There are so many amazing books coming out next year, I can’t quite believe it. I was debating about whether or not to cut this list down to my most anticipated but I want to keep it as long as possible to give you all some recommendations that you may have never heard of. This list does not include any 2020 releases that I have been lucky enough to receive ARCs of because I will probably get to those before the end of the year.
Come Tumbling Down by Seanan McGuire
I have adored all of the previous books in the Wayward Children series so I cannot wait for the latest addition, especially since it involves us returning to a previously beloved character. – 7th January
Lucky Caller by Emma Mills
I have heard so much about Emma Mills as an author, but I’ve never read any of her books. However, this new release from her sounds right up my alley. – 14th January
Tweet Cute by Emma Lord
As you are all probably aware, I adore romances and this debut novel sounds perfect for me. – 21st January
Heartstopper Vol 3 by Alice Oseman
Who doesn’t love the Heartstopper series? I cannot wait to read more about Nick and Charlie and what they are up to. – 6th February
Of Curses and Kisses by Sandhya Menon
I’ve been obsessed with Sandhya Menon’s works since her debut released and I’m really intrigued to see how she deals in a more fantastical setting than she is used to writing in. – 18th February
Moment of Truth by Kasie West
Any new Kasie West release goes straight onto my automatic read list, I don’t even check what they are about. I just love her books. – 3rd March
Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare
Does this even need explanation? I am certified Cassandra Clare trash and I’ve been eagerly anticipating the release of this book since 2013. – 3rd March
The Kingdom of Back by Marie Lu
I really enjoy Marie Lu’s books so I’m intrigued to see what this latest book from her is going to be like. – 3rd March
The Midnight Lie by Marie Rutkoski
Similarly to Marie Lu, I really enjoyed Marie Rutkoski’s previous works, therefore I am interested to see what this book is all about. – 3rd March
Hold Back the Tide by Melinda Salisbury
Melinda Salisbury is one of my favourite authors of all time so of course, her latest release went on this list straight away. This book is completely different to her past releases but I’m hoping that I still love it. – 5th March
The Honey- Don’t List by Christina Lauren
I have a love-hate relationship with Christina Lauren books but I’m still always excited for their new releases, just in case it turns itno a new favourite. – 24th March
Imagine Me by Tahereh Mafi
I hestitated putting this onto this list because I haven’t enjoyed the latest additions in this series but I am intrigued to see how it ends so I will probably just read this book to finish the whole series once again. –31st March
Aru Shah and the Tree of Wishes by Roshani Chokshi
I really enjoyed the previous two books in this series, so I really can’t wait to see what happens next. – 7th April
Runaways Vol 5 by Rainbow Rowell
I adore Rainbow Rowell so obviously I’ve been keeping up with this series as the volumes release so this latest addition will be no exception. – 21st April
Girl Gone Viral by Alisha Rai
The Right Swipe became one of my favourite romance books of the year so I am eagerly anticipating this companion novel. – 21st April
Loveless by Alice Oseman
Alice Oseman is one of my top 5 favourite authors of all time and her last novel, I Was Born For This, was my favourite book of 2018. Following her journey of writing this book on Instagram, just makes me feel even more excited for it. – 30th April
The Switch by Beth O’Leary
The Flatshare was another one of my favourite romances of the year, therefore I can’t wait to see what her sophmore novel is like. – 30th April
The Betrothed by Kiera Cass
The Selection is my favourite guilty pleasure series so when she announced this other book (not related but also about royalty), I knew that I needed it. – 5th May
Four Days of You and Me by Miranda Kenneally
I haven’t read a Miranda Kenneally book in ages but she was always one of my favourite YA romance authors so I want to pick up her new release to see if I still enjoy her books. – 5th May
The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang
The Bride Test was one of my favourite romances of the year, despite not loving The Kiss Quotient so I am intrigued to find out if I enjoy this book as much as The Bride Test. – 5th May
Chasing Lucky by Jenn Bennett
2019 was the year I fell in love with Jenn Bennett’s books so therefore, her 2020 release went straight to the top of my most anticipated releases of the year. – 5th May
Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevado
I adored With The Fire On High that I read this year, and her 2020 release sounds just as amazing. – 14th May
Read With Pride by Lucy Powrie
The Paper and Hearts Society was one of my favourite books of the year and I just know that the sequel is going to be even better. – 14th May
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins
I assume this is going to be one most anticipated releases lists because of course. I am sceptical and I want to re-read The Hunger Games first but I am intrigued to see what it is like. – 19th May
Second First Impressions by Sally Thorne
This is another one that I am scpetical of because The Hating Game is my favourite romance of all time but 99 Percent Mine was one of my least favourite books of the year so I’m not sure which side of the spectrum this will fall on, so let’s see. – 19th May
The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna
There’s a severe lack of debut fantasy novels on my list but I needed this on here after I was lucky enough to read the first few chapters during my week at Usborne in the summer. – 26th May
Take A Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert
Get A Life, Chloe Brown was another of my favourite books of the year so I need the companion novel. Also, I love how most romance books are getting companion novels, it’s perfect for me. – 23rd June
Ten Things I Hate About Pinky by Sandhya Menon
Sandhya Menon is on this list twice! She’s one of my favourite authors of all time and I just feel like this might be my favourite one of hers. I adore Ten Things I Hate About You so this is going to be perfect. – 30th June
The Lost Book of The White by Cassandra Clare and Wesley Chu
Does this need an explanation? I am certified Shadowhunter trash. – 1st September
Fence by C.S. Pascat
I read the graphic novel series this year and had mixed thoughts, but I’m intrigued by the novellisation. – 1st September
American Royals: Majesty by Katharine McGee
American Royals was one of my most surprising books of the year and it had one of the biggest cliffhangers I’ve ever read so I would like the sequel now. – 3rd September
Towards the end of the year, the releases haven’t been properly confirmed yet but I assume there are some fantastic books coming out in the last few months too.
