Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the First Half of 2026. We'll see if I can narrow this down to 10 since I know quite a few are releasing this year that I want to read...I may have to narrow down the time frame, LOL! (nope, it was easier than I thought!) Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today.

DeleteGreat list! I'm just getting into Jen Atkinson's books. And the cover to Jaime's book is AMAZING. I want that book for the cover alone. I know the story will be great, but that cover! I hope you love all these books when you can get to them. 😀 Happy reading, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
