I may say this every year, but the first half of the year has flown by. I honestly cannot believe it’s already June. Life has been a bit crazy back on my end (hence the very very limited posting), and because of that I also haven’t read as much as I have in the past. However, that doesn’t mean I’m not excited to add even more books to my never ending TBR. I do hope that things settle a bit more so I can get back to more normal posting and reading, but we shall see how things go. Either way, I’ll be reading something and these are all at the top of my list!
Without further ado, here are my most anticipated reads for the second half of 2024! (Not all books are pictured since some still don’t have covers at time of writing, and all release dates are noted though they may change. Also, links to every Goodreads page is included so you can add them to your TBR too.) (Also! There are no St. Martin’s Press books included in this list due to the ongoing boycott. Check out Readers for Accountability for more information about the boycott.)
(Note: There are a bunch of books that I’m interested in that are coming out, but these are the books that I’m definitely grabbing as soon as they’re published.)
