Do you get as excited about new book releases as I do? I’m unsure whether it’s the smell of the pages as you fan through a just-off-the-press hardcover or the potential thrill of the story itself.
No matter how tall my current TBR pile is, there’s just something irresistible about brand-new book releases. How about you?
If you’re as excited about new releases as I am, you’ll love this list of upcoming book releases that have caught my attention. Because, if you’re like me, you’re operating under FOMO (fear of missing out) concerning books. And we have so much to look forward to here!
You see, I spend a lot of time searching around various bookish publications for the diamonds in the rough, and any other gems that can be found along the way, and then I add them to this list. Each month I update it, moving the already published books to our monthly features and adding new titles scheduled for publication later in the year.
I love the anticipation of the books that are coming soon 🙂
Our taste in book genres may not be identical, but that’s OK. I try and fill up my list with a variety of different genres and things that look interesting to me, and hopefully to you as well. The beauty of reading? There’s truly something for all of us 🙂
If you’re after books that have already hit the shelves this year, you can find them in one of my annual Top Book Releases for each year posts. Like the Top 2024 Book Releases, for example.
I mean, who wants to miss out on new books, right?
