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!

DeleteI have The Kingdom Will Not Kill Me on my list too, and a few others that just didn’t quite make the official post :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your #TTT
I started This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me while in Italy but there was too much going on to give it my full attention so I set it aside. I want to get back to it soon!
DeleteI did not realize there was a new Beth O'Leary book!
ReplyDeleteI'm also intrigued with This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me.
Yes, I've enjoyed her books over the last few years!
DeleteI'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!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
She's so good and such a prolific writer! I'm hoping to get to First Sign of Danger soon!
