Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the First Half of 2026

We have survived the 1st week of the New Year, although it feels like it was hanging on to dear life, not going to lie. Personal health things really knock it out of you. I'm so thankful I worked a head on some content for the blog. 

But we are moving forward. With that, we are looking forward to what is to come, and what that means is, brand new books coming out the 1st half of this year.

From January to June, here are some books on my radar that I'm looking forward to. 



The Astral Library by Kate Quinn
Marrying the Matchmaker by Jody Hedlund
The Bookshop of 99 Doors by Jaime Jo Wright


Rites of the Starling by Devney Perry


The Star Blessed by Angie Dickinson
All that Glows by Lauren Smyth
Daughter of Rebellion by Jamie Ogle


To Dance with a Duke by Gabrielle Meyer
Love & Baseball by Jaime Jo Wright w/ Chloe JoAnne
The Belle of Chatham by Laura Frantz


What are you looking forward to this first half of the year?
