And in the blink of an eye, we are half way through 2021! As I write this, I’m just under 50 books read this year which puts me way ahead of schedule for my 60 book goal. I’ll be spending a majority of Q3 on a cross country road trip with my boyfriend and my hope is to knock out another 10 or so titles on this list!

I read 5 more books this past quarter which brings up my completion percentage to 33.33%. I think that’s pretty good considering there is still 6 months left in 2021. I was easily distracted by new releases from the library the first half of the year which pulled my attention away from this list. However, the entirety of August and September I’ll be living out of my car while we travel cross country with no library access (to physical books), so I expect to get through a good chunk of these on my year long TBR.
My predictions for what I’ll have finished by end of Q3 include:
1 | Circe by Madeline Miller
2 | Survive the Night by Riley Sager
3 | One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston
4 | The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
5 | The Seven and a Half Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
6 | The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
7 | Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware
8 | The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware
9 | Memorial by Bryan Washington
I ran through my 2021 TBR with a friend the other day and their excitement over some of the titles gave me just the push and spark of inspiration I needed to knock more books off this list!
What book would you recommend I read next?
Until tomorrow, Meryn
