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  Goals for 2026 (Bookish or not! Share your reading goals, personal goals, etc.).

Since I already shared my bookish goals at the start of January, I’m going rogue! Today’s TTT post is essentially part two of last week’s list (my most anticipated books for the first half of 2026). This week, here are even more upcoming new releases to look forward to! After all, I felt bad leaving some of my top choices off the list last week…

Here we go — EVEN MORE new releases for the first half of 2026:

Listed in order of release date:

1. Anne of a Different Island by Virginia Kantra (1/20/2026)
