It’s my birthday today! And since it’s the 20th, why not talk about the 2020 releases that I’m treating myself to as a birthday gift? I love a good number pattern, I wish there were 20 books but I only have eight…
A Longer Fall by Charlaine Harris
Internationally bestselling Charlaine Harris is at her best here, building a compelling world of this alternate history of the United States, where magic is an acknowledged but despised power.
I didn’t really enjoy the first book in this series when I read it but I love Charlaine Harris’s writing style and honestly, I can’t stop thinking about An Easy Death so maybe A Longer Fall will surprise me!

Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica
It all happened so quickly. First, animals became infected with the virus and their meat became poisonous. Then, governments initiated the Transition. Now, ‘special meat’ – human meat – is legal.

A Witch in Time by Constance Sayers
A young witch is cursed to relive a doomed love affair through many lifetimes, as both troubled muse and frustrated artist, in this haunting debut novel.
Witches have been my jam for a while now and this one is a time-travel romance set in 19th Century France, 30’s Hollywood, 70’s LA and present-day Washington! I’ve never found a time-travel novel that’s worked for me but I have high hopes for this one.

My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell
An era-defining novel about the relationship between a fifteen-year-old girl and her teacher.
I don’t tend to read many issue books as I can find them a bit stressful, but I found Lolita by Vladamir Nabokov fascinating, and this is dealing with a similar topic from the victim’s perspective. I think it’s a must-read debut.
Would Like to Meet by Rachel Winters
Long-suffering assistant Evie Summers will lose her job unless she can convince her film agency’s biggest and most difficult client, Ezra Chester, to finish the script for a Hollywood romcom. The catch? He hasn’t started writing it.I heard about this one from V.V. James’ Instagram post, yeah, V.V. James who wrote one of my favourite books of last year. She described it as a rom-com with Nora Ephron energy… Sign me up!

Six Tudor Queens: Katheryn Howard, The Tainted Queen by Alison Weir
I’ve been reading this series since 2016 and although I have a proof, I’m definitely going to buy the hardcover. I have for the past four books and I’m really enjoying this so far! Look for a review in the future.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes will revisit the world of Panem sixty-four years before the events of The Hunger Games, starting on the morning of the reaping of the Tenth Hunger Games.
Way back when I first started talking about books on this blog, I read The Hunger Games trilogy, and boy, those old reviews are rough. But they were the first books after years of not enjoying reading that I really loved and I’m so excited to see more of the world.
