Last year was truly so very wild for so many reasons, but one of the few happy wild reasons was because there were so many amazing debuts! I was so impressed over these ten books, I was so happy to see a T10T prompt like this so I could gush, celebrate, and support them a little bit more on blog! And I can’t wait to see what all of these authors (and their stories) do next! 

➽ You Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson
➽ The Henna Wars by Adiba Jaigirdar
➽ Eva Evergreen, Semi-Magical Witch (Eva Evergreen #1) by Julie Abe
➽ The Bone Shard Daughter (The Drowning Empire #1) by Andrea Stewart
➽ Loveboat, Taipei (Loveboat, Taipei #1) by Abigail Hing Wen

➽ Star Daughter by Shveta Thakrar
➽ I’ll Be the One by Lyla Lee
➽ The Year of the Witching (Bethel #1) by Alexis Henderson
➽ These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong
➽ Where Dreams Descend (Kingdom of Cards #1) by Janella Angeles

I truly do recommend all of these books, and they truly were such bright shining lights in 2020 literature! Tell me which 2020 debut was your favorite! Or which 2021 debut you are most looking forward to! The way I just know that Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers is going to be absolutely everything I’ve ever wanted! Okay, I love you guys so much and I hope you’re having the happiest of reading!

So many books and never ever enough time, right? I feel like 2020 was easily the year I read the least amount of books actually published in the year. Most years, the majority of my reading are that year’s publications, but 2020 turned into the year I comfort reread and backlist buddy read. No regrets, but I thought this would be a cool T10T to do, to keep a list of some 2020 publications that I still want to get to in this new year!

➽ Raybearer (Raybearer #1) by Jordan Ifueko
➽ Lobizona (Wolves of No World #1) by Romina Garber
➽ The Care and Feeding of Waspish Widows (Feminine Pursuits #2) by Olivia Waite
➽ The Silence of Bones by June Hur
➽ Hollowpox (Nevermoor #3) by Jessica Townsend
➽ Majesty (American Royals #2) by Katharine McGee
➽ The Empire of Gold (The Daevabad Trilogy #3) by S.A. Chakraborty
➽ To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini
➽ Fable (Fable #1) by Adrienne Young
➽ Black Sun (Between Earth and Sky #1) by Rebecca Roanhorse

Truly, I feel like I haven’t seen many (or any) bad reviews for all of these books! And so many of my moots who have very similar reading tastes as me have put all these on their best books of 2020 lists! Let me know, out of these ten, which one you think I would like the most! But I do hope to get to many of them this new year! Happy reading, friends!

I’ve been getting so exciting picking out TBRs this last half of 2020, so I thought it would be cool to do a tiny spin on “Books I Read Because Someone Recommended Them to Me” and talk about the books that I look at on my shelves and smile because I want to pick them up because of my friends. 💕

I’ve always been fascinated with the way that certain books can make you think of certain people, even without reading them. I always wonder what books people correlate with me, and it always makes me happy when they tell me. Ahhh, I don’t want to get sappy, but this post was a lot of fun. There are honestly so many more books on my TBR that I see and just instantly think of so many other loved ones. But I feel very blessed for these ten books, and these ten people, and I can’t wait to hopefully love all of these!
