My goal for 2020 was to read the books I own that I haven't read yet. And, I read most of them. But with the new books that I wanted to read and access to my Library's ebooks, I did that more than I read the ones I own. I have 6 from 2019 and before that I have unread, and three that I got in 2020 that are unread. There were also some books I wanted to re-read that I didn't get to. Finding the motivation to read through most of 2020 was a struggle.

Owned Unread Books from before 2020

Blood's Pride and Fortune's Blight by Evie Manieri -  Books one and two of Shattered Kingdoms series. I think it's just a trilogy. I don't have the third book, but I have had these two books on my shelf for I think three years at this point and I haven't tried to start reading them. They were a "mistake" purchase. Their covers look very similar to a different series, and I bought them thinking they were those books.

The Shadow Hour and The Savage Dawn by Melissa Grey - Books two and three of the Girl at Midnight trilogy. I first read book one way back in 2015 when I got a copy from NetGalley, and re-read it last year after I got the whole trilogy meaning to read the rest of the trilogy but never got around to it. I should really get on that.

Beyond a Darkened Shore by Jessica Leake - This one I just kept forgetting that I own it. I think I was about to start it but got a book I was on hold for at the library so I put it back on my shelf.

Archenemies and SuperNova by Marissa Meyer - Another set of series ending books. This one was mostly because I was/am hesitant, I thought this was going to be a duology, and when it wasn't and I got some minor spoilers for how parts of the plot are handled, I wasn't sure if it would be worth it. But I still like the writing and the characters. (though I got Supernova in 2020)

Owned Unread Books from 2020

Seven Endless Forests by April Genevieve Tucholke - Spinoff standalone of The Boneless Mercies. Inspired by Arthurian legends. Boneless Mercies was fantastic, and this is set in the same world. I am very much looking forward to when I get to this one. 

A Heart So Fierce and Broken by Brigid Kemmerer - Book two of the Cursebreakers trilogy (?). I'd really like to get this one read before the third book comes out, and I honestly have no excuse. I have two copies... an Ecopy, and a physical copy. I never buy multiple copies. That is how much I love this series and this author's writing, and the characters. 

Unowned books I wanted to read

Hollowpox: The Hunt for Morrigan Crow by Jessica Townsend - There are so many other books I wanted to read, but this was a book I was highly anticipating, but my library didn't have a kindle version so I wasn't able to borrow a copy. I should just buy them because they're books I would 1000% re-read.
