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 10 Most Anticipated Books Releasing the Second Half of 2025

*in no particular order

10. THE HAUNTING OF PAYNES HOLLOW by Kelley Armstrong--this sounds so good! It's Kelley Armstrong, so I pretty much added it to my list right after reading the title! 
9. WE WON'T ALL SURVIVE by Kate Alice Marshall--still behind on some of her books but I always love her YA thrillers!
8. DREAM BY THE SHADOWS by Logan Karlie--read the first 6 words of the blurb and immediately added it to my TBR without reading further! Trying to figure out if I can make a signing of hers, but it requires roadtrips and possible vacation days, so still trying to work it out! Of course with this being a duology I probably won't get to read it until closer to the second book's release. Sigh...

7. THEY FEAR NOT MEN IN THE WOODS by Gretchen McNeil--SUPER excited for her adult debut and it's horror/thriller!
6. BITTEN by Jordan Stephanie Gray--I pretty much added this to my list from the get-go! SUPER EXCITED for this one because LOOK AT THAT COVER!
5. HOLLY by Adalyn Grace--also really excited for this one! It's just under 400 pages so this is a beefy novella! I know there's illustrations too, but 384 (ish) pages according to Goodreads! I think Stephanie's just hit 200 and that was with illustrations too, so this is a biggie! 

4. ASYLUM HOTEL by Juliet Blackwell--super excited that she has a new release! And it's sounds more thrillery than her previous cozies...which I still need to finish but still love!
3. WHAT FURY BRINGS by Tricia Levenseller--SUPER excited for her adult debut as well! I've loved all her YA ones so this one really has me excited!
2. THE DEAD HUSBAND COOKBOOK by Danielle Valentine--I still need to read her adult debut from a year or two ago but I pretty much love all her horror reads so it was a no brainer adding it to my list!

1. A LAND SO WIDE by Erin A. Craig--it's a YEAR for adult debuts I tell ya! Really excited for this one too!

Wait, I know what you're thinking...that was my #1? But if you maybe recall, I did read an ARC of my MOST ANTICIPATED 2025 release that comes out in October already...BUT I am SUPER EXCITED for ALL the PRETTY EDITIONS I've preordered...SO FAR of:

Alchemy of Secrets by Stephanie Garber
