day I will not wait until the week between Christmas and New Year's to write this post! But that was not this year.)
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! :)
