The new year means new and highly anticipated releases for us bookworms. This year is yet another year filled with many exciting new books releasing and so, I have put together a list of over a hundred releases I am excited for.
I am sure I have missed a few that I will discover over the next few months, and if I remember to do so, I will be sure to add and update this blog post. In this post, you will find a few books mentioned that still have to receive a cover, title, release day, etc. but I will be sure to update all the information every month or so.
I hope this list will help you keep track of the books you are most looking out for and that you will be able to discover a few new ones you can add to your list.
Without further ado, let us look at the most anticipated releases of 2021!
