Today I'm linking up with Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl which is all about lists. Since lists are one of my favorite things this is one of my favorite linkups! Today's topic is Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the Second Half of 2026.
1. The Vanished Sister by Sherry Thomas (September 29) - I've enjoyed this series from the beginning (though I've missed a couple that I need to catch up on) and this one looks really interesting.
2. The Key to a Killer by Olivia Blacke (October 20) - This is the third book in the Ruby and Cordelia series and I've loved the previous books. I'm looking forward to seeing how the series continues to develop.
3. See You at the Sunset by Susan Lee (August 11) - I don't know much about this author but the blurb really caught my attention, and it looks like a really entertaining read.
4. Killing in the Countryside by Maria Malone (August 11) - I absolutely loved the first book in this mix of cozy and police procedural last year and am so excited to read this one.
5. Murder on the Sacred River by Tasha Alexander (September 22) - This series is on my series list for this year and I'm enjoying reading the early books but I've liked the most recent books even more.
6. It Could Have Been Her by Lisa Jewell (July 2) - I love Lisa Jewell's books and this one looks really good. I haven't gotten to last year's book yet and I don't want to drag my feet as much with this one!
7. The Unknown by Riley Sager (August 4) - I have only read one book by this author and I really want to read more. This one sounds absolutely amazing!
8. Queen of Lombard Street by Lisa Kleypas (October 20) - I was so excited when I saw a new book from Lisa Kleypas on the upcoming release list. Kleypas is one of my absolute favorite authors and has been on a hiatus for several years. I hope all is well with her and I'm so excited to pick this one up.
9. Birth of the Witch by Nora Roberts (November 17) - I love Roberts' trilogies and this sounds like the beginning of a good one!
10. Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel by Lucy Foley (September 22) - I'm cautiously really excited about this one. This is a Miss Marple story written by Lucy Foley which makes me a bit nervous as Miss Marple is one of my favorite characters of all time. However, I read a short story collection of Miss Marple stories written by contemporary authors and Foley's one of my favorites so I have hope.
What upcoming releases are you looking forward to?
I need to get back to Lisa Jewell books. Her mysteries are always so good. Love that cover for The Vanished Sister...it looks mysterious.
ReplyDeleteNice list! Of course, I am very much anticipating the new Lady Sherlock book by Sherry Thomas. Cannot wait!! I am also curious about Birth of the Witch by Nora Roberts. I am a big fan of her trilogies too and here's another. And the Lucy Foley 'Miss Marple' adaptation. We'll see what we think, right? And I am also the biggest fan of Miss Marple. Thanks for sharing these!
ReplyDeleteI am listening to a Lisa Jewel book now with my granddaughter. It's slow going since she is reading along but it's also fun. I cannot wait for the new Thomas book and will listen.
ReplyDeleteWe interlink on the Lisa Kleypas book - sounds a bit different from what she usually writes and well of course it goes without saying for the Nora Roberts book.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I have to check out these books.
ReplyDeleteDeus caritas est!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the Miss Marple written by an author other than Agatha. I typically do not like it when authors take characters and write new stories for them, but that is probably just me.
ReplyDeleteTHE UNKNOWN is on my list this week too. I love Sager! I just read the first book in the Ruby and Cordelia series and enjoyed it, so I'm looking forward to continuing on with the series. I hope you enjoy all these.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
