MY 2020 TBR!

Hello, hello! Soo, it's still January. Which means I'm still talking about goals and plans and everything else 2020. And I probably will be for the rest of the month.

So I hope you enjoy that sort of thing. Hehe.

And for this week's installment of the I'm-obsessed-with-New-Year-posts post... I'm sharing my TBR for 2020!

(if you've noticed any wonkiness with my graphics/whatever you want to call them recently... bear with me. I'm trying to find a consistent style that I like and I'm apparently really indecisive. xD feel free to look back over the last few posts and let me know which one you think looks the best! mostly I've been tweaking the color scheme to match my blog header.)

Of course these aren't all the books I want to read this year. HOPEFULLY I'll get a lot more read (gotta hit that Goodreads goal). But these are the ones I desperately NEEEED to read or else I can't possibly go on living. (dramatic? I think not.)

First, here's a refresher of the books I had on my list last year, and if I read them or not.

Out of Time trilogy by Nadine Brandes: yes // 5 stars
Within These Lines by Stephanie Morrill: no
Blood of Kings trilogy by Jill Williamson: no
The Warrior Maiden by Melanie Dickerson: no (but I did ACQUIRE this book in 2019!)
Perfect Scoundrels by Ally Carter: no
A Thousand Perfect Notes by C.G. Drews: yes // 4 stars
Winter by Marissa Meyer: no
Storyworld First by Jill Williamson: no

...wow. Clearly I didn't make much progress with THAT list. So hopefully 2020 will be a little more successful. Hehe. Heh.

Soo, let's move on from THAT travesty and get to a list with a hopefully brighter future. xD And here it is: my 2020 TBR!

(in no particular order)

THE WARRIOR MAIDEN AND THE PIPER'S PURSUIT BY MELANIE DICKERSON

Hopefully by the time you read this, I'll already be done with The Warrior Maiden! It's my first read of the year, and after that I'm moving onto The Piper's Pursuit.

STORM SIREN TRILOGY BY MARY WEBER

This is probably the oldest thing on the list in terms of how long I've wanted to read it. I remember seeing Storm Siren in a Christian book catalog years ago and thinking it looked interesting, so it's basically been in the back of my mind as one-of-those-books-I-want-to-buy-but-never-get-around-to-it books. Then I got the trilogy for Christmas. So now I definitely need to get on this!

WINTER BY MARISSA MEYER

This was on my list last year and I never got around to it. Why? For a couple reasons. One, I wasn't sure whether I wanted to read the first three Lunar Chronicles books again before reading it, or just read Winter. I want to read the first three again, because I know I'll probably forget a lot of what's happening if I just jump right into the last book. But I know it'll also drive me crazy if I've read all the books in the series twice except the last one. Because I think about weird stuff like that.

And also because THIS BOOK IS LIKE 800 PAGES LONG. THAT. IS. SO. MANY. PAGES.

SKYLAR HOYT SERIES BY STEPHANIE MORRILL

This wasn't my first choice of Stephanie Morrill books (not that I'm not interested in them!), but they're the only ones I own. xD I bought them (signed!) on sale a few months ago, so I'm excited about reading them. And I guess this way I can start from the beginning with her books and go in order? (Although at that rate I'll get to my most anticipated one, Within These Lines, last. We'll see. xD)

OUT OF TIME SERIES BY NADINE BRANDES

Yes, these books were on my list last year.

Yes, I've already read them.

Yes, I'm putting them here, because I one hundred percent plan to reread them in 2020. And I couldn't be more excited.

TO BEST THE BOYS BY MARY WEBER

Another Christmas gift! I've heard such good things about this one and I'm really looking forward to seeing what the hype's about.

MARK OF THE RAVEN BY MORGAN BUSSE

Because I feel like everybody's read this but me and I NEED IT RIGHT NOW OKAY.

THE STORY PEDDLER BY LINDSAY FRANKLIN

Another book I think everyone's read but me. I need it.

BLOOD OF KINGS TRILOGY BY JILL WILLIAMSON

Putting this back on here because I STILL reaalllyyy want to read it. I NEEED more fantasy books in my life.

WINTER, WHITE AND WICKED BY SHANNON DITTEMORE

This isn't out yet but I NEED IT THE MOMENT IT RELEASES, which is supposed to be this fall. I'm so excited for a new book from Shannon Dittemore and ahh this one sounds amazing!!

Aaand there are SO many more books I could put on this list but I'd better stop there so we don't have a repeat of not-even-reading-half-the-books-on-this-list like last year. (Although let's be honest, it's still probably going to happen. But I can dream.) I'm excited to read sooo many amazing books this year! And I'm happy to say that I've been getting back in the reading groove. Still not reading as often as I'd like, but it's only January, so plenty of time for that. I'm just finding myself getting excited about reading again, when in the last few months I've barely made five minutes a day to read.

Now I'm reading four books at the same time. XD

Two of them are devotionals, so they sort of don't count. But I'm reading a physical book AND an ebook (whaaat? Emily reading an ebook? unheard of), and it's been great. I've been saving the book to read at home, and the ebook to read when I'm out and about. Kinda makes me want to acquire more ebooks. xD

I hope you all are having a lovely reading year so far, and a great January in general! NOW LET'S TALK BOOKS.

What are you reading right now? What books do you most want to read this year? Any highly anticipated new releases? And are there any books you think I should add to my 2020 TBR? (Because it's obviously not long enough. Obviously.)
