Top Ten Tuesday – My Most Anticipated Books Releasing the in the Second Half of 2022

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 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.  Top Ten Tuesday has been one of my favorite memes ever since I started blogging, so huge thanks to Jana for taking over the hosting duties!

This week’s TTT topic is Most Anticipated Releases of the Second Half of 2022.  This is always an easy topic just because, of course, there are always so many books that I’m excited to get my hands on.  I have ARCs for a few but will be waiting to read most of them when they’re actually out in the world.  I fully expect several of these to make my best of 2022 list. 🙂
