I'm SUPER excited for Heartstopper volume 5! It's releasing in November 2023, so that's a long wait. But I just know it's gonna be worth it! Volume 5 was supposed to be the last of the Heartstopper books but the author, Alice Oseman, announced a few days ago that they will be writing a Volume 6, and this will bring the graphic novel series to a close

The release date for the new Hunger Games book is rapidly approaching, and I'm SO excited for it!! It's going to be so interesting to see more of Haymitch's experiences from his POV.

I am also excited for the new Hunger Games novel; Haymitch is one of my favourite characters from the books, so I am looking forward to learning more about him and the world of Panem from his perspective.

I pre-ordered Sunrise on the Reaping back in February and cannot wait for it to arrive!

I would have said Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry, but that just recently came out. I really want to read it, but I kind of want to wait until it's out on paperback as I have a couple of other Emily Henry books on paperback.

Another book I'm excited about that's coming out in June is Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Granted I haven't read her latest couple of releases, I still get excited about any Taylor Jenkins Reid books!

I'm a fan of Brandon Sanderson, so I'm always looking forward to what he's releasing each year. The Fires of December is coming out next year, and it seems to be in a similar vein as Tress of the Emerald Sea and Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, which are two of my favorites, so I'm hopeful this one will be just as good

I also found out about Agnes Aubert's Mystical Cat Shelter by Heather Fawcett, which is coming out next year too. I enjoyed the first book of the Emily Wilde series that's also by her, and though I haven't read the rest of the series yet, I'm planning to. This new one sounds so fun though, and how can I resist a book about cats? So I'm looking forward to picking it up at some point.

With 2026 around the corner, these are some of my anticipated book releases:

The Astral Library by Kate Quinn
Book of Forbidden Words by Louise Fein
Strangers in the Villa by Robyn Harding
Somewhere Soft to Land by kai alonté
The Caretaker by Marcus Kliewer
Caller Unknown by Gillian McAllister
The Midnight Train by Matt Haig
Land by Maggi O'Farrell
Nine Lives by Catherine Steadman
The Night Hunter by Natalie Moss
The Whitechapel Full Moon Society by Elizabeth DeLozier
The Seeker of Lost Paintings by Sarah Freethy
Unrivaled by Rachel Reid

HEARTSTOPPER 6!!!

I'm super eager to see what's in store for Nick, Charlie and their friends in the final installment of Alice Oseman's graphic novel series, which is releasing in early July 2026. I pre-ordered the novel the day it was announced Another reason for me being an eager beaver is that once I have this novel, I will own the entire collection of Alice's published works. This is something I'm proud of because of what the series and spin off books mean to me {it was one of her characters that inspired me to create Dhruv, my DADA professor}. Not to mention, the main novels spawned the Netflix series which happens to be my comfort show

A few 2026 releases that I'm excited about:

August 2026 - Anger Is Only a Shadow by Elizabeth Acevedo
September 22, 2026 - Empire by Sabaa Tahir
(I read Heir, the first book in the duology, last month and it was AMAZING.)
September 26, 2026 - The Siren by Tomi Adeyemi
October 10, 2026 - Victorious by V.E. Schwab
