It’s another season of new books waiting in the horizon! (Let’s all work towards making this year less bad overall, shall we?)
Lore by Alexandra Bracken
Release date: January 5th 2021
Why I want to read it: Greek gods!! Also I liked this author’s books as a teen. It’s a standalone, which is a plus.
Winterkeep (Graceling Realm #4) by Kristin Cashore
Release date: January 19th 2021
Why I want to read it: Graceling is one of my all-time favourite fantasy series, especially as I grew up along with it, from 2008 to 2012, and now another new book. This magical world is built in such a way that you can just expand it and create crossovers, while retaining some of the elements. I’m just so happy about learning this book will exist.
Remote Control by Nnedi Okorafor
Release date: January 19th 2021
Why I want to read it: I’ve yet to read Akata Witch by the same author, but so many seems to like it. I’ve seen this novella described as a folktale/sci-fi story with african futurism,
How To Disappear by Savannah Brown
Release date: February 23rd 2021
Why I want to read it: I always have loved Savannah’s writing, her debut novel “The truth about keeping secrets” was stunning, as is her poetry. So I’m here for more mystery, set in an isolated community where surely the worst things could happen, in secret.
A Court of Silver and Flames by Sarah J. Maas
Release date: February 16th 2021
Why I want to read it: I don’t want to, but I feel compelled to finish what I’ve started with this series, no matter how often I give up on this author. Goddamn. Maybe I won’t and this is what breaks the cycle – I wish.
A Desolation Called Peace (Teixcalaan #2) by Arkady Martine
Release date: March 2nd 2021
Why I want to read it: I’ve yet to read the first book in this series, but the beginning of this queer sci-fi series has gotten so good reviews. I mean – Aztec empire in space??
Sweet & Bitter Magic by Adrienne Tooley
Release date: March 9th 2021
Why I want to read it: honestly I’m unsure about this book, even with the stunning cover. But sapphic witches, a magical plague, dark powers and love bargains might be too good to pass on, especially if the reviews I see are positive.
She’s Too Pretty To Burn by Wendy Heard
Release date: March 30th 2021
Why I want to read it: queer girls, a rebel art scene and claiming to be a “sexy, psychological thriller”.

Yay! She’s great, her poetry and fiction is of course different from each other, but I like them both

Lore looks like it’s going to be so much fun, I’m really excited to pick that one up. I’ve heard good things about the Teixcalaan series, too- I may very well have to pick up the first one. As for Sweet and Bitter magic, I’m with you, intrigued but holding out for some reviews before I make up my mind.
