upcoming new releases 2024 | Bookshelf Fantasies

It’s another fun topic for Top 5 Tuesday! This weekly meme is hosted by Meeghan Reads — check out the next batch of upcoming topics here.

This week’s topic is Top 5 anticipated 5 star reads, and the prompt is: What books on your TBR do you think might make your top 5 books of the year, or will get that coveted five-star rating?

I have high hopes for so many of my upcoming reads! Sticking to books to read (or being released) in 2024, my top five are:

Somewhere Beyond the Sea by TJ Klune
So Thirsty by Rachel Harrison
The Life Impossible by Matt Haig
The Wood at Midwinter by Susanna Clarke
I’ll Be Waiting by Kelley Armstrong

What are your 5-star predictions for the rest of 2024?

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.

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:
