3 New Releases To Add To Your 2021 Reading List

In This Article:

There's nothing quite like snuggling up with a good book, especially during quarantine when we're all inside with nowhere else to go but the fictional worlds found within the worn pages of a novel. Books are an escape, but more than that, they're an experience. As someone who's always loved reading for these reasons and many more, I always find myself looking forward to upcoming releases for something new to sink my teeth into. From what I've seen, 2021 has a promising lineup of books on the horizon, so here are a few to keep your eye on!

1. "A Marvellous Light" by Freya Marske

A Marvellous Light (The Last Binding, #1)

www.goodreads.com

This debut novel from writer Freya Marske takes place in Edwardian England and follows Robin Blythe as he stumbles into a magical society unlike anything he's ever known that's been lurking under his nose all along. Alongside the cold and judgmental Edwin, Robin must unravel a mystery that could very well have grim consequences. As someone who loves period pieces with a fantasy twist, I can't wait to explore this new world with Robin throughout his adventure.

2. "Summers Sons" by Lee Mandelo

Summer Sons

www.goodreads.com

Lee Mandelo's up-and-coming Southern gothic tale depicts the aftermath of a broken friendship as protagonist Andrew grapples with his best friend Eddie's apparent suicide. His quest to uncover the truth behind the death reveals a trail of deceit and secrecy that will change him and his perception of Eddie forever. This novel sounds as captivating as it does soul-shattering, and I'm more than ready for the emotional wringer it is sure to put me through.

3. "The Chosen and the Beautiful" by Nghi Vo

The Chosen and the Beautiful

www.goodreads.com

F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" has been my favorite book for quite some time, so this gorgeous retelling has been a must-read for me from the moment I first caught wind of it. Told from the perspective of a reimagined Jordan Baker, this novel is set to follow her as she takes on a world of magic and intrigue amidst the familiar setting of the Roaring Twenties. I, for one, could not be more excited to see the backdrop of "The Great Gatsby" rebuilt from the ground up from this fresh new perspective.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
