I thought there were a lot of books that came out in May, but June is even more insane! So many I’m excited for that I’m actually suffering from decision paralysis trying to decide what to read first and haven’t read any of them yet, even among the ones for which I have early copies. And I already have library holds on the rest! My most anticipated list is long this month, but I have at least as many I didn’t include. Send help! 😂
Here they are by US pub date:
There are an absolutely ridiculous amount of books coming out in May - I guess to kick off summer reading season? I’ve already read some of my most anticipated that I was lucky enough to get an early copy of, but there are so many more to go! Here are the ones I’m most excited about - if I’ve already read them, my rating is indicated next to them along with my review. And in addition to the books listed below, there are at least a dozen more I’m looking forward to reading as well!
Here they are by US pub date:
I’m way behind on reading all the books that came out in March that I wanted to get to, but we’re nearing the end of the month which means I’m also looking ahead to the books coming out in April that I’m most excited for. April is an absolutely ridiculously stacked month - when I made my list of my most anticipated books of 2023 in December, 8 of the 26 books I included were April books! I already read advanced copies of three of these; you’ll see my ratings and reviews for them below. Others I either wasn’t lucky enough to get an ARC, or have them but haven’t gotten to them yet. If there's no star rating next to it, that means I haven't read it yet and am basing my description on the book's synopsis.
Here they are by US publication date:
It’s the end of the month so time to look ahead to my most anticipated books publishing in March. And I have so many advanced copies for March (way more than the ones listed below) that I’ve actually gotten a head start and read a few of these! You can see my ratings and excerpts from my review for those three below; for the others I'll just provide a brief description from the publisher's blurb. Some of these are by authors I’ve read and loved; some I’ve seen major bookstagram hype; others just sound intriguing to me.
The approaching end of the month means it’s time for me to look ahead to my most anticipated books publishing in February of 2023. I’m kind of relieved it’s a short list, I have so many ARCs for March and the following few months so maybe I can get ahead a bit. I have early copies of a few of these but haven’t gotten to them yet. Others I’ll have to wait for the publication date to get from the library.
A few weeks ago, I brought you my most anticipated books of 2023, and now I’m back to my monthly anticipated book posts where I can tell you about even more books I’m excited for. So today I’m sharing my most anticipated books of January 2023. And even this isn't the full list of books coming out in January that I'm likely to read at some point, just the ones I'm most looking forward to reading. Although I have early copies of some of them, I haven’t started reading 2023 books yet, so I have my work cut out for me - but in an exciting way!
Here they are by US pub date - note that some of these are out already in the UK and/or Australia:
Somehow it's almost the end of the year, which means it's time for me to reveal my most anticipated books of 2023! I’ve always enjoyed looking to see what books are going to be published in the near future. Indeed, for me, tracking upcoming books is kind of its own hobby, separate from reading.
For the last few years, in addition to my anticipated books of the year posts, I’ve been doing monthly anticipated book posts which allow me to feature even more books. But putting together my most anticipated books of the year in addition to my anticipated books each month is still something I will always keep doing. This list is limited to just the TOP books I’m most super-excited about - the ones I will be making it a priority to read. It was so hard to narrow it down that these are all books by authors who I’ve already read and loved, though there are definitely some great sounding debuts coming next year too! To narrow it down, I also only included a book if it had a set release date and a cover.
My longer list has at least three times as many books as I am discussing here, but for this post, I limited myself to 25 books. Well, I tried to limit it to 25, but I ended up with 26 anyway. 😂 But anyway, keep an eye out for my monthly posts about anticipated books to see even more books I’m looking forward to, whether they’re ones that just don’t fit here, or ones I hear about later. And if you are looking for even more bookish content from me, check out my instagram account where I post book-related stuff almost every single day from reviews to anticipated books to other book features.
Now without further ado, here are the 2023 releases that I’m most looking forward to, so you can go ahead and request from Netgalley/get on the library waitlist/pre-order them if you so desire! I am lucky enough to have ARCs of a few of these, but I decided not to read any of my 2023 advanced copies of books until 2023, so I haven’t read any yet! So all my descriptions are just based on their publisher blurbs or what I’ve heard from early reviewers.
So, here they are, listed in order of their current US publication date, which is listed in parentheses after the title and author of each book:
The end of the month really snuck up on me! So, it's time to look ahead to the books publishing in December that I’m most excited for. I’m happy it’s a short list so I can also use December to catch up on books I missed this year and backlist books I meant to get to. And stay tuned for my list of my most anticipated books of 2023, coming soon!
I haven’t read any of these yet, but looking forward to checking them out.
As the end of the month approaches, it's time to look ahead to the books publishing in November that I’m most excited for. So if you too like to look ahead with me, it’s time to get your library holds and pre-orders ready! I haven’t read any of these yet, but I'm looking forward to checking them out.
The end of the month is almost upon us, so it’s time to reveal my most anticipated books publishing in October 2022. I’m sure you will immediately notice that this is the shortest list I’ve ever put together. 😂 Well, there are plenty of other books coming out in October, but what can I say, none of them have grabbed me enough to make it onto my list. I’m kind of relieved to have a shorter list though, my backlog is already so long!
I haven’t read any of these yet despite the brevity of the list, but looking forward to checking them out.
August is almost over, so it’s time for my look at my most anticipated books of September! Get those library holds and pre-orders ready! I haven’t read any of these yet but am looking forward to checking them out.
Looking for yet more books to add to your TBR? Well it’s time to place those pre-orders and library holds, because here I am with my monthly look at the books I’m most looking forward to coming out in the next month - this time, August!
Sorry I’m so late with my anticipated reads for July - June has been such a busy month! But it’s not too late - there’s still time to make your library holds and pre-orders for July! Here are my anticipated books of July, in order by US publication date:
Time to get those library holds and pre-orders in as I’m here with a look at my most anticipated books of June 2022! I have a lot of these from Netgalley, but I’ve been so distracted by the exciting releases of May and book club books that I haven’t gotten to any of them yet! Hopefully I will read them soon.
Absolutely ridiculous how many awesome sounding books are coming out in May 2022! I’ve already read a few and have ARCs of some of the others that I’ll try to get to soon; but for way too many of the books below I was denied by Netgalley and have to wait on the library. I'm also excited so many rom coms are coming out - I haven't done as much light reading lately, and it's just what I need to kick off summer reading season!
Excited to bring you my most anticipated books publishing in April 2022. So many good sounding books coming out next month, with a ridiculous amount of then all coming out on April 5th! I’ve already read a few and have ARCs of some of the others that I’ll try to get to soon; others I’ll be reading once they are published. Here they are, in order of publication date:
Bringing you my anticipated books for March early since I’m leaving for vacation tomorrow. I haven't read any of them yet, and indeed I don’t even have copies of some of the ones I’m most excited for because Netgalley rejected me. 😢. But hopefully I will be reading a lot of them next month!
Another month, another set of books publishing that I am excited to read! And the TBR list gets longer and longer... Here are the books coming out in February 2022 that I'm most excited for. Although I have advanced copies of some of them, I haven't read any of them yet - but hopefully will be reading a lot of them next month!
It’s almost the end of the year, crazy! I’ve already brought you my overall most anticipated books of 2022, but now I will return to my regularly scheduled programming of each month bringing you my most anticipated reads of the following month - so I can include even more books!
Usually my anticipated reads are a mix of books that I have ARCs of and those that I have to wait until publication, but this month I’m lucky enough that I have Netgalley ARCs of all of them. However, I made a decision to save all of my 2022 books until 2022 to try to catch up a little on my backlist, so I haven’t read any yet! The books are listed below in order of US publication date.
I have always been someone who enjoys looking at what books are coming out and planning what to read almost as much as I love reading, so for the past several years since I started this blog, I always like to bring you a list of my most anticipated books of the next year. (And I’m happy to report that I managed to read every single book on my Anticipated Books of 2021 list.)
This past year, I have taken a different approach and also brought you monthly posts about my most anticipated books of the following month. I will definitely continue doing that next year. But there are just so many books I’m super-excited about coming out in 2022 that I thought I’d still give you a preview of some of the top books I’m looking forward to. It was so hard to narrow it down that these are all books by authors who I’ve already read and loved, though there are definitely some great sounding debuts coming next year too! To narrow it down, I also only included a book if it had a set release date and a cover, which eliminated some potential books allegedly coming towards the end of the year. There are literally dozens of more books I’m already looking forward to besides those listed here, just another reason I’ll also continue my monthly posts about anticipated books.
But in the meantime, here are the 2022 releases that I’m most looking forward to, so you can go ahead and request from Netgalley/get on the library waitlist/pre-order them if they interest you too! I am lucky enough to have ARCs of a few of these, but since I decided to hold all my 2022 advanced copies of books until 2022 to get through some of my backlog, I haven’t read any yet!
Here they are, listed in order of currently scheduled US publication date, which is listed in parentheses after the title and author of each book.
