If you are unaware what the Buzzword Readathon/Challenge is see my prior post HERE.
This month the buzzword theme is Time and just like last month I have a couple of options:

Buzzword Reading Challenge
The Buzzword Readathon is a monthly readathon created by BooksandLala on booktube. It’s run the first week of each month (1st through 7th) with each month having a designated word/word theme and you have a week to read as many books as you like with that word in the title. You can however use it as a year long readathon and read just ONE book each month featuring the monthly buzzword until you complete the whole challenge which is what I am going to do for the rest of the year. I didn’t have anything that matched January’s buzzword but I am going to endeavour to complete the rest of the year!
With all that being said February’s Buzzword is a colour and I have a few options I can pick from:

For this weeks Top Ten Tuesday I am going to go with new releases I wish I read from 2020.

Books I Wish I Read this year
I honestly don’t know where this year has gone! It’s now Boxing Day and it will be 2020 next week, like huh? With that being said there are a few books I had every intention of reading this year but time has gotten away with me and it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen, so I thought I would list them here, that way I will have a reference to look back on for next year!
So this is 5 books I wish I read in 2019
The Astonishing Color of After by Emily X.R. Pan – this was a ‘me’ issue. I feel like I have to be in the right frame of mind of read this book and I just haven’t been there!
The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton – this has been on my TBR for ages now and I have been meaning to pick it up every month but it just hasn’t happened yet.
On the Come Up by Angie Thomas – I really wanted to read this book this year! It was so hyped and I don’t think I’ve heard a bad review for it; I just didn’t get a chance to get to it…
Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire – The Wayward Children series is so well loved and I had every intention of giving at least the first book a read this year to see if I feel the same way, but again it didn’t happen.
The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi – This was another book that was super hyped at the start of this year and I ended up buying it because of that. I wanted to read it to see if the hype was justified or not but I haven’t had the time to get into it yet.

These are five of my favourite quotes from the last 5 books that I have completed!

The Star Touched Queen by Roshani Chokshi

House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig
“Nights like this were meant to be shared, remembers, and talked about for years. Skies like this were meant to be kissed under.”
All These Beautiful Strangers by Elizabeth Klehfoth
“In many ways, my mother, my father—the people I was closest to, the people who meant the most to me—were strangers. Beautiful strangers.”
Paper Towns by John Green
“It is so hard to leave—until you leave. And then it is the easiest goddamned thing in the world.”
