This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is about the new book releases coming up in the latter half of 2024! I always feel like I have no idea, and then discover fascinating books upcoming, so let’s dive in a bit…
- The Spellshop, by Sarah Beth Durst. This one sounds so cosy, I’m keen to dig in. And will get to do so soon: out 9th July!
- Summer’s End, by Juneau Black. No surprises that this one’s top-of-mind: it’s coming 10th July, if memory serves, and I’m very ready to return to Shady Hollow and spend some time with Vera Vixen.
- Tour de Force, by Christianna Brand. This one’s a funny inclusion in that I don’t want it so much for itself, but because it’s the British Library Crime Classic for July, and I’d want it no matter what. But I’m just in the perfect mood for mysteries right now, so this month finds me a little impatient!
- The Duke at Hazard, by KJ Charles. This one sounds like a romp, and I’m definitely in need of that. Due on 18th July, and you better believe I have it preordered.
- A Sorceress Comes to Call, by T. Kingfisher. I love Kingfisher’s fairytale retellings, and her style in general, so I’m looking forward to this one. Due out in August, so maybe it’ll be a birthday present to myself.
- Haunt Sweet Home, by Sarah Pinsker. I’ve been meaning to read Sarah’s work forever, but still haven’t got round to it. I’m determined to change that before September, which is when Haunt Sweet Home comes out — I have an eARC.
- The City in Glass, by Nghi Vo. I actually know very little about this beyond the title: it’s an insta-buy because it’s Nghi Vo. I haven’t always loved her work (I wasn’t a huge fan of The Chosen and the Beautiful), but she’s written some things I really love. Due out in October!
- Swordcrossed, by Freya Marske. The cover and description sound so fun — and a bit of a Swordspoint vibe. Plus a comparison to Legends & Lattes, which I loved. Due out in October, though I should read it sooner as I have an eARC!
- The Bloodless Princes, by Charlotte Bond. Very curious where this goes, after the first novella surprised me. Due out in October.
- Heavenly Tyrant, by Xiran Jay Zhao. We’ve been waiting for this so long! I’m definitely going to have to read the first book again to remember all the details. Coming out in December, at last.
I know, I know, no non-fiction — I usually find that by browsing in shops, so I don’t always know what’s coming down the pipeline. Let me know if there’s anything cool that I’ve missed…
I’m eager to hear what books other people are looking forward to, as well! I definitely need recommendations and absolutely don’t have a massive TBR pile already. Mmmhmm.
The Duke at Hazard sounds like so much fun! I’ll be taking a closer look at that one. 🙂
KJ Charles’ books are usually a lot of fun!
The Spellshop looks interesting.
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
I’m quite keen to give it a shot!
I never think to put nonfiction on my list either. I hope you enjoy these when you get a chance to read them.
I would’ve if there were any on the horizon I knew about! But though I have good discovery mechanisms for a lot of the genres I read, less so for non-fiction.
Haunt Sweet Home sounds fun! I hope you love all on your list!
I really need to get to it, I’ve been meaning to try Sarah P’s work for so long, hahaha.
I’m very excited to read The Spellshop and Haunt Sweet Home. There are so many good sounding books coming out this year

There’s always something exciting if I dig around, but some of these are really strong contenders for being perfectly up my alley. 😀
I’m currently reading Spellshop! I hope you get to all of these and enjoy them!
I’m really looking forward to it! Still haven’t made a start, sdkgnjsfdhng XD
I loved The Spellshop, which I read as an ARC (and will totally read again.) Swordcrossed also made my list. I’m a little hesitant about T. Kingfisher, but I’ll read her one of these days. And the first Charlotte Bond book is in my TBR somewhere; I need to read it before The Bloodless Princes. I’ll definitely be checking out a few of these other titles!

Oh, interesting, is there any reason you’re cautious about Kingfisher’s work?
