February's also got Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales which I'm looking forward to very much! I put all of your books on my TBR, they all sound fantastic.

[ReadingUpNorth]

My TBR list is creaking and swaying after this video. So many great releases!

[bibliochemist]

I am also so stoked for Silverborn! It's been so long and it's finally almost here! I might do an audio reread of the first three to get ready.

[nitzeart]

I'm so hyped for Nevermoor!! 🥰 It's the perfect middle grade fantasy series 🩷

[PagesInTheForest]

Martha Wells has fast become one of my favourite authors. I absolutely look forward to reading Queen Demon, as well as working my way through some of her olderbooks (I need to get the Raksura short story collections). I'm stoked TOR announced they will be releasing omnibus collections of the Murderbot books :D

[jilliannoble]

There are SO many books coming out this year I’m excited for. Abercrombie, Swan, Islington, Kuang, Kingfisher AND Sanderson all in one year?!?! My heart is racing!!!

[asiangsus]

Regan, you put me on the “Nevermoor” series by Jessica Townsend when I watched your middle grade video and I HAVE BEEN SO OBSESSED ever since. “Silverborn” is going to be a BLAST! I thank you forever and ever 💜

[Courtney-yl]

My current TBR is crying for help with the amount of releases coming out this year. This is the best year of releases I have seen in awhile.

[nimzipow]

I’m super excited for The Ragpicker King, Rebel Witch and the third Empire of the Vampire book! 😍

[monicaaideedaydreams]

I am dying to read The Ragpicker King! I loved Swordcatcher <3 I thought it was great!!

[LibrariesandLattes]

Can’t wait for so many of these as well! Especially Water Moon, Oathbound, A Drop of Corruption, The Knight and the Moth, Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil, and The Possession of Alba Diaz! Some other anticipated releases for me include The Baby Dragon Cafe, Onyx Storm (yeah…), the third Emily Wilde book, Say You’ll Remember Me, Great Big Beautiful Life, My Friends, and A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping!

[befuddledpanda]

Water Moon is indeed dreamy, whimsical but also dark and heavy at times. Very good read for winter indeed. Lots to dig into should you want to.

[arleneallen]

Your skin is so beautiful, and that’s the best recommendation for Curology.

[authorstigdyrdal]

My most anticipated release of 2025 is Backhanded Compliments by Katie Chandler! It looks like it's gonna be the book of the summer for me! :D

[HeatherHolbrook-qgju]
