hey everyone it's nia welcome back to smile so 2020 has been a year you guys a whole year all 365 days we've all felt that we all experienced it but you know what we have something to look forward to 2021 new books new releases new authors i don't know about you but i am so ready it is that time of the year again the time when we get to talk about all the amazing books coming out in the following year which is 2021 for the past two weeks i have been accumulating a list of all the books coming out next year and you guys there are so many books like so many books i have finally finally finished compiling my list of the books i am most highly anticipating in 2021 further ado these are the 21 books i am most highly anticipating for 2021. okay so book number one you guys have better have guessed this one a psalm of storms in silence by the queen roseanne a brown this book comes out august 31st and i am so excited my number one why a debut fantasy that came out i think over the summer it hasn't been that long already feels like just yesterday i read it best number one debut fantasy book for me that came out this year was a song of race and ruin you guys it was based off of west african folklore it was told in dual pov which is my favorite following two main characters our main male character who was a refugee coming into the city of zarah remain female character who was the princess of zoron the main male protagonist in this story his sister ended up getting kidnapped by a vengeful spirit in order to get her back he was tasked with having to kill the princess by the end of this week-long festival called sostagia this book this book was so good the second book in that series comes out on august 31st and i cannot wait the cover is absolutely gorgeous so this next book is another book that i am like fingers crossed if any publishers are watching i would kill for an arc i would sell my soul for an arc of this book mr impossible by maggie stiefvater this is book two in the dreamers trilogy which is a spin-off of the raven cycle which is one of my favorite series of all time and this book comes out on may 18th which feels just like too far away i wish it came out in january but unfortunately we gotta wait till may which is fine it's fine my first book was call down the hawk and it was amazing like like maggie saboter never disappointed one of the characters who is my favorite character from the raven cycle series is ronan now ronan has the ability to pull objects out of his dream as you can imagine this is an amazing power but also makes him the target for some pretty scary people then off series is just following ronin and his family but we do have characters that still show up that are from the first book series so you don't have to read the raven cycle to start the dreamer trilogy but you you kind of have to like the end of that series i was just reading the book for ronin like for real like ronan was my character i know blue and gansey were supposed to be like the main characters but by the end i literally only cared about ronan and adam like they were just yes yes mr impossible is book two and i was so excited they kind of gave it like a james bond ish like bonnie and clyde cover it's like survive i'm getting you know book number three is after age eve brown by talia hibbert releasing on march 9th 2020 was the year that i really got into romance novels as you guys know i've been a fantasy girl majority of my life but talia hibbert has converted me into the romantic comedy part of fiction so actor h eve brown is the third book in the brown sisters series and it is a romance series following each of these sisters and their romantic involvements each people are following a different sister who has a completely unique and different personality very first book was get a life chloe brown the second book was take a hint danny brown and now we have the very last book following the youngest sister which is eve brown another book that i am like ready for but not ready for but ready for gods and monsters by shelby maharin the highly anticipated finale to her serpent and dub trilogy comes out in august and i am not ready my number one fantasy debut for 2019 was serpent and dove this book is another book told in dual pov i have a thing for dual pov okay i'm sorry i'm biased i love it book we're following two main characters our main female character she is a witch because of circumstances she was forced to marry a witch hunter and he had no idea who she actually was the second book in that series blood and honey i read this year i lived i died i was resurrected i actually have reading vlogs for both of the first book if you guys want to experience um the emotions second hand gods and monsters will be the final book as of now that we know of book number five is the concrete rose by the queen angie thomas this book comes out on january 15th and it is a prequel to the hate you give concrete rose is a book i have been highly anticipating since angie mentioned it i think on instagram or in one of her interviews that she was working on it takes place 17 years before the events of the hate u give so this book will take place in garden heights which is the same city slash town of the hate uk following maverick carter who is star carter's father so we get to see who he is and if you guys have read and loved the hate u give as much as i did you will know that star's father plays a very important role in that book and it's gonna be very exciting to see kind of who he was in his backstory before star was born number six is empire of the vampire by jay kristoff you guys if this book title sounds familiar is because this book was actually on my 2020 most anticipated reads list because of scheduling the release date got pushed so this book comes out in fall of 2021 there's no specific date we just know it's gonna be fall october maybe like august even would be okay i consider august fall so if there is one person who just absolutely should write a vampire book it is jay kristoff he is the one author that i know would just kill the vampire scene you get it he would kill like kill the vampires they okay it was a joke jay kristoff wrote the never night series which is one of the best assassin book series ever empire the vampire is going to be an adult vampire series and you guys this book is predicted to be 800 pages long and i have never loved a number so much i just need this book you guys like i need this book right now i needed this book yesterday actually book number seven is an emotion of great delight by tejeta mafia the queen she's one of my favorite authors and she has a new ya book coming out on june 1st the head of mafia wrote the shatter me series which is a book series that is the closest to my heart it changed my life um and it got me through majority of my teenage years and i just i owed ahead of mafia so much so this book takes place in the year 2003 a few months after the us has declared war on iraq and the muslim community in america is being harassed and attacked more than ever but we're following a young girl named shadi and she wears a hijab she experiences hate and harassment on a daily basis she lost her brother is losing her father her father is dying and her mother is essentially falling apart as one might imagine having lost a son so this book as a whole is a look into a muslim family in the wake of 9 11 and is also a coming-of-age story of this girl who is dealing with a lot of hate sorrow and grief but also love and she's growing up and she's experiencing new things for the first time and knowing that this is a teddy mafi novel i just i know i'm gonna cry i know it is going to hit directly in the heart and i'm very

the ceo guy really likes him and ends up giving him a chance and he becomes a part of a very elite team of salesmen in this tech startup he's the only black salesman in this very elite group so when he joins this company he reimagines himself as buck who is a very ruthless salesman someone completely different from the person his friends and family know the person that used to work at starbucks begins to hatch a plan to help young people of color enter america's sales force and because of this it then sets off like a chain of events that changes the whole sales game forever i'm very excited

neighborhood how residents both black and white are forced to acknowledge unspoken codes of conduct her neighborhood is being terrorized and she's having to fear for her life and experiencing all of
