Top Ten Tuesday: Looking Forward to in 2020 - Adult Edition

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is...

Looking Forward To in 2020!

It seems my 2020 TBR has grown since my post last week, where I shared the YA books I am looking forward to in 2020. This shelf does not only house YA book, there are also many adult books I am looking forward to, and today, I will share 10 of those picks with you. Many of these are from authors I have read and LOVED, a few are adult debuts by some of my favorite YA authors, while others are just books that sound perfect for me.

What 2020 releases are you looking forward to reading?

  3. I am so here for adult romance books getting the pretty covers they deserve. Real Men Knit made it to my list too and it sounds really fun (and precious).

    1. She had me at knitting! But, seriously, love the family focus and the promise of a sensitive male lead.

    1. I am really curious to see what Henry does in the adult contemporary realm. I love her YA books, so it's a no brainer to try an adult contemporary romance from her

  8. Is Katherine Center the author of What you Save in a Fire? Because that cover looks so much like that other book!

    1. Yes, Center wrote that book, and I loved it so much, I will pounce on anything new she releases.

  9. The Two Lives of Lydia Bird is on my list, too. My arc request was declined (oh well) but I guess March 3 is so very far off.

    1. I was declined on NG, but I am still holding out for EW. You never know.

  10. I am super excited to read The Two Lives of Lydia Bird as well. Not too much longer for it! I hope that you enjoy all of these titles. Happy New Year!

    1. I tried to focus on first half of the year releases, and Lydia Bird was high on my list, because I simply adored One Day in December

  11. My TBR shelf is prominently YA so its really nice to see some amazing books geared towards adults that are coming out this year. I love Talia Hibbert her books are absolutely amazing!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. My shelf is primarily contemporary, but I do read across age groups. I had already done YA, and there are so many phenomenal adult books coming out, I had to throw some love their way. Yes! My first Hibbert book, Chloe Brown, was a hit. I am looking forward to reading more of her books and getting back into that world as well

    1. I already did YA, so why not show some love for the adult books I am itching to read

  14. Most of these are new to me (although I think I've heard of Real Men Knit). Hope you like these!

    1. Knit is one of the few new-to-me authors on my list. Many of these are from authors I have previously read and LOVED.

  15. I cannot wait for Center's next book! I love her writing. I'm hoping it's only getting better.

    1. I am obsessed with her. After Fire, I read How to Walk Away (amazing) and Get Lucky, which was also very good. This new one sounds like another winner for me

      Delete
  16. All new to me. Not surprising I have been out of the reading gig for a bit. Real Men Knit looks good.

    1. It does look great, though it is by a new-to-me author, I am very excited about the premise of the story

  17. This is a fantastic list. I just finished Get a Life, Chloe Brown last night so I really want that next book too. I'm also excited for Katherine Center's next book. Real Men Knit looks cool too.

    1. Did you love Chloe and Red? I loved them, and the sisters have a great energy. I am excited to get back into that world. Center blew me away with her last two books, so I am up for more of that

  18. The Two Lives of Lydia Bird is the only one already on my TBR, but I feel like I need to add a few of the others! Great list, Sam! <3

  20. I'm looking forward to the next Alison Weir Tudor Queens book coming out this month, a couple of horror and thriller books with winter settings like Snowball and Voices in the Snow, the new Mercy Thompson book...exciting!

    1. It sounds sooo good, and I have had good luck with Frederick's books too. I think it will be a winner

  24. My favorite part of this post is the overall aesthetic of these covers! Lately, I've been soooo into covers with drawn characters and script over them with the solid color background. You know, like The Trouble with Hating You and The Boyfriend Project. I *really* gravitate to them. I have no idea why!

    1. I have always been into covers. Confession - I am a cover-ho, cover-snob, cover-lover, etc, etc. Those covers are great. I especially love the color combination on The Trouble with Hating You.

      Delete
  25. These all look like cute, fun reads. Hope you enjoy them all!!

    ReplyDelete
  26. so many great choices on here!! I hope you adore them all <3

  27. Every single one of these covers should be a legit poster. That is basically it. I am not a huge contemporary reader in general, and even less so in adult books (all the adult books on my list are dreary and awful, I'm sure hah) but some of these look REALLY cute. I will look out for the ones you loved and try a few!

    1. I avoid literary fiction like the plague, because I find those books to heavy and depressing, but romances, *real* romances always leave me in a good mood.

      Delete
  28. Ah this is such a good list, thank you so much for making me discover all of these new titles! I adore these covers so much as well. The only book already on my TBR is The Trouble with Hating You, but I think I'll have to add a couple of these to it :D

    1. Glad you found a few that appealed to you. TTT always results in a TBR explosion for me.

  29. I'm curious about any romance that has a title like Ghosting! Ghosting isn't typically conducive to romance, lol. :)
    Take A Hint, Dani Brown is also one I'm curious about... after I read Chloe Brown!

    1. Go! Read Chloe Brown. It was so good. I loved it so much, and that's why I must read Dani Brown. I read another romance that had to do with ghosting, last year maybe. It's an interesting jumping off point for a romance.

  30. Awesome list Sam! Yes to Heart and Seoul :) I need to check out Last Tang Standing! I love multicultural literature/fiction :)

  31. When it comes to what romantic and contemporary books to add to my tbr, I almost completely lean on your blog. So while I don't know any of these books, I know your reviews will be coming and I am looking forward to seeing what you think so I know what I need to add to my tbr. :D

    1. I do hope to read ALL of these. At least I know I will definitely be reading Beach Read, because I recently got a DRC for that. A bright spot for me last week
