Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week the theme is Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the Second Half of 2026
A Study in Sparkling by Jodi McAlister (July)- I am going to the launch of this one and can't wait!
Matcha on Monday by Michiko Aoyama (July) - This is the second book in the Marble Cafe series and is out later this week.
Time Travel for Beginners by Jaclyn Moriarty (August)- This one is a bit outside my normal wheelhouse but it does sound like fun!
The German Ward by Pip Williams (September)- I am going to a book event for this one too!
The Birthing Tree by Amanda Peters (September) - The Berry Pickers was a five star read for me so I have high hopes for this one.
Paper Ghosts by Sarah Addison Allen (September) - I haven't actually read a SAA book in years, but I still look forward to every new release
The Cairo Bridal Shop by Tess Woods (September) - Looking forward to this one!
Grim Tidings by B K Borison (September)- I only own one book with sprayed edges which is Good Spirits, the precursor to this book. I have pre-ordered the sprayed edges version of this book too!
Orlando by Harry Whittaker (November) - This book is set in the same world as The Seven Sisters series by Lucinda Riley. This is her son who is continuing the series. It could be great. Or it could not be. I will have to read to find out!
The Heart Note by Vanessa McCausland (December) - I have loved the Vanessa McCausland books I have read and this one sounds great too!
Looks like September is going to be a bumper month for new books! Do you have any of these on your list?




Oh. I read another book by Pip Williams and remember liking it. Now if I could just remember what it was. Looks like a nice, varied list.
