I didn’t do a great job of reading my anticipated releases last year so there are quite a few 2021 books that I really wanted to read but didn’t get round to. Here are ten of them! Hopefully I will get to some, if not all, of these this year.
Top 10 Tuesday was originally created by The Broke and the Bookish, but has now moved to That Artsy Reader Girl. If you’re interested in taking part click here.

The Wolf and the Woodman is fantastic, I hope you enjoy it when you finally get round to it.

The Gilded Ones is a Cybils finalist. I would not miss that one!

Ooh good, I’m really looking forward to it!
So many on this list are ones I had hoped to get to but didn’t either, especially the Iron Widow and Six Crimson Cranes. I do recommend The Gilded Ones though. It was so good!
I’ve heard so much about Iron Widow, I must get to it this year! Oh great everyone seems to be recommending The Gilded Ones so I’m excited for that one.
