Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme where every Tuesday we look at a particular topic for discussion and use various (or more to the point ten) bookish examples to demonstrate that particular topic.  Top Ten Tuesday (created and hosted by  The Broke and Bookish) is now being hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and future week’s topics can be found here.  This week’s prompt is:

Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the First Half of 2026

This week is so easy.  I have so many books that I’m looking forward to that the only problem now is reining myself in.  I may have already demonstrated my excitement for some of these books but a little more can’t hurt can it and I cannot tell a lie – this is a banging list!
