Since I’m not going to be buying any more books this year my TBR is kind of set for the rest of 2020 but there are a few new releases that have slipped through the cracks that unfortunately I am probably not going to get the chance to read this year.
5 NEW RELEASES I WISH I READ THIS YEAR ARE:
Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Burn Our Bodies Down by Rory Power
Dark and Deepest Red by Anna-Marie McLemore
Queen of Volts by Amanda Foody
Home Before Dark by Riley Sager
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is book’s you’ve been recommended. I have never really been told by anyone to read a certain book before so I thought I would go to my Goodreads and see based on my different shelves the ten books they recommend I should pick up next!

Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb
Jade City by Fonda Lee
Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

Just like last year I have decided that every three months I will go through my reading list and pick out the top 10 favourite books I have read during that time. Then at the end of the year I will compile my list and pick out my top 10 overall of 2020. If you want to read any of my reviews for these books just click on the titles!
So my reading recommendations for January, February and March are:
Sadie by Courtney Summers
Lock Every Door by Riley Sager
Loveboat, Taipei by Abigail Hing Wen
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
Red Rising by Pierce Brown
Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant
Frankly in Love by David Yoon
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz
Wicked Fox by Kat Cho
The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien
This was actually quite a diverse reading month for me in terms of genre. We have a few hard hitting contemporaries, epic fantasy, portal fantasy, romance and mystery/thrillers. I didn’t have the highest amount of books read but the quality and substance of all the books I completed was pretty good!
Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb – ⭐️3/5 stars
Sadie by Courtney Summers – ⭐️4/5 stars
The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern – ⭐️3/5 stars
The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow – ⭐️3/5 stars
Lock Every Door by Riley Sager – ⭐️4/5 stars
Loveboat, Taipei by Abigail Hing Mei – ⭐️4/5 stars
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas – ⭐️4/5 stars
Broken Knight by L.J. Shen – ⭐️3/5 stars
Red Rising by Pierce Brown – ⭐️5/5 stars
Frankly in Love by David Yoon – ⭐️4/5 stars
The Kiss Thief by L.J. Shen – ⭐️2/5 stars
I have figured out over the last year that I actually really enjoy mystery/thriller books. I had previously just stuck to either fantasy or contemporary but I have finally broadened my reading horizons’ to include some other genres which I greatly enjoy!
These are the five mystery/thriller books I plan to read this year:
The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
Lock Every Door by Riley Sager
The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware
The Shining by Stephen King
Watching You by Lisa Jewell
