Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is Most Anticipated Books Releasing During the Second Half of 2024.
But oops – last week’s topic was Books on My Summer 2024 to-Read List, and since I didn’t look at upcoming topics, I focused my list only on new releases for summer 2024… which means for this week, I have to come up with 10 more!
Fortunately, I never lack for books to look forward to (although the books already on my shelves are giving me some serious side-eye as I write this)… but I couldn’t quite come up with ten more must-read new releases, so…
Here are NINE new releases — coming July through December 2024 — that I can’t wait to read:









Listed in order of release date:
- Drop Dead by Lily Chu (8/1/2024)
- The Life Impossible by Matt Haig (9/3/2024)
- Somewhere Beyond the Sea by TJ Klune (9/10/2024)
- Songs for the Brokenhearted by Ayelet Tsabari (9/10/2024)
- So Thirsty by Rachel Harrison (9/10/2024)

Well, now I have to go look at your list from last week too!!

I realize I probably should have just combined my lists! 🙂
These books look like amazing reads! I’m going to put some of these on my TBR. 🌺🩷
Awesome! I hope we both read some great books!
I put Matt Haig’s new one on my TTT list this week, too. I need to go look up the other books on your list; I suspect I’ll be adding several of them to my own TBR list. 😀
I’m so excited for a new Matt Haig book! I don’t even know what it’s about, but I know I’ll want to read it no matter what 🙂
Somewhere Beyond the Sea is going to be fantastic!
I think so too!
Fab list, Somewhere beyond the sea is on my list!
So excited for that one! Although I need to a reread of Cerulean Sea first…
I’m so curious about Somewhere Beyond the Sea.
His books are always so good!
Great list. I could only envision this week’s prompt stealing from my fall tbr list that I’m building….🤷♀️then I’d need 10 more 😂 #bookproblems
Right??? That leaves me with nothing for my fall TBR post… although I really should start paying more attention to books I already own.
I’ll Be Waiting has an awesome cover.

I love that cover too!
I just got an ARC of I’LL BE WAITING in the mail. I love Armstrong’s books! I hope you enjoy all these.
Happy TTT!

That’s awesome! I’ve loved everything I’ve read by Kelley Armstrong so far!
Great list. I’ll be reading some of them for sure.
There’s just so much to look forward to!
So Thirsty is probably my most anticipated book for the second half of the year. I’m hoping it’s just as good as Black Sheep😁
Me too! And between now and when it comes out, I hope to read The Return, which is the only one of her books I haven’t read yet.
Looks like a great list. Hope you enjoy them all.
Thank you! There’s so much to look forward to!
The Naturalist Society looks great, I really want to read more historical fantasies and the magic system in this one sounds so unique and cool!
I thought so too! Plus, I’ve read several other books by the author so far, and she’s so talented!
Ahh awesome, I have not heard about this author before, glad to hear they are consistently good 🙂 !
I have my eye on both So Thirsty and The Naturalist Society.
They both look great — I hope we enjoy them!
I hope you enjoy all of these and hopefully find at least a few new favourites. I’m going to have to double check but I think I have that Kelley Armstrong book on my tbr. If not I don’t know how I missed it.
My most anticipated releases for the rest of the year are Lady Macbeth, The Ending Fire & Divine Mortals.
I’ve seen some interesting reviews for Lady MacBeth — hope you enjoy it!
Thank you.
