Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is my Ten Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the First Half of 2024. I noticed that I tend towards the books whose authors I know and love, not any of the many books that are new to me authors. But I guess that’s only natural. I look forward to discovering new favorites as we progress through the new year.

Mystery/Thrillers:
💙 Lone Wolf by Gregg Hurwitz*
💙 Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice by Elle Cosimano*
💙 Murder Road by Simone St. James*
💙 One Perfect Couple by Ruth Ware
Romance/Women’s Fiction:
💙 Funny Story by Emily Henry*
💙 The Rom-Commers by Katherine Center
Fantasy:
💙 Bride by Ali Hazelwood*
💙 Heavenly Tyrant by Ziran Jay Zhao
💙 The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo
💙 A Fate Inked in Blood by Danielle Jensen
*these are books I have an ARC of

I have not even tried to look at releases right now lol! I have so much to catch up on already 😭
I usually don’t know but many of these I have the ARCs for and Goodreads helped me with the rest 🤭
I don’t do anticipated thing as I always end up reading books years later after release but I’m also interested in Hazelwood book and also Katherine Arden’s upcoming book.
They both look so good!
I’ve got the Rom-Commers on my list as well! 😀
I hope it’s as good as her last to or dare I say – better 🫢
Funny Story and The Familiar are on my list too. I want to read Bride and The Rom-commers looks fun!
Bride is addictive. I just finished it recently (ARC). We have some great ones in common!
Heavenly Tyrant and The Familiar are definitely on my list.
I definitely want to know what happens next in Heavenly Tyrant since book 1 left off in that crazy jaw-dropping way!
I have such a backlog of books from 2023 to read, I haven’t look much ahead, but I see Riley Sager has a new one coming out. I’m also looking forward to The Ark and The Dove by Jill Eileen Smith.
One Perfect Couple also looks like a good one!
Riley Sager had a good one that came out in 2023 too. Have you read that one yet?
Oh, wow! I’m such an idiot! I totally forgot that I purchased The Only One Left. It got buried on my Kindle and I’ve yet to read it. Thanks for the reminder. I’m going to have to bump it near the top of my list. I’ve yet to read one of his books and been disappointed.
Yes, YES to the new Simone St. James, I look forward to each of her new books she writes so well! And I need to get on with Finlay Donovan, haha.
You do! She’s so fun! And I can’t wait to read the St. James book. It looks so good 😊
I’ve seen a couple of these on almost very list today and it’s not surprising because they’re also on my release radar 🙂 There are always so many books that I want to add to my TBR. I hope you enjoy all of these!
I think 2024 is going to be a particularly good reading year!
So very much to love here💜
For sure! I can’t wait to read them all 😊
A Fate Inked in Blood is getting a lot of recs today. Definitely going to have to pick that one up, I think!
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
Danielle Jensen is an amazing writer 💕
I added a few of these to my wishlist!
They all look so wonderful. I don’t think you could go wrong with any of them!
Ooh! I didn’t realise Heavenly Tyrant was soon! I really want to read that one.
Here’s my TTT!
I can’t wait to see where it goes considering how the first book ended.
That Simone St. James book looks really good! I’m also excited for The Familiar and A Fate Inked in Blood. Hopefully, we both like them all!
My TTT
I hope so too! They all look so good 😊
Like normal, I want to read pretty much your whole list. haha. I have A Fate Inked in Blood as an ARC but that hardcover is so pretty! I’ll have to purchase it if the book is as good as I hope! Enjoy all of these, Tessa!
I wish I had room in February to read it but I’m being good and ignoring the ARC. I’ll just buy the gorgeous book and fit it in where I can.
That’s not a bad plan! Way to have some restraint with the arc! 🙂
Fab list! I neeeeeed to read Bride!
You really do! I read it this weekend and it’s so addictive.
I also have Heavenly Tyrant on my list. The rest of your list looks very interesting. I hope you enjoy these.
I can’t wait to read it. I want to know what happens!!!
Yay, Ruth Ware & Simone St. James, two of my favorites!
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday post.

They look so good, don’t they Diana? I can’t wait to read them!
I’ve read MURDER ROAD already. It’s not my favorite St. James novel by far, but I enjoyed it for the most part. I’m also excited for the new Ware novel. I hope you enjoy all these!
Happy TTT!

I’m very curious about it. And I’m sure the Ware novel will be excellent!
I hope you love these! I can’t wait for Center’s book.
Me either. I hope it’s as good as the last two!
This is a great list!! Lots for me to check out!
Here’s mine. 🙂

Great list, Tessa. I have six of these on my TBR already, but might check out a couple of those fantasy book. This top ten week is always deadly on my TBR. I hope you enjoy them all.
I can understand that. I was adding as I went through too!
Ahh, a great list! I hadn’t realised Heavenly Tyrant was finally coming out, until I saw it on people’s lists. Now to decide if I reread the first book…
