Which books releasing in the second half of 2022 do you wish you could read right now?
Here it is! As of this post, this is the complete list of all the books I want to read that are being published during the remainder of 2022.
So many adventures to read by so many new-to-me authors! There are also highly anticipated sequels – looking at you, Bloodmarked! – forthcoming that I’ve been thinking about since last year, which also feels like forever ago. A lot of fantasy and romance make up this humongous list too. I think most of my favorite upcoming releases are being published in August, September, and November.
On Tuesday, I’ll be posting about my top 10 releases in the second half of 2022 that I’m excited about the most. Until then, please enjoy this list (that is in no way out of control):
