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 Second Half of 2025.

All but two of these are continuations of series I already love. The Mimi Matthews book is #2 in a new series; I love her books, and I’m looking forward to reading the Crinoline Academy novel this summer. The only new-to-me author in the list is Courtney Floyd, but how can I resist “cozy dark academia” novel about a mage student with intense anxiety… a book Max Gladstone described as “replete with organizing, romance, anxiety, camaraderie, and courage.”
