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. 🙂

    I’m interested in looking for the American Roommate Experiment. Thanks for your list!

    I took off on my own this week and shared a list of the best three titles to take along on a trip to Paris.

    The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches and Daisy Darker were two titles I could not resist, and couldn’t be more opposite 😀 I’ve already added them both to my Audible Wish list!

    I’m so excited for a new TJR book! And I’m always up for a Bromance book and the fact that it’s a holiday book makes it even more fun!

      I’m really excited for the Bromance book. In my head I see those guys being even more hilarious around the holidays, haha.

    Looks like a great list. I am not ready for Christmas books yet, I don’t even feel like I have had a summer yet (mainly because I have not been in any water yet!). Enjoy these when you get a chance to read them.

      Suzanne says:

      I wouldn’t normally be ready for Christmas books this early, but that Bromance series is a favorite of mine. 🙂

    I want to read The Secret Society of Irregular Witches. I’d like to think I’d be an irregular witch myself.

    “a family reunion that leads to murder” Yup, need that one. 🙂 Daisy Darker sounds great. And so does the new Lisa Jewell. I’m a little behind on her last few releases…

    • Suzanne
      Suzanne says:

      I’m very excited for the new Lisa Jewell. I had no idea she was doing a sequel for The Family Upstairs so I can’t wait to see where she goes with it.

    I am lucky to have the Hazelwood, Stone, and Adams books. Very excited about them, AND I was able to put pre-release holds for the TJR and Mandanna books. Denise Williams is a must though I don’t have the book or access at this point.

    • Suzanne
      Suzanne says:

      I hope you’re able to get access to Denise Williams’ book soon. That’s definitely one that I’m most excited about. I just love her characters so much.

    • Suzanne
      Suzanne says:

      I’ve only read Rock Paper Scissors from her but I loved that one so I definitely want to read more of her books.

    Carla says:

    What a great list, Suzanne. I have several of these books on my shelf and hope we both enjoy them. I didn’t know there was a new Bromance BookClub coming out, so thanks very much for the heads up. Enjoy all your upcoming books.
