There are certainly some pretty covers in this stack, but that’s not the important bit this time around. Instead, this is a stack of books that I’m just plain looking forward to reading, to the point where a whole bunch of these are going straight into my “Most Anticipated” post for 2026.
There are lots of books that are next in series in series that I just can’t wait to read. Including, but very definitely not limited to, The Cyclist, Fire Must Burn, Inside Man, A Lion’s Ransom, The Shop on Hidden Lane, Testimony of Mute Things AND Through Gates of Garnet and Gold. OMG that’s a LOT! I just heard the virtually towering TBR pile let out an audible, if virtual, groan at the very thought!
What about you? Is your stack groaning as it looks towards 2026?

What an exciting time of the year for you! For me it’s the anticipation of the months of May and June when my favourite authors tend to publish. Happy reading!
Spring and fall are just so much fun in the book world, aren’t they? Happy Reading!

Exciting looking books. I have so many books that I need to read 😂 I would like to make a better dent in my TBR pile next year (as I say every year!)
Have a great weekend!
I say that every year too. But the pile just keeps getting bigger! Some New Year’s resolutions are just made to broken, aren’t they?

Great list of books. The Jayne Ann Krentz book is one I’m debating. It looks great and I haven’t read one of hers in awhile. Hope you enjoy your books and have a great week!
I hope you give the Krentz book a try. I LOVE the Jayneverse. They’re just such comfort reads for me, although they’re generally not cozy at all. Just fun!

So many great books.
Remember that day looks cute. I hope you enjoy all of these. Have a great weekend!
I also added The Cyclist and The Guest in Room 120 to my TBR shelf. I hope you enjoy all of these, Marlene.
These sound like some great suggestions! I am in a bit of a reading slump – I will check a few of these out to see if that gets me back into the fold!
