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!

  6. I'm a big Kelley Armstrong fan, too. I've already read FIRST SIGN OF DANGER and loved it, just like I have every book in the Rockton/Haven's Rock series. I'm looking forward to AN ORDINARY SORT OF EVIL. I adore the A Rip in Time series!

    Happy TTT!
