We’re back with another Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week’s topic is: Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the First Half of 2026
The anticipated 2026 releases topic was actually one of the final Let’s Talk Bookish topics of 2025, so I’ve already done this post and you can see it here. Those listed in that post are my top-top anticipated releases but I’ve discovered a few others recently that I’m also looking forward to this year. Not sure if I’ll hit 10 although who am I kidding? I love adding books to my TBR radar, lol. 😂 These books are listed in order of publication month, spanning from January to June.
The Seven Daughters of Dupree by Nikesha Elise Williams
The Re-Do List by Denise Williams
Keeper of Lost Children by Sadeqa Johnson
The Secret Lives of Murderers Wives by Elizabeth Arnott
The Starter Ex by Mia Sosa
The Paris Match by Kate Clayborn
London Falling by Patrick Radden Keefe
How to Fake it in Society by KJ Charles
Honey by Imani Thompson
The Open Era by Edward Schmit
Do you have any of these books on your radar? What books are you looking forward to in 2026? It’s inevitable friends—it’s time to grow the TBR again! 🤭

The Seven Daughters of Dupree is on my TBR as well, although I didn’t blog about it today. 🙂

Thanks for sharing your #TTT

London Falling! I bet it is good since Patrick Radden Keefe is such a good writer. I’ll keep my eye out for it.

I feel like Murderers’ Wives is going to be one of those books everyone is reading and so I get FOMO even thought it isn’t really my thing!

I’m looking forward to reading Keeper of Lost Children. I’ve had a copy since September, but I’ve been too busy reading other things to get to it yet.
