Top Ten Tuesday is a feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is: Most Anticipated Book Releases for the First Half of 2026
And now… books!
Let’s just go by month. It’s better for everyone, or at least better for me. I all the books and such, because I am awesome. If you want to see all the 2026 books I added to my TBR, here they are!

Also, obviously publishing dates change, but it’s what it says as of this post. Also I absolutely forgot some.

Read ’em, loved ’em:

Emiko’s is on my list and I am part curious about Beth is Dead and part reader horrified by its premise. Still, I did once feel that way about the Austen Zombie book too and did end up finding that one quite entertaining. 😉 Hope you enjoy these all!
I had to laugh at the title I WILL KILL YOUR IMAGINARY FRIEND FOR $200.
A very comprehensive list!
Have a great week!

I have Dead Weight on my TBR as well. Her previous book left me wondering what the heck just happened. I wonder if this will be the same.

My worry, too. I hope this one wraps up a bit more!
There are so many great books coming out this year! Out of the Loop looks fun 😊

There are so many amazing books on the way. Thanks for putting The Fox and the Devil on my radar. It sounds amazing and it’s going on my tbr!
I’m super curious about We Burned So Bright.
I got a copy of Beth is Dead through Booktrovert, excited to read it.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
So many books!
I hope to query at least one of my books this year.
The Verdant Cage made my list too! I almost put All We Have Is Time in my TTT also. I hope we’re able to get to all of the ones we’re excited about. 🙂
Wow, great list! I feel like at least we’ll have amazing books to read in 2026, if nothing else😂 I have so many of these on my list. I just got a copy of The Gatepost, I’m so excited! And Headlights is high up there too. I’ll have to come back later because there are a bunch that are new to me, and I need to check them out!
