Happy Tuesday!<\/p>\n

Top Ten Tuesday<\/a>\u00a0is a Bookish Meme hosted by\u00a0That Artsy Reader Girl<\/a>, and this week’s theme is MOST ANTICIPATED RELEASES FOR JULY-DECEMBER 2020!<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I love this theme on Top Ten Tuesday. Much like the seasonal #tbrs, I’m love making lists of what I want to read… and less good at sticking to them. But! For my most anticipated releases<\/a> from January-June 2020, I did read 7… out of 20.<\/p>\n

For today’s post, I’m including 10 YA books, 2 middle grade books, and 1 adult book that I’m looking forward to reading in the second half of this year, plus 7 books that I’ve already read and loved!<\/p>\n

And now without any further ado, here’s this week’s Top Ten Tuesday!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s 200 years after Cinderella found her prince, but the fairy tale is over. Teen girls are now required to appear at the Annual Ball, where the men of the kingdom select wives based on a girl\u2019s display of finery. If a suitable match is not found, the girls not chosen are never heard from again.
\nSixteen-year-old Sophia would much rather marry Erin, her childhood best friend, than parade in front of suitors. At the ball, Sophia makes the desperate decision to flee, and finds herself hiding in Cinderella\u2019s mausoleum. There, she meets Constance, the last known descendant of Cinderella and her step sisters. Together they vow to bring down the king once and for all\u2013and in the process, they learn that there\u2019s more to Cinderella\u2019s story than they ever knew . . .<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
