This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is 2021 releases I didn’t get to. I did a post like this not too long ago but as I was scrolling through my Goodreads I realised there were more 2021 releases that I was meaning to get to that slipped through the cracks, so why not make another post I can come back to if I need some help picking a book to read!

5 more new releases I didn’t get to were:

Cytonic by Brandon Sanderson

Girls of Fate and Fury by Natasha Ngan

Lore by Alexandra Bracken

53375824

I managed to complete a series I have been reading for over a year now and completed a couple of books from my physical TBR that I’ve owned now for over 2 years.

Backlist Readathon Wrap Up

by amyleighreadsLeave a Comment on Backlist Readathon Wrap Up

Last week I managed to read 4 books and wrap up a series I have been wanting to catch up on in a very long time! I was able to incorporate all of the prompts and surpassed the goal I set for myself so I am super stoked with how this readathon went! I decided to scrap The Black Prism that was on my TBR for the time being, simply because I find I’m in the middle of too many series at the moment and I didn’t want to start a new epic fantasy series of 6 books until I wrapped up a few I am already in the middle of. 

The books I read for the Backlist Readathon are:

Girls of Storm and Shadow by Natasha Ngan

43558747

Frozen Tides, Crystal Storm & Immortal Reign by Morgan Rhodes

173427012336726123367265

I really enjoyed this readathon! I liked being able to look at my shelves and prioritise the books I have been wanting to read for a while now. Like I said I wrapped up a fantasy series I have been in the middle of for over a year now and read a late 2019 release I have been putting off as well, I know if I didn’t read it this week I probably wouldn’t for months and months.
