I first came across this meme on the Bookforager‘s blog and it seemed like fun so I decided to give it a try in 2026.  The meme is hosted by Jana at Reviews from the Stacks and the theme this month is ‘new’.  I’ve used my own interpretation of new and chosen future releases for 2026.  I confess that this was much harder than I expected!  I struggled with the J and the Y but here’s what I’ve come up with:

J

The Jellyfish Problem by Tessa Yang

A

A Forest Darkly by AG Slatter

N

Nightshade and Oak by Molly O’Neill

U

The Unicorn Hunters by Katherine Arden

A

Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter by Heather Fawcett

R

Rites of the Starling by Devney Perry

Y

Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke
