Most anticipated books for 2021//70 BOOKS 📚

hi my name's jody and welcome to another video so today i'm going to be doing my pre-orders for 20 21 video so i have pre-ordered a lot of books for this year when i say a lot i'm not exaggerating there's about 30 books on this list maybe more and this isn't every single book because i kind of got a bit too lazy to be going through all my orders on waterstones and other websites and trying to figure out so these are all the ones that i do have saved in my notes on my phone that i know pre-ordered and then i have a couple that i haven't yet pre-ordered but definitely i'm looking forward to this year so yes if you would like to see all of the books for 2021 that i have pre-ordered and you're looking maybe for some new books that are coming out this year and you're not sure or you're looking for something new then keep watching this video and let's just get straight into it don't forget to get yourself a cup of tea or something because it's going to be a very very long video i have a lot of books to talk about and we need to stay hydrated okay so i have tried to organize these books month by month so that it's a lot easier for me to talk about them i really hope i forgot any important ones but the likelihood is i've probably forgotten a few books on here but yes we're just going to go through yes we are just going to go through the list that i have on my phone and let's hope that we cover most of the books so obviously we're going to start with january so let's see what's first on the list so some of these books have already come out and yeah they're already out but i'm going to talk about them anyways because i feel like they deserve to be talked about i have pre-ordered some of these a lot of them i've pre-ordered with waterstones however because a lot of them are us published they take so long to come over to uk sometimes the dates of publication could be slightly different or that they just delayed so for example there's probably about three books on here that i know already come out especially in the years and i pre-ordered and the pre-order date has already been gone and i still haven't received the book but it's just paired with covered u.s imports brexit and everything else everything's kind of delayed so i don't have the physical copies for all these books but anyway yeah so the first book is actually one that i actually do now have physically and this came out on the 7th of january and this is the witchlings girl and this is by helena cogan and i'm obsessed with this cover look how beautiful this cover is like it's absolutely stunning and this is described as being a very dark and atmospheric book quite tense and i just love the sound of this book in particular the beginning of the synopsis was what sold me on this book and it says in a quiet street far from the river with an ancient tree growing through its walls and floors is the house of the dead there lives the witchling healer midwife and conduit between the world of the living and the world below a witchling must give up her family and her friends and spend her life alone tending to the sick and carrying the dead down dark tunnels to the underworld and in this we follow haley who was born with the gift of what's called death magic under the age of seven years old she is abandoned by her mother to the witchlinger to learn how to control this death magic and become the next witchling and it says he finds it harder and harder to keep her vows and be the perfect and passive healer but if she can't it will be her downfall and that of everyone she's not supposed to love and i just think this sounds absolutely amazing i'm so intrigued it does sound very very dark it sounds like there might be a little bit of romance in there some good character development and it just sounds like it will be a really good tense kind of story and i'm just so here for it this is my kind of thing i love anything that's quite eerie and this just sounds quite unique as well um so yes i am very very excited to read this one in 2021 and i just love this cover so much so the next book also came out on the 7th of january and that is the forest of moon and sword by amy rafael you're all probably sick to death of me talking about this book i've spoken about this in so many videos now i read an early copy of this i adored it and gave it five stars this is an incredible middle grade and i'd recommend this to literally anyone whether it be for the age group it's intended for or adult i highly recommend picking up this book it is absolutely amazing we have a main character who goes on a journey of self-discovery of love relationships family we've got magical realism in here we've got the witch trials in here it's honestly just amazing i'm not even going to go into the synopsis because i've spoken about this so many times and if you haven't picked up by now then i don't know what you're doing but yes i absolutely adore this i have this beautiful finished copy as well that amy kindly sent me and she signed it and wrote this lovely note inside which is really really nice this was one of my most anticipated releases of the year because i just absolutely adore this book so much so next up we have a chlorine scar by mahogany l brown and this is a book that's actually written in verse and i'm so excited for this this again is one i have already pre-ordered but it just hasn't shipped out to me yet i'm assuming there are delays and i just can't wait to get my hands on this i really wish it would hurry up and the reason i'm really excited for this is that i finally got around to reading some of elizabeth acavedo's work last year i read the poet x it was one of my favorite books of 2020 and it was my first book that i'd actually ever read that was written in verse and i absolutely adored it i really enjoyed that kind of format and i'm very very excited for this book in particular like for one look at the cover it's just absolutely stunning and beautiful like yes but this is a coming-of-age story about a young girl and it says that this is a book about broken promises fast rumors and when growing up means growing apart from your best friend this is perfect for readers of elizabeth acevedo and nikki graham so i just love hallelujah's pitch i have seen so many good reviews for this book and again i really want to read a lot more books written in verse and this was the first one that popped up and i'm honestly so excited to read this so another book that we draw on the 12th of january is into the heartless wood and this is by joanna ruth mayer and this is one that is a very very witchy so naturally i really want to read it i haven't received this one just yet either but yes i can wait so in this book we have a forest that kind of attracts people and laws people in with siren songs in this forest we have a witch who's lived there for centuries harvesting souls who are lured in by this siren tongue and she uses these souls to feed the heartless tree to carry on growing her domain and carry on with her way of life so this witch has a lot of siren daughters and she has a daughter named seren and one day seren saves this guy called owen who's led into the forest nearby his house and she decides to save him rather than hand him over to a mother who is the witch to be harvested to help the tree and as a result of this every single night evan sneaks over the gun wall and he meets up with saren and the seren is longing to be a human as well hair and a relationship with owen is kind of deepening and becoming something more and this says seren's best to become human will lead them into an ancient war raging between the witch and the king who is trying to stop her epic heartbreaking and darkly atmospheric into the heartless world is the story of impossible love between a monstrous tree siren and a boy who lives at the edge of a wood i just love the sound of this for me this sounds very much like the sheer end show book that i read called the winter wood it's kind of got that vibe to me kind of dark eerie and i just love the sound of this book and i'm so excited i love anything witchy and of course this is just straight up my my street basically my cup of tea cannot wait to read this book so next up we have one i am so excited for this is one of my most anticipated reads of the year this is a new fantasy series so this is going to be the first book and it is a middle grade series there's been so much talk about this so much positivity i'm so excited like this is pitched as being the next big thing for middle grade and yeah i just i can't wait for it um so the book i'm talking about is amari and the knight brothers and this is by bb olsen and this comes out on the 19th of

a graphic novel i'm so excited for this this comes out on the 21st of january and i have a nice assigned copy on its way to me and i'm very very excited you all know i love my graphic novels this is a really really good one for anyone who's ever felt very lonely overwhelmed by anxiety and those sorts of things so it has some really good elements to do with mental health and i'm very very excited for that in particular says this is the story of one of those days a day so bad you can barely get out of bed when it's a struggle to leave the house and when you do you wish you hadn't but even the worst of days can surprise you when one sad ghost lost and alone at a crowded party inspires another sad ghost across the room they decide to leave together what happens next changes everything because that night they start the sad ghost club a secret society for the anxious and alone a club for people who think they don't belong for fans of heartstopper and jennifer niven and for anyone who's ever felt invisible you are not alone pass it on i just think this sounds amazing and when i heard it's perfect for fans of heartstopper of course i had to pre-order it and like i said i really love the themes of mental health in here so i'm very very excited to read this especially with it being a graphic novel and i think this is going to become probably one of my favorite reads i can just

third book in a series i've only actually read the first book in this series but i've pre-ordered the exclusive fairyloot edition of this book because i want it to match my first one and so on i really do need to read the rest of the series and the second book i just haven't gotten to it because i've heard so many mixed things about the second one but i'm still pretty excited for this and to receive the nice pretty fairyloot edition of this book but the book i'm talking about is a vowel so bold and deadly by bridgette kamina is it camera camera camera i think is how you say her name so this gets released on the 26th of january and like i said it's the third book in a series so i'm not going to go into what this is about but this series is usually based around beauty and the beast it's kind of like another why a retelling of beauty and the beast and the first book was really really good um so yes i'm very excited to receive the exclusive edition and yeah so now we have all of february's pre-orders and firstly we have what big teeth by rosa sabo and i'm so excited for this book this cover i'm obsessed with it like just look at it it is absolutely stunning it is my kind of bad this has been pitched as being like a horror thriller murder mystery s kind of books and it just sounds so good this has got vibes of miss peregrine's children whatever that book's called i can't

just yeah i'm here for that and i'm very very excited set in 1490s career and one of the reviews says here that it's a fascinating look at being an independent woman detective in a time when women have no status so i think this is going to be a really really fun and interesting read very very excited for it and obsessed with the cover and this one comes out on the 20th of april so next up we have another verse novel and this is 32 talks weird and this has such a cool unique cover like just look at this art style like yes really really cool so i don't know a ton about this i just know it's quite an interesting one and i know that it's written in verse because this thought-provoking moving verse novel will lead adults and young adult readers alike to vital discussions on important topics like dealing with depression and how to recognize this in yourself and others through the accessible voice of a 13 year old girl so i just think this is going to be a really important read i think it's going to be really powerful and touch on some really important themes as well and i'm just very very excited it sounds really interesting the way the plot is laid out as well and like she's dealing with a lot of different issues and the fact that it's going to be from a 13 year old's perspective where everything in your life is kind of changing you know you use at the age of giving high school and all these different things that you know you experience as a 13 year old child life can be really challenging and dealing with mental health at that age as well can be even more challenging obviously so i'm very very intrigued by this book i'm very excited and i just think they cover as well is just amazing i'm really unique so yeah oh and this comes out on 22nd of april and this is by

jennifer saint so just look how beautiful this proof is and it's so floppy oh i love it i'm very very excited this one this is a greek mythology inspired story story would not be one of death and suffering and sacrifice i would take my place in the songs that would be sung about theseus the princess who saved him and ended the monstrosity that blighted crete so this is basically a retelling of theseus and the minotaur which i absolutely love this myth i think it's so interesting and such a fun story and i'm really excited to see how the character ariadne is explored as well because when i think it was cersei i read ariadne was in that and might have been in another stephen fry book i can't remember but i was reading like a greek mythology inspired hail and ariadne's character was in there and i just thought she was a really interesting character so i'm really excited to see what this author does with the myth and this character and explores the different things that kind of link to that myth and i don't know i think this is going to be really really fun but this is marketers perfect for fans of cersei song of achilles and sounds of the girls so i've read all of those bought science of the girls which i still need to read but i loved like loved those books so much so naturally i really really want to read this one ariadne gives a voice to the forgotten women of one of the most famous greek myths and speaks to their strength in the face of angry petulant gods usefully written and completely immersive this is an exceptional w novel so i'm very very excited for this i

called the matings by alex mccleady's or michael laddy's ladies michael ladies michael ladies i'm gonna say michael ladies i'm not sure how to pronounce that name i do apologize but for one cover very very cool really really vibey like i'm living for it it says this is a spellbinding tale of psychological suspense weaving together greek mythology murder and obsession and it follows a greek tragedy professor at cambridge university and i think a student suspects him of murder or something and he's obsessed with like these people called the maidens i don't really know much else about it but it

wardstones it is a bit later um so it's may or june but i'm keeping it in the june category because that's probably going to be when i get it because i've watched it on water stains it says a reluctant medium discovers the ties that band can unleash a dangerous power in this compelling malaysian set contemporary fantasy so someone on goodreads has actually put a quote from the author apparently that they were said on twitter and it says a stressed zillennial lesbian fights gods ghost gangsters and grandmas in 21st century penang need i say more this just sounds so cool and really

it i don't know anything about it except for truly devious it's like a murder mystery thriller ask why a series so if you're into your thrillers or kind of murder mystery kind of stuff it'd be worth picking up this series so now we're on to all the books i have pre-ordered for july so next we have six crimson cranes by elizabeth lim and again another beautiful cover yes please and this comes out on the 6th of july and this follows a young princess and ends up banished by her stepmother because she doesn't want to take part in like i think it's an arranged marriage or a forced marriage or

she's got like this really dark secret that she's got forbidden magic running through her veins that no one really knows about she already searches for her brothers and on her journey uncovers a conspiracy to overtake the throne a conspiracy more twisted and deceitful more cunning and complex than even her stepmother's betrayal only she can set the kingdom to rights but to do so she must place her trust in the very boys she fought so hard not to marry she must embrace the magic she's been taught all her life to contain no matter what it costs her so i can't wait for this this sounds

book as well so i can't wait for it then on the 13th of july we have xoxo and this is by axio and i love this cover it's so cute like yes i should have just done a whole video on how much i like all these covers because that's literally what i'm saying about every single book but all these covers are just so cool this year but this is in south korea and i think we have the main character meets a guy and they have like a little brief fling and then three months later she kind of bumps into him in korea i think and she finds out that this guy is actually a student in the same musical like university or something that she's going to i'm not only is he a student he's in this really famous band and he's actually one of the members of this kpop band and they're forbidden from dating and she's got to decide once and for all if she's willing to risk everything for love this just sounds so good i'm so excited the kpop band thing as well like yes please so i can't wait for this i love the cover as well it's just so cute so next we have an amazing fantasy story coming out and this is she who became the sun and this is by kelly parker-chan and i love this cover again i know i'm saying that for every book but it's just such a cool cover i love all the colors and tones in it but this says moolah meets the song of achilles like that's how this is pitched my brain can't handle that mulan song of achilles yes please the dream team like i'm so excited for this like as soon as i heard that i was like pre-order no but it says she who became the son a bold queer and lyrical reimagining of the rise of the founding emperor of the ming dynasty from an amazing new voice in literary fantasy so this just sounds incredible i am so excited for this fantasy i think it's going to

pre-orders so next we have how we fall apart by katie zahau and this is a why a thriller and this is like crazy rich asians meets one of us is lying so i haven't read either of those books but i do really want to but i just love the sound of this this sounds like such a cool thriller and i like why thrillers i want to read more of them so obviously i want to read this one and all means character nancy's best friend goes missing and then turns up dad and then there's rumors going around that two of her best friends are actually actually to blame for this guy's death and obviously like she's like what the hell and there's an enormously incriminating like social media app called the proctor so gossip girl vibes and it says the four of them must uncover the true killer before the proctor exposes more than they can bear and cost them more than they can afford like nancy's full scholarship soon nancy's backs their friends may be keeping secrets from her too this just sounds so cool it sounds like a really really good thriller really good murder mystery and i'm just really really excited and this comes out on the third of august so next up we have a lesson in vengeance and this is by victoria lee and this comes out on the 3rd of august and this says it's perfect for fans of ninth house which we all know i really need to read it's a dark and twisty atmospheric thriller about a

i don't believe that this is a follow-up to her first book either i think you can just go ahead and read this one or the other one however you like this is a retelling from the trojan war from obviously the women's perspectives and i'm just really really intrigued because i'm loving these kind of feministic greek mythology history x kind of stories if that makes sense so very very excited for this one then next we have a slow fire burning by paula hawkins so paula hawkins is the author of some of the most well-known thrillers so we have into the water i think and girl on the train i've read both of those and i adored them at the time i literally like loved both of those thrillers i couldn't put them down i just really really like her writing i think she might have written maybe another book or two since then i'm not sure unless this is the latest one um i don't even know much about this at all to be honest like i just know it's kind of like someone's murdered someone suspected of it that kind of thing and that's it it's a cirrilla that's all i know i don't know anything else but i pre-ordered it because it's paula hawkins i really love her writing and i snubbed myself a signed copy on waterstones this comes out on the 31st of august as well so i'm very very excited and then we are on to september's pre-orders in september we have jay kristoff's a very very highly anticipated and awaited book which is empire of the vampire and this has vampires in it i hope i don't have anyone young watching this like i'm gonna beat that out if you guys seen his video on twitter a while ago he mentioned some um adult themes to do with vampires and i was just like what but it just sounded so weird and so bizarre and so fun this is a whole new way of looking at vampires apparently really dark and twisted now i know this book has been one that has been pushed back like quite a lot but i did buy myself a signed copy on waterstones so i'm very happy this is the first illustrated volume of an astonishing new dark fantasy saga and it's all about vampires and i love vampires so i'm very excited i don't know anything else about it don't want to know anything else about it i just want to go in open mind and read it no expectations so i'm very very excited so then also in september on the 14th we have a dark and stylish forest and this is a why contemporary fantasy girls and it's pitch for fans of wilder girls and it just sounds really fun and i was just intrigued by the cover but this basically follows a girl and all her siblings go missing and she must
