#TopTenTuesday Most Anticipated Books Releasing Later This Year #TuesdayBookBlog

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.

The rules are simple:

• Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want.
• Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post.
• Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other bloggers’ lists.
• Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the Second Half of 2026. There are some absolute crackers publishing between now and the end of the year by some of my favourite authors, including ‘the battle of the Sebastians’. In fact, I could have easily added ten more.

All but one on my list (the Robert Harris, but that’s on preorder) are ARCs via NetGalley, so my thanks to the respective publishers. Some are also on my list for the 20 Books of Summer reading challenge. Regular followers of my blog won’t be surprised to see it’s a list heavy on historical fiction.

Links from each title will take you to the book description on Goodreads.

2. Little Spark by Jess Kidd (Canongate, 13th August)
