TBR: June 2021 Reading List

biblionerdreflections4 Comments

I did okay with the pace I set for last month, and I actually finished my TBR before the end of the month. So, I plan to keep the same total of expected reads for this month. Given that it is Pride month, I plan to read and review only books with LGBT authors or characters in June. If you follow my blog at all, you know I regularly read a ton of these stories anyway, but I want to do something special to commemorate the month.

In total, I plan to read 10 books in June 2021. I may end up reading more than this, but I don’t think I will because I don’t want to get burned out.

My list for this month includes the following books:

My 6 Most Anticipated June 2021 Releases

Hello, everyone! Today I am going to be counting down my six most anticipated releases of June 2021. I plan to add each of these to my bookshelves next month (unless I’ve been lucky enough to get an advanced copy).

#6 – This Poison Heart by Kalynn Bayron

Release Date: June 29, 2021

Goodreads Rating: 4.30 out of 5 Stars

What Caught My Eye: The beautiful cover grabbed my attention on NetGalley, and the description for the book piqued my interest. This is the book I’m currently reading since I was lucky enough to get an eARC through NetGalley. The premise is interesting, and I love the mystery surrounding the MC’s power so far.

#5 – Seven Deaths of an Empire by G. R. Matthews

Release Date: June 22, 2021

Goodreads Rating: 3.97 out of 5 stars

What Caught My Eye: I saw other people talking about this one on Twitter. It seems to have lots of politics, scheming, magic, and action, which makes me excited about it as those are all things I love reading.

#4 – The Wolf and the Woodsman by Ava Reid

Release Date: June 8, 2021

Goodreads Rating: 4.07 out of 5 stars

What Caught My Eye: Once again, a gorgeous cover pulled me in to read more about it. After I read the synopsis, I knew there was no way this was not going on my TBR. I love historical fiction, fantasy, and mythology, and this book looks like an interesting blend of all three.

#3 – Daughter of Sparta by Claire M. Andrews

Release Date: June 8, 2021

Goodreads Rating: 4.42 out of 5 stars

What Caught My Eye: The word Sparta. Seriously, though. I love history, especially the Greco-Roman time period. And it is a retelling of a myth. I’m sold.

#2 – The Darkness Outside Us by Eliot Schrefer

Release Date: June 1, 2021

Goodreads Rating: 4.49 out of 5 stars

What Caught My Eye: I wanted the ARC of this from NetGalley so bad. Unfortunately, I was declined (most likely due to my abysmal feedback ratio). I was sold after the first words of the synopsis: “Two boys, alone in space.” So, I’m definitely going to be picking this one up next week.

#1 – Star Wars: The High Republic: The Rising Storm by Cavan Scott

Release Date: June 29, 2021

Goodreads Rating: 3.53 out of 5 stars

What Caught My Eye: Um. The words Star Wars. 🙂 I read pretty much everything Star Wars, and I’ve enjoyed all the stories from the High Republic era so far. I’ve been waiting not so patiently for this one ever since Light of the Jedi first came out.

So, there you have it! My six most anticipated books of June 2021. Are any of these on your TBR? Let me know in the comments!
