Top Ten Tuesday: Most anticipated reads for first half of 2020

Series to continue by favorite authors set to publish in the next six months!

That Artsy Reader Girl has hosted Top Ten Tuesday since January of 2018. This is a fun meme with specific topics each week. If you like to make lists and talk about books be sure to check it out.

This week we’re talking about the books that we are most excited about for the first half of 2020. I’ve listed them by the month they’re set to publish.

I hope to read all these books. However, most of the ebooks (which is what I mostly read) are listed for $10 or more. I won’t get to read them soon unless they go on sale or are at my library since I can’t pay that much for my books.

What books are you most looking forward to in the first half of 2020?

Author: Jan

I love to read--especially mysteries, science fiction and fantasy. I also love blogging, photography, gardening, playing Mah Jonng, reading with a cat on my lap, throwing a ball for a dog, creating cards to send to family and friends, reading book blogs, using my computer.

  1. I already have A Longer Fall on reserve at my library. I’ve heard good things about it from a few that have read it already. And you just reminded me I REALLY want to read the first Murderbot book this year. I’ve heard such great things!

    1. I have A Longer Fall on reserve at my library, too. The Murderbot books are really good and the first books are actually novellas so they’re quick to read.

    1. Oh, I’m glad the Armstrong book got a good review. I like that series so much. And I really liked the first Allison Montclair book, too, Katherine.

  5. I want many of these too. I just got the Smoke Bitten eARC today. And I plan to read Stars Beyond soon as I have loved their other books. I want to get Alone in the Wild on audio. Well it’s no secret I want to read everything! We will see what I can manage.
