The Top Ten Tuesday prompt this week from That Artsy Reader Girl is "Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the First Half of 2026." Here are ten fifteen books I know are coming between January and June that I am interested in!
Some of them are from traditional publishers, some are from small presses, and some are indie. Some have release dates, and some don't. Some are from authors I have read many things by, and some are new to me. Also, some I can find cover art for, and some I can't. For the books that have Amazon pages already, I've linked the titles to those.
Scars of the Revolution by Megan Soja (January 6) -- Christian historical fiction, American Revolution, book 3 in a series

I am finishing this very late at night, so probably won't get to other people's TTT lists until tomorrow. If you do happen to see this -- are any of these books on your list? Have you read other books by these authors?
May you enjoy them all!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lydia!
DeleteI haven't heard of any of these. I hope you enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
Susan, well, glad I could put them on your radar :-) Thanks!
DeleteGreat list! I recently read a book by BR Goodwin and I look forward to reading more by her.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cindy! Which one did you read? I've read Forget Me Knot and Southern Snow so far.
DeleteSkeletons We Find sounds promising.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading the first book in that series right now, Hours We Regret, and really liking it :-) I'm not always super into cozy mysteries, but this feels almost like a '90s TV series, like comfort TV mysteries, if that makes sense?
DeleteYou have some really interesting books on your list. Scars of the Revolution is stunning. I will definitely have to check it out. I hope you love all these books when you are able to get to them!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by, Nicole! I hope so too :-) Glad I could put Megan Soja's books on your radar! She plans to release the fourth (and final) book in that series this fall.
DeleteI hope you enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your #TTT
Thanks, Shelleyrae!
DeleteI will probably read Scars of the Revolution at some point!
ReplyDeleteMichelle, how fun! I hope we both enjoy it :-)
DeleteThese are all new to me but I hope you enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lindsi! Glad I could "introduce" you to them a little :-)
DeleteOoo, I love this list! I didn't know Lucero had another one coming, and I see several authors I've heard of but haven't picked up yet. I might need to try reading their books soon. I have Soja's new one on my TTT too, but also keep hearing about Tara Grace Ericson and Warden's upcoming releases which is exciting.
ReplyDeleteStephanie, I know -- Hannah Hood Lucero is a book-writing machine! I am glad publishing is not a race because I would not win against her, lol.
DeleteSo many great books coming out this year!
