The second half of 2025 feels so far away, but it will begin sooner than I think.
It’s interesting how slowly winter seems to pass by versus how quickly summer happens, at least in my experience. Do you feel the same way about the warm seasons where you live?
I once again have another Top Ten Tuesday blogger to thank this week, so stay tuned.
Let’s see what I can come up with for this list.
1. Sisters in the Wind by Angeline Boulley
Release Date: September 2
Why I Want to Read It: Books about foster care often pique my interest.
2. People Watching by Hannah Bonam-Young
Release Date: September 9
Why I Want to Read It: This looks like an adorable summer romance.
3. The Wilderness by Angela Flournoy
Release Date: September 16
Why I Want to Read It: There is nothing like reading a novel about friendships and how they evolve over many years.
4. Alchemised by SenLinYu
Release Date: September 30
Why I Want to Read It: Memory problems are one of the scariest issues the human body can have in my opinion. What a great premise for a story.
5. Cinder House by Freya Marske
Release Date: October 7
Why I Want to Read It: Cinderella was one of my favorite fairy tales as a kid, and I love reading retellings of it.
6. The Last Spirits of Manhattan: A Novel by John A McDermott
Thank you to Susan @ BlogginBoutBooks for blogging about this last winter.
Release Date: October 14
Why I Want to Read It: Two of the quickest ways to make me want to read something is to describe it as a ghost story and as something based on a true story, so this is floating up to the top of my TBR list.
7. Isn’t It Obvious? by Rachel Runya Katz
Release Date: October 21
Why I Want to Read It: Romance readers of Top Ten Tuesday, can you believe I picked two books from that genre this week? If any of you read them, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
8. I’ll Quit When I’m Dead by Luke Smitherd
Release Date: October 14
Why I Want to Read It: Fitness-themed horror is not something I think I’ve read before, but I can totally see how it could be a thing.
9. Hazelthorn by C.G. Drews
Release Date: October 28
Why I Want to Read It: Ooh, this cover looks scary. Plants can be a threat for sure, and not just for those of us with seasonal allergies.
10. Snake-Eater by T. Kingfisher
Release Date: November 11
Why I Want to Read It: Ms. Kingfisher has so many books coming out this year. I tried to refrain from including all of them in the TBR lists last week and this one, but I had to indulge one more time.
The Last Spirits of Manhattan? Sounds fun, a bit like Ghost City.
Yes, I think so, too!
I’ve been seeing People Watching on other lists. I’ll have to read more about this one. 🙂 Thanks for visiting my list.
You’re welcome. Yes, People Watching was everywhere this week!
I’ve seen Cinder House on a few lists. I’m going to have to check it out!
Cool. Enjoy!
Love the cover on Last Spirits in Manhattan!
It’s so fun. 🙂
Great list. The Last Spirits of Manhattan grabbed my attention. I always like books set in New York and ghosts make it even better. Hope you enjoy your books when you get them.
Thank you. Happy reading to you as well!
I forgot to list it, but I’m excited for Alchemised too! And People Watching sounds great too. Hope you’ll love all of these!
Thank you. You, too!
Lots to look forward to! Slow down summer!
Absolutely!
These look good. The whole year just seems to fly by! I hate the Summer so it tends to linger!
Have a great week!
I feel the same way. Happy reading!
It looks like September and October will be big months for you! I hope you enjoy the ones you find the time to read!
Yes, for sure. And thanks.
The cover of The Last Spirits of Manhattan is very stylish!
Agreed!
Jumping over to Goodreads to add so many of these to my TBR. Thanks for the heads up. These all sounds fantastic. Happy reading!
Yay! I hope you like them all. Happy reading.
I’m hoping CInder House gets a UK release!
My fingers are crossed for you that it will!
OOoh nice! Lots of new to me ones here! I’ll Quit When I’m Dead looks spooky and interesting! Lol.
Hope you enjoy all of these once you get to read them! Thanks for visiting my TTT!
You’re welcome. Yeah, that one looks scary for sure.
I’ve already got a couple of these on my TBR (like Snake Eater and Alchemised) but I’ve just added Sisters In The Wind and The Last Spirits Of Manhattan too. I’m especially intrigued to see what’s fact and fiction within the ghost story.
Same here. Enjoy!
What a nice, eclectic list of books! Hope you’ll be able to get to all of them!
Thank you very much. 🙂
I need to read more T. Kingfisher. I’ve really liked what I’ve read so far.
Same here!
Nice mix of books. People Watching, Sisters in th wind and Cinder House all sound good to me. I hope you enjoy them all.
Thank you!
Thanks for the shout out! I was scrolling through your list and when I got to THE LAST SPIRITS OF MANHATTAN, I was like, “Oooh, that looks good.” I had totally forgotten about it, so thanks for the reminder – LOL. I hope we both enjoy it 🙂
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

You’re welcome, Susan, and that’s too funny.
Oooh thank you for featuring Angelin Boulley book because I had no idea she had a new book coming! I loved Firekeepers Daughter!
You’re welcome. I hope you love it.
