This autumn sounds like it’s going to be an excellent season for books.
Here are ten titles I’m looking forward to, a few of which I learned about from the Top Ten Tuesday topic earlier this year about books we’re anticipating that are being released in the second half of the year.
I will be thanking those bloggers individually later on in this post as they really helped me find some great titles for today’s post.
1. The Maiden and Her Monster by Maddie Martinez
Why I Want to Read It: The golem myth is something I’d like to learn more about.
2. Hot Wax by M.L. Rio
Why I Want to Read It: The protagonist’s backstory sounds quite mysterious.
3. Cursed Daughters by Oyinkan Braithwaite
Thank you to AJ Sterkel for blogging about this.
Publication Date: September 25
Why I Want to Read It: As soon as I read the phrase generational curse in the blurb, I knew this was going to catch my attention. What an interesting topic.
4. The Lost Story of Eva Fuentes by Chanel Cleeton
Publication Date: September 30
Why I Want to Read It: Imagine being paid to procure the last copy of a book known to exist! What an unusual thing to do.
5. What Stalks the Deep by T. Kingfisher
Publication Date: September 30
Why I Want to Read It: Kingfisher is on my must-read list, and this is one of two books from them on today’s list.
6. The Unveiling: A Novel by Quan Barry
Thank you to Top 100 Books Reviews for blogging about this.
Publication Date: October 14
Why I Want to Read It: Literary horror isn’t a mashup of genres I see too often.
7. The land of sweet forever by Harper Lee
Thank you to Anne @ Headfull Of Books for blogging about this.
Publication Date: October 21
Why I Want to Read It: A new Harper Lee book sounds great to me.
8. Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins
Publication Date: November 4
Why I Want to Read It: More Hunger Games universe stuff? Sign me up!
9. Deadly Ever After by Brittany Johnson
Publication Date: November 4
Why I Want to Read It: I’m excited to see how Ms. Johnson makes the concept of true love’s kiss fresh and new again.
10. Snake-Eater by T. Kingfisher
Publication Date: November 11
Why I Want to Read It: As stated earlier, Kingfisher is one of those authors I always find time to check out.
I’ve seen What Stalks The Deep on another bloggers post recently, it does have a great book cover.
I know, right? I hope it’s good. 🙂
Happy Reading. Have a great week.https://dmhoisington.wordpress.com/2025/09/23/top-ten-tuesday-2/
You’re welcome!
Ohhh…..kay…..I hadn’t heard of this “Harper Lee” novel. Will be investigating and using my library-man wizardry.
I hope you like it! I was surprised to see it, too.
You are so welcome for: The Unveiling: A Novel by Quan Barry
I’m psyched for Cursed Daughters by Oyinkan Braithwaite from your list above 🧡
Awesome. May you enjoy it. I’m happy you visited this post and saw my comment about you.
THE MAIDEN AND HER MONSTER is very good (and I also need to read SUNRISE ON THE REAPING!)
Thanks for letting me know. Yay!
Can’t wait for the new Harper Lee. I forgot to add it to my list, however. Ha!
Oh, funny. I’m glad I could remind you. 🙂
I’m so excited for Cursed Daughters. Also, I just finished the new Hunger Games book and loved it.
Oh, that’s great to hear. I hope you like Cursed Daughters, too.
I hope you’ll love all these books!

Fingers crossed we do. 🙂
I liked What Stalks the Deep — it’s mindboggling to me how Kingfisher comes up with so many neat ideas! Hope you enjoy it.
I’ve had that same thoughts about Kingfisher. Incredible. Happy reading to you as well.
