Welcome to the Spring 2026 Seasons of Books Giveaway Hop, hosted by It Starts At Midnight and Versatileer!
Once upon a time, this was the Month of Books Giveaway Hop, now it’s the Seasons of Books Giveaway Hop, with the hops starting on the days the seasons change. Today, March 20, is the first official day of SPRING for the 2026 season. In other words, today is the Spring Equinox, the day when the light catches up to the dark and the day and night are equal or would be if that pesky ‘atmosphere’ that keeps us all alive didn’t play with the light just a bit. Nevertheless, the season literally starts getting brighter from here on out – at least in the northern hemisphere.
Spring has officially SPRUNG!
Winter briefly stepped in early this week here in the ATL, but on this first day of spring the temperatures are supposed to be in the mid-70s, which certainly sounds like spring to ME! Although I just had to look up some of the other places I’ve lived, and it’s expected to be 62 in Chicago, 73 in Cincinnati (OH), 56 and rainy in Seattle and a still freezing 25 in Anchorage. I’d rather be here.
I’ve kind of given up on wondering if my reading tastes don’t match anyone else’s – because they clearly don’t match those of whoever created the hop graphic. This is yet another season where not a one of the books featured in the hop graphic are on my personal TBR pile for the season. But I still have plenty to choose from. Here are a baker’s dozen that have risen to the top of my list for this spring of 2026:
A Deadly Episode by Anthony Horowitz
The First Mage on the Moon by Cameron Johnston
I Choose the Bear by Shiloh Walker
In the Spirit of French Murder by Colleen Cambridge
The Last Contract of Isako by Fonda Lee
Like Wafers in Honey by Leah Eskin
A Long and Speaking Silence by Nghi Vo
Seasons of Glass and Iron by Amal El-Mohtar
Stay for a Spell by Amy Coombe
This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews
