Most Anticipated Reads of 2020

This decade is not messing around when it comes to new book releases. There are so many books on this list (probably more than I could read in a year), but there was no way I could pare it down any more than I have. I cannot wait to read each of these, whether it be this year, or a few years down the line.

Here are my most anticipated books of 2020! (Not all books are pictured since some still do not have covers, and all release dates are noted if known. Also, links to every book’s Goodreads page is included so you can add them to your TBR too.)

(Note: There are a bunch of books that I’m interested in that are coming out, but these are the books that I’m definitely grabbing as soon as they’re published. Also, as the year goes on and more titles are announced, this list may change.)
