Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Artsy-Reader Girl
Today’s prompt is all about our most anticipated books of the first half of 2026. But, I am not good at keeping track of these things! So I am going to list the few I know about, then build my list as I visit all of your blogs!


Ok. That is what I’ve got! I am very very excited however to learn about what books are coming out in the first half of the year when I visit your blogs. Then I can make a most wanted list of my own!
Both of these are very high on my anticipation radar 😀
Here are some others that I’m very intrigued by:
How to Lose a Goblin in 10 Days (Jessie Sylva)
Everyone in this Bank is a Thief (Benjamin Stevenson)
The Hope Keeper (Heather Webb)
The Someday Garden (Ashley Poston)
Star Wars: Eyes Like Stars (Ashley Poston)
Change of Plans (Sarah Dessen)
Oo the Goblin book sounds right up my alley!!! I will have to look that one up!
I thought it sounded like a very Erin book 🙂
My list was short this week as well. That Agnes book looks spectacular, though.
I know right? I am really looking forward to that one.
I want to read both of these too.
Thanks for sharing your #TTT
I am very excited about them!
Both of these covers look so great!

I will be popping over shortly!
I’ve seen the Mystical Cats book on so many lists. I guess I need to read what it is all about.
It seems very unique – I am looking forward to it.
I never seem to know what books are coming out until they actually do (unless I’m reviewing them for Netgalley).
Me either. Lol. I tried looking some up then I decided that wouldn’t work because then they wouldn’t actually be my most anticipated, if that makes sense. Lol.
These both look great. I’m on the lookout for books, too.
I am going to start making the rounds shortly!
I am very excited for the new Fawcett book!! I hope you enjoy both of these and find many more today. 🙂
That one looks so fun!
Agnes Aubert has been a very popular choice this week! I hope you enjoy reading both of these, and many others, when you get the chance.

It just seems unique and new, and it has cats!
I added the Heather Fawcett book to my wish list. The Faraway Inn looks good too. I hope you enjoy your books when you get to them.
Thanks Yvonne!!
The Sarah Beth Durst books always have such GREAT covers
Right?? They always make me want to read them!
I’m looking forward to Heather Fawcett’s book too. I hope you enjoy it!
It seems like it will be so cute!
Lol! I almost added The Faraway Inn on my list too! Hazehttps://thebookhaze.com/
Lol!! It looks like a good one!
Both of these sound great, Erin. Such lovely covers, too. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Cheryl!
I’m excited for both of these too! They’re on my fantasy releases list. I’m especially excited for Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter 😊.
If you’d like to visit, here’s my TTT: https://thebooklorefairyreads.wordpress.com/2026/01/12/top-ten-tuesday-the-most-anticipated-books-releasing-in-the-first-half-of-2026/
I will have to make sure I check out your fantasy releases list!
I’ve added a link to it in this week’s TTT in the second paragraph I believe ☺️
Thank you!
I’m excited for both of these too! I love Sarah Beth Durst and The Far Away Inn sounds lovely😁
I really am super excited about them both!
I don’t have a clue what’s coming out this year — I have too many on my pile already!
I know! I am in the same boat!
I can’t begin to think about books coming out when I can’t even keep up with those that have been out!! Those covers are so cool, though!

I know! I am always trying to see what I missed out on too!
Ooh, is The Faraway Inn a new series or standalone by Durst? It looks so pretty 😍 I’m also really looking forward to Agnes Aubert! I hope you enjoy both of these and whichever other books you add to your TBR from this TTT.
That is a good question! It sounds so cozy! And it is so pretty!
I hope you enjoy these!
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

Me too!!
