Hi everybody, and welcome to a new Top Ten Tuesday!
Today’s all about the 2020 books we predict that’ll be 5-star reads. And at first I was really excited about this, because I’m excited about a lot of books but then… it turned out it’s no so easy to predict which books will be 5-star reads and which won’t. I may love a book, but the difference between a 4-star or 4,5-star rating and a 5-star rating is hugely emotional for me and often not only has to do with the book itself, but the emotions I felt while reading it, how invested in the characters I am, how big my book hangover is… Basically, IT’S HARD.
But I tried! So while this list is a little shorter than usual, I think most of these will become 5-star reads for sure. Let’s check in again at the end of the year 😉
 
Hunting Fiends for the Ill-Equipped & all other remaining books in the Guild Codex series by Annette Marie
Let’s see, I’ve been raving about this series for a while now. I’ve LOVED every single book so far – so chances are highly likely that I’ll adore all upcoming releases as well!
BONE CRIER’S MOON BY KATHRYN PURDIE
Enemies-to-lovers. An intricate fantasy world. And a gorgeous cover. Hitting all my spots. Sounds like 5 stars to me.
LOVELESS BY ALICE OSEMAN
Asexual representation written by Alice Oseman? This book already has a spot in my heart and I haven’t even read it yet.
Only Mostly Devastated by Sophie Gonzalez
SIMON VS. THE HOMO SAPIENS AGENDA meets CLUELESS in this boy-meets-boy spin on Grease. I mean YASSSS!
Look, I’m a pen pal-trope addict. There I said it. I’m also an enemies-to-lovers addict. AND I love Twitter. So enemies hashing it out through Twitter and falling for eachother in real life? YES PLEASE. Basically, this book was written for me and you can’t tell me otherwise.
Heartstopper volume 3 by Alice Oseman
Again, it’s Alice Oseman. It’s also the cutest graphic novel ever. It’s a safe bet to say this’ll be another 5 stars.
Fence Vol 4 by CS Pacat and Johanna The Mad
MORE FENCE! FINALLY! I feel like I’ve been waiting for the next installment in this fencing graphic novel forever.
Tell Me:
what’s a book you predict will be a 5-star read for you in 2020?
“Tweet Cute” is, well, quite cute! Hope you enjoy this one if/when you have the chance to read it, Lindsey. I like what you say about how you determine high ratings. The characters and how much we invest IS a big part of an enjoyable reading experience. 🙂
Thanks Rissi!
Ooh more Annette Marie looks fun. And Alice Oseman too- I need to read more of her books, loved Radio Silence.
Radio Silence was amazing!
I had a hard time picking mine this week, too. 5-star reads for me are ‘almost’ perfect books, so it’s hard to predict them. 😉 Great list!
It is indeed so hard to predict 5-star reads, for me it’s partly emotional so that’s almost impossible to predict 🙂
Great list! I’m hoping to love Loveless, too – I want more aro-ace rep in fiction – and I really need to try Annette Marie’s work this year. I hope you enjoy all of these!
We definitely need more aro-ace rep! Hope you’ll enjoy Annette Marie’s books when you decide to give them a try 🙂
Heartstopper is so cute. I can’t wait to see how it continues.
It is the cutest – reading it just makes me smile 🙂
Not surprised about the Annette Marie books. I know how much you love that author! 😀
Haha I am pretty predictable like that 😉
Looks like a great list for a lot of 5 star reads!! Loveless is one I’m hoping to read.
TTT
Thanks! Hope you’ll love Loveless!
Yes, it’s definitely hard to predict 5-star reads in advance. I hope all of your predictions are correct.
My TTT .
It is definitely hard 🙂
I’m super excited about Fence, Heartstopper, and Only Most Devastated as well!

Here’s hoping they’ll live up to all our expectations 🙂
Great list! I loved Tweet Cute.
Thanks! Glad to hear you loved Tweet Cute!
I’m hoping Tweet Cute will be a 5 star read, too.
I hope you’ll love Tweet Cute! 🙂
These all sound great and I hope you enjoy them very much. Happy reading!
Thanks! 🙂
These are pretty much all new to me, but I hope you love them all!!
Thanks! 🙂
I hope these are all 5 stars for you! I’ve seen lots of good reviews for Tweet Cute.
Thanks! I read and loved Tweet Cute in the meantime – not 5 stars for me, but still really good!
I love your list. I thought Tweet Cute was adorable. I hope you find a lot of 5 star reads this year.
Thanks! I read Tweet Cute in the meantime and it was adorable indeed 🙂
It really is hard to predict 5 star reads. I think it’s a pretty safe bet that you’ll love those Annette Marie books, lol. I’ve also heard great things about Tweet Cute.
It’s definitely not easy to predict – but those Annette Marie books are a pretttty safe bet haha 🙂
