Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and The Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

This week's topic is: Top Ten Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the Second Half of 2026

*in no particular order

10. CURSEKEEPER by Alexandra Christo--still need to get caught up on some of her backlist titles, but loved her first few books I read, so eager for something new!
9. MONSTERA by Delilah S. Dawson--her horror novellas have been a highlight for my fall! Although I remember one being a little slow but it had a great ending, I am hoping this one will be great throughout!
8. RELIQUARY by Hannah F. Whitten--eager to see her take on horror after a round of fantasy!

7. PINFEATHERS by Christina Henry--always up for a Henry horror novel!
6. THE SIXTH FACTION by Veronica Roth--I LOVED the Divergent series, ending and all! So I am DEEPLY curious to see if Tris will still have the same fate even if she chose another faction! It's going to be SO interesting!
5. THE BONE SINGER by Abigail Owen--the cover drew me in, the author had me excited, and the first blurb line had me hooked!

4. DIVE BAR AT THE END OF THE ROAD by Kelley Armstrong--always behind with her books, always excited to add more of them to my TBR!
3. THE POISON DAUGHTER by Sheila Masterson--yes, I could read the ebook now, but this cover and edges are just SO pretty!
2. THE WOLF QUEEN'S CURSE by Kaylee Archer--super excited to continue this series!

And we all know what #1 is right? Say it with me...

1. THE MIRROR OF INFINITE ENDINGS by Stephanie Garber--naturally!
