Before the 2020 wrap-up posts are even a week old (or in some cases – such as mine – not even completed yet) it’s time to talk about all the shiny new books that we want to get our hands on in the first half of 2021.
There are plenty of lists that will list the top-name authors whose 2021 books already have the highest number of holds at the library (Four Winds by Kristin Hannah, anyone?) but my list contains mostly books by favorite authors whose books I try mightily to keep up with. (It helps if they don’t publish at a Pattersonion pace.)
Yellow Wife I read as an advance copy, and it also made my Favorite Books of 2020 list.
My Top Ten Tuesday list is in order of release date, January to June:
The Liar’s Dictionary (Doubleday, 1/5/21) by Eley Williams
