book releases for '21 that im waiting for

well. 
i'm pretty sure we all have similar excitement for what coming out in the next year ... i'm going to be using my library quite a lot next year! 

so, let's get down to business 
(no huns here though... maybe some fae instead) 


in no particular order: 

 

 this installment follows our lovely side characters Nesta and Cassian so yay! Though I am still waiting Tamlin's book... he deserves better! 


 

 While i still have yet to even look at 'chain of gold', this will be a lovely new addition to my shelves for me to stare at for a while   
 

 
 the next installment of the disney's "twisted tales" series is hercules-based and i am HERE FOR IT 


 

 assumed to be the last book in the series (sob!), i can't wait to see where Riggs takes us next... at least the pics don't give me nightmares anymore .. :) 

 


 who doesn't want a puck novel, i ask you?! i love this world.. can't wait to go back. if you haven't read the Iron Fey books - whatcha waiting for?!?

 


 while i'm unsure about this one, i love her stories. and more cardan? yes please. 

 


 a battle of fae? whats not to love. this one has been on my list for a while.... 

 


 sequel to 'the queens assassins', i am anxiously awaiting this one. though i feel like i need a reread of book one *shrug* 


 


 a new series that follows the aftermath of the 'beauty and the beast' story we all know and love. Anything Belle and I'm a sucker 
:) 

 

 i wasn't a fan of book 2 (as much as book 1) so we will see how this one holds up for me. some people are already reading the ARC and they * love * it ... but i do admit i have my concerns. 

 

 YESSSSSSS a new graceling novel! with the weirdo looking new covers, but HEY, it's more Bitterblue so i can't wait 



Who knows what i'll actually get to .. a few of these come out when the baby is due so obv not much reading will be done then (unless by some miracle he settles into a decent sleep routine and doesn't keep me up all night and day) but like i said, my library is usually pretty great with getting anticipated releases so i shouldn't have any problems getting them there.... though i may have to train manfriend how to pick them up for me. hmm. i'm also v.v. behind on my 2020 releases. sigh. however, i've come to terms with the fact that i won't be reading like a maniac for another few years. 


Happy reading everyone !

noooo-vember

What an insane year. 

even without the world going into chaos 


End of June, we lost my grandfather and then realized that i was a few weeks pregnant! so hello wrench in the plans.

which means my reading came to a full stop. 

which, is fine... though I was so on track to meet my goal of 200 books 

but oh well :) 


July I managed to read a few, in between being sick (ick!) 

- butterfly
- give and take 
- older men 
- crystal 
- # murdertrending 
- wayward son 
- unhoneymooners 
- speak 
- gravemaidens 
- sometimes i lie 
- party of two 
- raven 

September I read one, for a book club 
- darkest hour 

don't ask me what happened in any of these because I don't remember
* shrugs * 
 this put me at 162/200 for the year 
and then it all stopped 
though i have one on the go, so hopefully it's done by new years 
* crosses fingers * 



   I actually have a TBR for december. i'm feeelin a lot better these days and have some energy back. now that it's wintery outside, curling up with a book sounds like the best idea in the world

tbr for december is OVER ambitious but hey... 

 - the shadow of Kyoshi 
- crescent city 
- the stravaganza series 
- unbirthday 
- replica/ringer 
- virgin suicides 

i doubt half of these will be done, but ya never know. less work plus lockdown means i have oodles of time on my hands these days (but i'm also super tired so we will seee!) 




again, after the craziness of the summer, life took the biggest detour in our plans. with the baby, and the loss of grandpa, things came down the pipeline we weren't expecting. manfriend got a new job, moved in to the apartment with me (thankfully because he helped out a lot with the dog while i was sick) and then we got word that we had some help in buying a place. which took no time to find a cute house but the paperwork was the worst!! we're all moved in now and unpacked. just the baby room is left <3
work has been slow, as i'm sure no one is surprised by, but that's the new life. who knows what 2021 will look like. the province keeps going back and forth with their lockdown/limitations on what we can do so i stay home 99 % of the time unless i need some essentials  

December is looking better, even if it is covered in snow so fingers crossed for a fun month!
