Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together
Happy Tuesday y’all! This week’s topic is “Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the Second Half of 2025.” This is one of my favorite weeks of the year (kinda like the quarterly TBR posts). I love seeing what everyone is anticipating and finding new books for myself to add to my own list. There are SO many good books from some of my favorite authors coming out later this year. Below are the top ten releases coming during the second half of 2025, in order by publication date. As always, covers/titles link to blog post, Goodreads, or Amazon (affiliate).

You’re the first I see whose having Primal on their list too!
I have to keep an eye on the new Marissa Meyer book as I’m not sure if it will be for me. I want to read reviews first.

I’m excited for Primal. I’m behind reading the series (intentionally waiting til she was closer to done) so I’m planning to binge them next month before release.
I hope you enjoy all of these when you get the chance to read them. Have a great week!

Thank you Cindy ☺️ You too!
I agree, The Sleepless does have an interesting cover. Have to look it up. And I see The House Saphir for the second time now.

That dragon on The Sleepless caught my eye before the blurb did 😂
OOoh nice! A Land So Wide made my list too! I’m also excited for House Saphir and Between these Broken Hearts! Although I’m likely waiting for the FL one to keep my set matching! Lol! I am sooo behind on JLA’s series but I keep buying them! Thorn Season and The Sleepless are on my watchlist but it won’t take much for me to add them to the TBR I think! LOL.
Hope you enjoy all of these once you get to read them!
Here’s my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!

I’m behind on JLA’s series too. Because the cliffhangers are the worst, I decided to wait until closer to her being done to finish up the series. I think I’m going to binge read them all next month in prep for the last one.
Stunning covers here! The Weaver Bride and The Sleepless both look really interesting.
I really enjoyed Gregovic’s debut, gothic Victorian vibe. I’m curious to see if The Weaver Bride is just as good.
I’m keeping my eye on The House Saphir! I’m pretty sure I’ll want to read it, and can’t wait to start seeing early reviews!
She’s one of my favorites, so I’m excited to read it. Just got an early ARC of it so going to try to squeeze it in soon.
So many new-to-me titles here! I’m looking forward to the new Marissa Meyer, although I might wait to check out some of the early reviews first.

I need to read more from Briggs. I read the first Mercy Thompson book, which I enjoyed, and for some reason never got around to continuing 😖 Hope you enjoy all of them!
I love the cover for BREAK WIDE THE SEA! I hope you enjoy all these.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

Isn’t it great? It’s haunting.
I’m very excited to continue Poppy and Casteel’s story. Great list!
I’m so far behind on that whole JLA world, I need to get caught up. I have an e-galley of the new Marissa Meyer one that I’m debating if I’ll read or not. Lots of great books coming!
