These are the 5 book series I am definitely going to start this year (hopefully lol)!
The Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee
First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie
The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan
The Expanse series by James S.A. Corey
The Licanius trilogy by James Islington
As per this week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt these are ten authors that I haven’t read from yet that hopefully I will rectify this year!
Stephen King (yikes I know)
Tamsyn Muir
Robert Jordan
Aiden Thomas
Frank Herbert
Colleen Hoover
James S.A. Corey
Joe Abercrombie
Sarah Pinborough
Paul Tremblay
I’ve been redoing tags that I did last year just to see how they compare so I figure why not continue on and do this one!
The Girl and the Mountain by Mark Lawrence
Bloodwitch by Susan Dennard
Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn
The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch
I don’t annotate books ever so none…
Aurora’s End by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen – I lent this book to someone and it was never returned
Vicious by V.E. Schwab – I bought a new edition that matches my edition of Vengeful
Illuminae by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff – my mum argued that she bought it for me but she didn’t lol
Lord of Chaos by Robert Jordan – It’s the only book in this series I haven’t found second hand yet
Around this time last year I made a post about 10 books that I thought would be 5 stars so this is my update! I had high hopes last year when I made this list and unfortunately I haven’t had a chance to read them all.. I already only read 3 out of the 10 (yikes lol). I will very much be prioritising the other 7 books this year as I do think they will still be 5 stars!
Act your age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert – 5/5 stars LOVED IT
Witchshadow by Susan Dennard – 3/5 stars Disappointing!
The Girl and the Stars by Mark Lawrence – 2/5 stars Underwhelming
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is a freebie so I decided to go with a prompt from around this time last year which was opening lines. Just like last year I decided to go with the first line from 10 books on my physical TBR! These are all very high on my reading list and seeing some of these opening lines definitely makes me excited to get into a few of them!!

“The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages comes and pass, leaving memories that become legend.”

Blood and Honey by Shelby Mahurin
“Dark clouds gathered overhead.”
