Hey, guys!
Today I want to take a look at the books that I DIDN’T read in 2021. Because psh, everybody can take a look at the books that they did read, right? It’s books I was actually really excited for and was waiting hard for and maybe even preordered and still didn’t read when I finally got them.
I would love to take credit for this idea but the truth is that I found this at Donna’s MomsBookCollection and was just dying to try it too. Go take a look at her post, her blog is so nice.





The Castle of Tangled Magic by Sophie Anderson
Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim
Daughter of the Deep by Rick Riordan
The Sun is also a Star by Nicola Yoon
Dark Waters by Katherine Arden





Hollowpox by Jessica Townsend
Legendborn by Tracy Deonn
Aurora Burning by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
The long way to a small angry planet by Becky Chambers
Wonderscape by Jennifer Bell
These are books I really wanted to read last year and still didn’t. I really hope that I will get to them as well as to the books that are coming out this year that I really want to read.
Have you read any of the books on my list? Which ones should I start with?
I would highly recommend Hollowpox!! That one is just amazing~
I knooooooow. I loved the first two. I just cannot decide if I should do a reread before I start Hollowpox or if I should just dive in. That decision is kinda paralyzing.
Just dive in then! I had no problem just diving in when I finally could read Hollowpox.
Thank you for the kind shoutout! so happy you did this, love seeing what other people did not get to. Makes me feel like i am not the only one not reading the books they are excited for. I still need to read Legendborn by Tracy Deonn.
Well, of course! I got the idea from you! ๐
I’m also glad I’m not the only one. First you are super excited and then you don’t feel like it and that feels somehow wrong? It’s really strange and somehow funny. I hope we’ll both get to the books we didn’t get to last year. Next year we can compare. XD
I’ve read a couple of these, though several others are still waiting on my TBR, too. While I loved Legendborn, I’d suggest starting with the thinner books because it feels good to check them off the list. ๐ Definitely read Dark Waters so that you can finish the series when the last one comes out this year!
You are absolutely right. I think I’m a bit wary of thicker books in general. And with that I mean everything over 300 pages. Dark Waters I’m really looking forward to but in the end I always just put it aside when I’m looking for a new book to read.
Most of the books I read are in the under 300 pages group as well. Thicker books seem to be more likely to have filler in them, at least from the books I’ve read recently. Maybe I’ve just been picking the wrong books.
I hope you enjoy Dark Waters when you get to it!
I read Aurora Rising last year and I need to finish the series this year too!
I wanted to do a buddy read with this one but when the time came I was just not in the mood for it. I was thinking about listening to the audiobook instead, the first one was really good. ๐
Great list! I also hope to read Daughter of the Deep, Legendborn and Hollowpox this year! Aurora Burning is amazing btw and I can’t wait to see what happens in the finale. I hope you enjoy all of these books ๐
[…] Books I didnโt read in 2021 // Will I read them inย 2022? […]
Great list! I’m hoping to read dark waters as well!
I didn’t read Daughter of the Deep and Legenborn either last year. hopefully this year.
Hollowpox and The Long Way are awesome!
