There are so many books coming out in 2026 that I’m looking forward to reading! Are any of these on your radar? Is there a book I missed that you think I should definitely include? Let me know!
OOh nice picks! The Book Witch is definitely one I'm keeping an eye on but will more than likely just buy as soon as I read one good review to convince me! Lol. The Astral Library is at the top of my watchlist for pretty much the same reasons! The Verdant Cage also sounds intriguing! Pretty sure I have this on my watchlist too! Lol. Great picks all around! I hope you love all of these once you get to read them this year!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
There are so many upcoming releases that I'm excited about! I don't know how I'll ever read them all. The Astral Library was a pretty popular pick this week!
DeleteI love the covers! I'm looking forward to My husband's wife coming out.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get a chance to read it soon and that you love it! What's the author's name?
DeleteAwesome list!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSo many great books! I love Kate Quinn! Happy Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteIt will be my first book by the author! Is there another one you'd recommend?
DeleteMy favorites of hers are The Rose Code and The Briar Club.
DeleteI'm looking forward to Game On too! And I saw Stay For A Spell on a few blogs already and it sounds really great. Hope you'll love all of these!
ReplyDeleteThe Into Darkness series is so much fun! I really hope Stay for a Spell ends up being as good as it sounds. ❤️
DeleteI hope they are good ones for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary!
DeleteI, too, am looking forward to The Book Witch! And both Astral Library and Strange Familiars sound like books I would like. :D Fun TTT list.
ReplyDeleteI feel like they all have the same vibe! I hope we both love The Book Witch. ❤️
DeleteI downloaded The Book Witch. I am a fan of Shaffer's books. The Astral Library is on my TBR too. It's so intriguing.
ReplyDeleteJealous! This will be my first book by the author. Do you have a rec?
DeleteSo many good looking books! I love the witchy theme!

I didn't even realize. 😂
DeleteThere are so many good books coming up! I could've listed more and I even listed more than the ten we were supposed to stick with! I'm curious about Game On. I've seen it around. You must've liked the first two books to list the third book here. I'll check it out.
ReplyDeleteIt was really hard to limit myself to ten. 😅 Yes! The Into Darkness series is really fun! Try Lights Out and see what you think.
DeleteThe Red Winter has a cool cover.
ReplyDeleteThe synopsis is even cooler! 😉
DeleteStay for a Spell and The Astral Library are on my list too 😊

Clearly I have a magical/witchy theme going on. 😅
DeleteI have Astral Library on my list, and I've become interested in This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me.
ReplyDeletePlease let me encourage you to absolutely read This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me (or any book by Ilona Andrews for that matter). It was such a fun read! I hope we both love The Astral Library. ❤️
DeleteNice picks. My #1 most anticipated books (a tie): This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews and Archangel's Eternity by Nalini Singh.
ReplyDeleteI need to catch up on Singh's books! I fell behind. I love the way you think though! What a great top two to have.
DeleteTHE ASTRAL LIBRARY has been super popular this week! It's on my list, too. I hope we all enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
I just made my rounds on the TTT posts and saw it SO MANY TIMES. I didn't realize, lol. It's going to be such a letdown if it doesn't live up to the hype.
DeleteI've got some of these on my list too! It's going to be such a great year!
ReplyDeleteI agree! I've also been meaning to ask you to link your blog, if you have one. I can't seem to track you down through the Blogger link.
DeleteAstral Library is super popular this week! I hope you enjoy all of these when you get a chance to read them!!
ReplyDeleteIt is! I hope it lives up to the hype. Happy reading, Cindy!
DeleteJust about all of your books are on my radar
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your #TTT
Great minds! ❤️
DeleteI almost put Red Winter on my list and will definitely be reading it sometime, cant wait to see what you think of it. I love the sound of The Faraway Inn too and am intrigued by how much you mentioned enjoying This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me in your previous post. The Verdant Cage is new to me but definitely going on my TBR too. Lovely list. I hope you love all of these.
ReplyDeleteI was lucky enough to get a physical copy of The Red Winter and can't wait to dive in! I hope we both love it. This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me is amazing and I cannot recommend it enough. ❤️ The Verdant Cage was a new addition to my TBR, but I knew it would make the list as soon as I read the description. Happy reading!
DeleteI'm also really looking forward to reading This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me!

Yay! Have you read any of their other books?
DeleteLooks like 2026 is going to be such a good year. I've seen so many great lists for this particular TTT. Hope you love all of these as much as you hope.
ReplyDeleteLynn :D
Yes! 2026 is shaping up to be an amazing year for books. ❤️
DeleteThank you, Lynn! Happy reading!
Stay for a Spell and This Kingdom Will Kill me are both on my anticipated list too, I'm still sad my Netgalley request for This Kingdom was rejected 😭.

Noooooo, that's such a bummer! I wasn't expecting an ARC on my doorstep when I entered a giveaway, but it MADE MY YEAR. Honestly, I love all of their books and could re-read them over and over again without ever getting bored. I hope you love it when you get your hands on a copy!
DeleteStay for a Spell and The Astral Library have definitely made it onto my list as a result of people's TTTs! I hadn't come across them yet. Hope all of these are fun though!
DeleteWe're always pushing books onto each other, lol. What a wonderful community to be a part of!
DeleteI haven't heard on Witch Season before, but it sounds really interesting!
ReplyDeleteI saw it on several TTT posts this week! It seems to be a popular choice and I really hope it lives up the hype.
DeleteI’m so sorry you didn’t like Beach Read. It is likely my favourite by Emily Henry.
ReplyDeleteI am really looking forward to Kate Quinn's upcoming book. I have that one on my wish list. I've enjoyed the historical fiction novels I've read by her. The Faraway Inn and Stay for a Spell also sound really good. And The Book Witch, of course. I won't be able to resist that one! Great list, Lindsi!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you got some interesting reads ahead. I love that several of them have books on the covers!
