Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature/meme now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. The meme was originally the brainchild of The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the First Half of 2024.

Thank you; I will!

These look like fun books! Though – I REALLY need to start the Celia Lake and Laurie R. King series! They keep getting longer and I haven’t touched them yet. Happy reading!

I love both series, although Laurie King is the better writer from a literary and writing-craft point of view.
Lydia
The Magic of Four has such a pretty cover.

Thank you! That’s not the actual cover; that hasn’t been released yet. This is just a placeholder I put together myself, using Canva. But I’m glad you like it!
Susan (Bloggin' 'bout Books)
I love the Veronica Speedwell series and the Below Stairs series. I’m behind in both of them, but that doesn’t mean I’m not excited for the new installments! Ha ha. I hope you love all these.
Happy TTT!

I’m one book behind in Veronica Speedwell, and up-to-date on Below Stairs… but I know exactly what you mean. There are other series I’m further behind on, but I’m still delighted and excited when I see there’s a new book coming.
Greg
I’m really looking forward to Emily Wilde!

Me too! I loved the first book.
Ellie
I hadn’t heard of Just Stab Me Now before, but the whole “deranged author who won’t leave them alone” sounds good!

Oh, you should definitely check out Jill Bearup’s YouTube series that started it all. It’s wonderful! You can see them by clicking these links: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4. The fan response was so enthusiastic that she decided to write the book.
Rachel @Waves of Fiction
I’m looking forward to The Lily of Ludgate Hill, A Grave Robbery, Always Remember too! Oh, thanks for the heads up on Mind Games! I’m off to look that up! Hope you enjoy all on your list, Lark!

It’s funny; I haven’t seen as much pre-marketing for Mind Games as I usually do for a Nora Roberts book. It’s a little different than her standard spring book, because there’s a slight paranormal element (psychic ability, not paranormal creatures.) Hence the title, I guess.
Katherine
I somehow missed the Nora Roberts but that’s going to the top of my list. I also liked the one Mimi Mathews I’ve read and would really like to read more from her. Connie Berry is becoming one of my favorites and I’m so looking forward to the new Laurie R. King. I’ve missed Mary Russell!

I’ve missed Mary Russell, too! I’m really looking forward to this new one. Which Mimi Matthews did you read? I read her A Holiday by Gaslight a few years ago, and that got me interested enough to read The Siren of Sussex when it came out. That one made me a fan. And then I loved The Belle of Belgrave Square. 🙂
Connie Berry
Thank you for including A Collection of Lies!
