I know there are probably a lot of other books coming out in the next 5-6 months that I've missed that I'll want to read, so I look forward to checking out everyone else's lists this week...and adding to my own. 😉
Happy Reading!
Beth O'Leary is writing her books pretty quickly now. And I'll look to see what you think of the Kelley Armstrong novel. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of K. Armstrong, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to really like it. But I'll let you know. ;D
DeleteHappy to hear that Simone St James has a new book out. I really enjoyed the Sun Down Motel. The new books that are coming out I guess can be found on goodreads?
ReplyDeleteI'm excited she has a new one out, too. And I've heard good things about it! I do check on Goodreads for new release dates of favorite authors and favorite series. I don't know of a better way to do it, though I'm sure there is one. ;D
DeleteThe Book Witch sounds fun. I hope you enjoy all of these.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope I do, too. :D
DeleteI'm planning on reading The Book Witch too! I hope you love A Box Full of Darkness when you get to it😁
ReplyDeleteI was so happy to see that you loved A Box Full of Darkness! Makes me even more eager to read it. :D
DeleteLovely list, Lark! I've got a couple of them on hold at my library, though they are not out yet. And are on order for that library. A Box Full of Darkness is one and also First Sign of Danger. Can't wait!!
ReplyDeleteI'm very excited to read First Sign of Danger...but my library doesn't have a copy of it in their catalog system yet. I keep checking. Hopefully soon. :D
DeleteThere are so many books to look forward to! I hope you enjoy all of these! :D
ReplyDeleteAnd I know I'm missing some! Like I didn't even check for new releases by Pepper Basham or Courtney Walsh or Jenny Proctor. I'm sure they have books coming out this year, too.
DeleteWow! So many wonderful books!!
ReplyDeleteSerendipitous, isn't it? :D
DeleteI'm looking forward to reading the Jimenez and O'Leary books. I hope you enjoy reading all of these when you get the chance.

Thank you! :D
DeleteI’ll have to check out The Night We Met. I didn’t know Jimenez had a new book coming out.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy her books. :D
DeleteI hope they're good.
ReplyDeleteMe, too, Mary! :D
DeleteI don't even dare to look at lists of new books coming out--I haven't finished all the ones that just came out & I want to read...
ReplyDeleteI know how that goes! I'm way behind in all my reading lists, but I'm making peace with it. ;D
DeleteI hope you enjoy all of these when you do get a chance to read them :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cindy. They're all from favorite authors so I should...but you never know 'til you open up the book and start reading. ;D
DeleteI can't wait until the new Katherine Center book comes out.
ReplyDeleteMe either. I love her books. :D
DeleteAs you said, we have several in common! I'm also looking forward to that Simone St. James, I have it on hold at my library and that new Dungeon Crawler Carl! Do you know my daughter listened to all the books already?! I told her about the series as soon as I finished book one (after seeing you love it!) and she started it and was obsessed! We both love the books. Princess Donut and Mongo are a hoot! I finished book three but have to wait to start book four because I have review books due *cries*!
ReplyDeleteI love that your daughter zoomed through the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. It is addictive! I'm anxious for the next one to come out. Carl and Donut and Mongo are the best. :D
DeleteI'm putting several of these on my reading list.
ReplyDeleteYay! I hope you enjoy them, too. :D
DeleteThe Book Witch has been on a lot of lists this week, I'll have to check it out 😊.

The Book Witch looks very fun. I hope it is. :D Thanks for commenting!
DeleteWe have a bunch in common! So much to look forward to. I'm planning to start the Haven's Rock series in the next few weeks, so I won't quite be ready for the Kelley Armstrong books when it's released, but I hope to get there soon!
ReplyDeleteThe Haven's Rock books read a little faster than her Rockton ones...especially the first ones. So I'm sure you'll catch up soon. :D
DeleteYou are a terrible influence! I only had a few of these on my list and now I need to add the Simone St James, all of the April releases, and a few others.
ReplyDeletelol. sorry...not sorry. You're always adding to my TBR list, too. ;D
DeleteI enjoyed both A BOX FULL OF DARKNESS and FIRST SIGN OF DANGER. I hope you will, too!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
I'm sure I will. I love both authors. :D
DeleteI'm looking forward to the new Simone St. James book, too!
ReplyDeleteI've got it on hold at my library; hopefully it comes in soon!
DeleteNice list, I've wanted to read Abby Jimenez.
ReplyDeleteI've read several of her books and enjoyed them all. She's an author I would recommend. :D
DeleteI've struggled with O'Leary's books in the past but have been meaning to try another one. I hope you love all of these!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I couldn't get through Flatshare but loved Swept Away. We'll see how this one goes.
DeleteThe Shippers is incredible! I highly recommend it!
ReplyDeleteI'm very excited to read that one! But then I love Katherine Center's books. :D
DeleteMore books to add to my wish list! I finished A Box Full of Darkness earlier this week and enjoyed it. I hope you will too!
ReplyDeleteSome interesting books there!
