2021 Releases for your Popsugar Reading Challenge

No, not two-thousand and twenty-one books to choose from, though it sometimes feels that way when you look through new book announcements. As well as reading a book for each Popsugar prompt, I'm going to be using them to inspire blog posts. So for starters is the first prompt to read a book published in 2021, for which there are loads of amazing sounding options. Here are just a handful of books to look forward to (and if you'd like to take a peek, you can see my whole 2021 wishlist on Amazon).
