Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly themed post first created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010 and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week’s theme is Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the Second Half of 2025. There’s definitely going to be some overlap with my TBR post from last week, but I tried to mostly feature Q4 books that I haven’t gotten ARCs of (yet).

This is a great list. Thanks for linking them (I should go do that to mine now). Ohhh, The Strength of the Few has such a different cover vibe than the first book! I added a few from your list 🙂 I hope you enjoy all of these.

Can’t wait to read The Everlasting! I’m a bit on the fence about reading What Stalks the Deep — didn’t love the previous book, but the first one was great… so I may give in and read it anyway! Hope you enjoy all of these!

I also wasn’t crazy about the second book, but they’re such short reads I may as well continue! Besides, T. Kingfisher is usually wonderful 🤷♀️

I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of The Everlasting, Harrow is a favourite author of mine and I will pick up anything she writes. Great list 🙂

I have to read Starling House soon and I’m hoping Tor will grant my request for physical ARC of The Everlasting! Alix Harrow is going to be doing a talk at a local event this month and I’d love to get her to sign it!

Oooh I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you! I would love to see her talk, but alas I don’t think she really does event’s across the pond. Hope you have a great time.
