This week’s prompt: Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the Second Half of 2025

Hello everyone! Wow, here we are already, looking at the second half of the year. I had to go look books up to get up to ten; the first few are books I have been anxiously awaiting, the others are books I read about on NetGalley that I am definitely putting on my TBR.

The Lady on Esplanade: I love this series by Karen White and I have been waiting and waiting for the next book to come out. It felt like a super long wait! It is the third in the Royal Street series, which is all about fixing up historical old houses – and some that have ghosts…. (Nov. 4)

The Enchanted Greenhouse: I LOVED The Spellshop so I am super excited about The Enchanted Greenhouse! (July 15)

We Love You, Bunny: This is a sequel to the 2019 book Bunny by Awad. That book was a crazy fever dream of a book, and I am super excited to read this one. (Sept. 23)

Legendary Frybread Drive-In: This is another one I had on my list. I really enjoyed Ancestor Approved, which is another compilation of stories by Indigenous authors. (Aug. 26)

A Ghost Hunter’s Guide to Solving a Murder: This is one I found on NetGalley that is immediately going on my TBR! A cozy mystery with ghosts! That has my name written all over it. (Oct. 2)

The French Bookshop Murder: Another cozy on my radar! (Sept. 18)

A Land So Wide: I love Erin Craig’s worlds! This one sounds like it will be fantastic. (Sept. 9)

The Keeper of Magical Things: I love love loved The Teller of Small Fortunes and I am excited to read this new book by Leong. (Oct. 14)

The Whistler: I read a Medina last fall, Sisters of the Lost Nation, and I loved it. I am looking forward to this new book! (Sep. 16)

Brigands and Breadknives: Because, Baldree. Buy all the Baldree is my mantra. (ok it’s not but you get the idea, I really like his work) (Nov. 11)

And I can’t wait to see what you all are looking forward to!

I hope that whatever you do today, that you do one thing that makes you smile!

  3. This looks like a great list of books, I really want to try some of the cosy fantasy ones in particular along with A Land So Wide. What other books have you read by Erin Craig? It’s so exciting hearing that you loved The Spell Shop & Teller Of Small Fortunes too as both are on my Kindle. The first I’m actually hoping to get to this week 🤞 I hope you enjoy all of these.

    1. I love cozy fantasy. I love the low stakes, and usually very, well, cozy, bits. Lol. Jam making or breadmaking or coffee shop, just really gentle type stuff.

      I love Small Favors by Erin Craig. That has been my favorite so far of hers. I also really love House of Salt and Sorrows.

      I hope you enjoy them as much as I did! 🙂

      1. Those all sound great. I love the community feel that they can have too. At least based on Emily Wildes first book 😅

        I loved Small Favors too 😍 it’s kind of why I want to read Needful Things as they both have the whole ‘be careful what you wish for’ thing going on 😂 and I enjoyed Salt & Sorrows but fell for the sequel more, the gothic vibes were totally unexpected but appreciated by me 😂

        Thank you 🥰🥰

      3. Ooh I didn’t know you’d read any Stephen King before. Glad you enjoyed it. I definitely recommend it. I was honestly caught off guard by how much I enjoyed it. I hope you love it too whenever you read it.
