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 in the First Half of 2026.

I have a huge list of upcoming new releases that I’m planning to read. Between ARCs and preorders for books by favorite authors, I’m in no danger of running out of reading options!

As always, it’s difficult to narrow down the list to just ten. Here are some of the books I’m really looking forward to, with release dates between now and the end of June. (I could probably add another ten… but I’ll save those for another day!)

Listed in order of release date:

1. Love Me Tomorrow by Emiko Jean (2/3/2026)
2. The Harvey Girl by Dana Stabenow (3/5/2026)
3. The Book Witch by Meg Shaffer (4/7/2026)
4. The Name Game by Beth O’Leary (4/7/2026)
5. We Burn So Bright by TJ Klune (4/28/2026)
6. Our Perfect Storm by Carley Fortune (5/5/2026)
7. The Shippers by Katherine Center (5/19/2026)
8. An Ordinary Sort of Evil (A Rip Through Time, #5) by Kelley Armstrong (5/19/2026)
