People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry
Probably a tie between A Court of Silver Flames by Sara J Mass and Battle Royal by Lucy Parker. I can’t wait to get my hands on them!
So many – Blood Heir by Ilona Andrews and Wild Sign by Patricia Briggs come to mind.
The new Lucy Parker book
Fugitive Telemetry because Murderbot is the only thing that stops my reading slumps.
Honestly, anything by Nalini Singh, Lexi Blake, and Talia Hibbert.
I am counting the days until Blood Heir by Ilona Andrews comes out. I reread the Kate Daniels books at least once a year and I’m SO excited for Julie’s story.
I’m most looking forward to Xio Axelrod’s The Girl with Stars in Her Eyes. Women in rock music, YES! Though there are sooo many upcoming releases that are making me happy to think about and making my bank account weep in anticipation.
I’m behind in some (ok, most) of my pleasure reading for 2020, so so looking back to 2020, ‘A Promised Land’ by Barack Obama and looking forward to 2021, ‘The Heart Principle’ by Helen Hoang.
Forever Girl by Jill Shalvis and the first Dark Olympus book by Katee Robert.
I’m really looking forward to “A Lady’s Formula for Love” by Elizabeth Everett, it looks delightful!
Looking forward to discovering the next book I didn’t know I needed here on SBTB. Don’t know the title, author, or release date, but I know you all will lead me to it!
This year my favorite authors’ new and upcoming releases have not been engaging my brain, and making plans of any kind has been setting me up for disappointment more often than not. This here community has been a light in dark times. Thank you all for being there and being awesome.
Sherry Thomas’ next Charlotte Holmes book. Also the next Mariana Zapata.
I’m looking forward to When Stars Collide.
I’m looking forward to several books but especially Katherine Addison’s new book set in the world of The Goblin Emperor, THE WITNESS FOR THE DEAD, which comes out in June.
All the books in my pile!
The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang
Fugitive Telemetry (Muderbot book 6)
Battle Royal by Lucy Parker.
And if Julie James finishes the book she’s working on and if it is released in 2021, then, that one too.
Looking forward to releases by KJ Charles and Lily Morton
The Bride Bet by Tessa Dare!
Accidentally Engaged by Farah Heron
The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang
I’d like to read more contemporary romance in 2021. Penny Reid’s books are at the top of my list
I am looking forward to the new book in Patricia Briggs’s Alpha and Omega series.
Hopefully a new Deborah Harkness. Always excited about Ilona Andrews and Lucy Parker. Thank you Bitches for being here, always one of the highlights of my day. I wish all of you the best in 2021!
Breaking Badger by Shelly Laurenston!
The Devil You Know by Kit Rocha
I’ve been waiting on Reaper
Werelock Evolution #7
by Hettie Ivers just shy of forever
Mostly, I’m just hoping for books to get me out of the doldrums. I have plenty of great ebooks/audiobooks in my library, but I’m just not interested. But Jodi Taylor’s books make me happy and she has several coming out next year. Then there are my usual standbys, including Patricia Briggs, CS Harris, Faith Hunter, etc., with 2021 releases. Fingers crossed!
Thanks for the giveaway and happy Hanukkah.
Blackout After Dark by Marie Force
OOOOh, two bags. What fun!
I can’t wait to read “The Rose Code” by Kate Quinn. It will be one of many on my 2021 TBR.
Blood Heir by Ilona Andrews!
Six-gun Sorcery
Excited about Blood Heir, coming out next month.
Too many – you should see my upcoming books list! But the ones that stand out are:
The Bride Bet – Tessa Dare
Love at First – Kate Clayborn
Act Your Age, Eve Brown – Talia Hibbert
Forever in Cape May – Jennifer Probst
The Devil You Know – Kit Rocha
Anything from Courtney Milan
Thank you for holding this week-long gift-a-palooza, SB team, and Happy Holidays and New Year to the whole Bitchery!
I cannot WAIT for the newest Tessa Dare. She is always my must-buy.
I’m looking forward to the new Evie Dunsmore book, Portrait of a Scotsman, plus rereading the Bridgerton books(my library has a waitlist).
In spite of its (many) iffy moments and S-L-O-W burn, I’m still curious to see how the 10 DANCE manga series ends (and I’m frothing at the mouth for the next CRIMSON SPELL, too)…
Oh gosh, I really want this. The book I ma most looking forward to read is: coursework for my zoom peer to peer training support to assist other neurodiverse people to find their way out of mental illness, also “I was a Peer Support Specialist,”Sharing Wisdom: The Practical Art of Giving and Receiving Mentoring,” plus everything on my Kindle that I bought from this group which at the moment is over 6 pages long.
