Hello, and welcome back to another edition of Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
The second half of the year is almost here…oh my! Seems to me like all the books I’m most anticipating seem to come out from July-December, which is fine; gives me time to save up funds and add these beautiful books to my shelves. My wallet already hates me and I haven’t even pre-ordered any of these yet. That’s happening tomorrow when the new month starts. Here are the titles I will definitely purchase. Enjoy!

Ugh, so many good books on this list! I either need more time or more money or more of both. Preferably that last one, now that I think about it.
Paola Santiago is probably one of my most anticipated books, only because I’ve been waiting so long for it, since it was announced forever ago. So many of these are on my upcoming TBR that I don’t even know where to start. xD Cemetery Boys, Year of the Witching, Raybearer. Yes, yes, yes. Just so much yes on your list!
I’m trying to figure out where to start too. It’s so bad. 😂
So many great-sounding books on this list! I think my most anticipated is The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue! I hope you enjoy these books when they come out!
Thanks, Jessica!
Exciting list!
Thank you!
I forgot to put The Once and Future Witches on my list but that’s one I’m definitely excited for.
Yay!

My wallet is definitely going to be feeling it this month (commenting after midnight, happy July!). I can’t wait for Burn Our Bodies Down and Where Dreams Descend, plus so many others!
😂 My wallet’s mad at me right now.

Great list! The Once and Future Witches and The Year of the Witching made my list this week, too. I’m really excited for Cemetery Boys and the cover of You Had Me at Hola is stunning!
Thanks, Jess!
I am curious of Legend Born. Urban fantasy is normally a safe genre for me.

I’m excited about THE YEAR OF WITCHING and BURN OUR BODIES DOWN. Luckily, I got e-ARCs of both of them from NetGalley or Edelweiss. I have read WHERE DREAMS DESCEND, which I didn’t love, unfortunately. It’s really long and there’s just not enough story to justify all those pages. I hope you enjoy it, though, as well as all of your other picks.
Happy TTT!

Aw, bummer about Where Dreams Descend. But I hope you like The Year of Witching and Burn Our Bodies Down.
I was lucky and got an ARC of Crazy Stupid Bromance. You’re going to love it!
You just made my day! 😀
The Voting Booth is on my TBR as well. I like Colbert’s books. And I am very excited to get back into the Bromance world.
Brandy Colbert is very underrated. I think The Voting Booth will get her the buzz she deserves. And yes to many more Bromance books.

I really want to read The Voting Booth, too.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
I’m hoping to preorder The Voting Booth in a few days.
The cover for You Had Me at Hola is so gorgeous! I’m so tempted, but I’m trying hard to be good. Ha! I’m sure I’ll cave eventually. Great list!
I was doing great not buying so many books but now I’m telling myself, “but you’re helping local bookstores out so you HAVE TO buy this book!” Send help! 😂

I definitely plan to get Addie LaRue and I’m super curious about Legendborn. It sounds awesome.

Thanks, Emily!
Where Dreams Descend and Addie were both on my list this week too!
Alright! 😀

Quite a few of these also made my list but I wanted to include a lot of them but did my best to stick to 10 🤣 It was so hard! There are so many amazing sounding releases… Whyy?! Haha I hope you enjoy these books, Leah 😀
I understand: If I had let myself go this list would have been like 30+ plus books. 🤣 Thanks, Dini!

Where Dreams Descend does sound interesting!
My TTT .
It’s inspired by Phantom of the Opera and other musicals. I can’t wait.
Lots of interesting choices here!
Thanks!

You Had Me at Hola is a popular choice. I’ve seen it on more than one blog. I might have to pick up the new one by Holly Black, too.
Thanks for sharing.
I’m so excited for You Had Me at Hola—telenovelas were popular in my house. 😀
Oooo that V E Schwab looks wonderful doesm’t it – and a great title! Hurriedly adding to my TBR as I read these lists! Thanks for sharing and Happy TTT!

I’m pretty much looking forward to each an everyone of these too. Great list!
Thanks, Lauren!
Also I tried commenting on your list but it wouldn’t go through, but I wanted to say that as a fan of speculative fiction, I’m embarrassed to say I haven’t read an Octavia E. Butler book before. I’m hoping to fix that before the year ends.
It does! I’m seriously considering getting one of the UK editions (Forbidden Planet) because the design is just breathtaking.
The Rory Power one should have gone on my list, dang it. lol I really liked Wilder Girls.
LOL! It’s okay, Greg.
