Top Ten Tuesday: Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the First Half of 2026

 

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Artsy Reader where each week they post a new top ten list and ask fellow bookish folk to share their lists on that topic.


This week the theme is: Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the First Half of 2026

I tried to keep it to ten books but it somehow turned into fifteen!
