For That Artsy Reader Girl’s Top Ten Tuesday:

January 18: 2021 Releases I Was Excited to Read But Didn’t Get To
There were a lot of these! Keeping it to ten…

The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins – What can I say? I love domestic thrillers and Jane Eyre fanfiction so the combo appeals to me!

The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner – A dual timeline novel involving an eighteenth century poisoner and a modern historian who stumbles upon evidence of the crimes. Sounds like fun.

Libertie by Kaitlyn Greenidge – I read a book years ago about some of the first female doctors and it sparked a bit of an interest in the subject. This novel is about one of the first Black female doctors in the United States.

Matrix by Lauren Groff – I’ve liked a lot of Groff’s past work. This looks like a bit of a change of pace for her.

The Book of Magic by Alice Hoffman – This is the conclusion of the Practical Magic series. I liked the first two but was disappointed in the third. I still want to read this one though.

The Maidens by Alex Michaelides – I wasn’t a huge fan of Michaelides debut, The Silent Patient (I thought it was alright but nothing special) but his follow up looks interesting, and I love the whole “dark academia” aesthetic.

House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland – I’ve read several rave reviews of this one

The Comfort Book by Matt Haig – I don’t know if this is actually comforting, but just in case it is, I don’t want to miss out!

The Last House on Needless Street by Caitriona Ward– For some reason I find the title of this really intriguing.

The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix – A few people in my book club have recommended this one.
Oh man, yes. There were so many books I was excited about in 2021 and didn’t have a chance to read yet. Much of your list looks too tense for me right now, but I’ve seen The Lost Apothecary around a lot and I’ve really curious about it.

Good point, tense can be good when it comes to keeping you reading!

When I make these lists I often tend to gravitate toward books that fit the mood I’m in at the moment.

The Final Girl Support Group and House of Hollow are both on my TBR too, after reading rave reviews too. 🙂
