October 2026 Hopefuls (AKA My TBR)

I can’t believe it is already October. This year is flying by, and last month felt like it disappeared in a blink. That being said, the start of a fresh month means it is time for a new TBR! I had to scramble to create this one because the end of the month snuck up on me somehow. lol. Without further ado, let’s dive into my October 2026 hopefuls and a brief recap of my reading from last month!

October 2026 Book Releases

December 2023 Book Releases - Header

It’s the end of the month, which means it’s once again time to look ahead to some great upcoming book releases. This month’s list is a bit lighter than last month’s, coming in at 25 books. Although, that’s still probably way more than I’ll ever have time to read. Oh well. Hopefully, I’ll get to them all one day. Regardless, I’m excited to see them enter the world and find their readers. If you missed my list of September 2026 releases, you can find it HERE. Without further ado, here are 25 of my most anticipated October 2026 book releases (covers link to Goodreads):

Hello, everyone! Today I’ve got a LONG overdue review of The Radiant King by David Dalglish. This ARC has been sitting on my shelf for over a year and a half.

Books on My Fall 2026 to-Read List – Top Ten Tuesday

Top Ten Tuesday - Books Set in a School

Today I’m participating in Top Ten Tuesday. This meme was 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. Each week there is a new theme/topic, and participants choose ten books that fit it.

This week’s theme is Books on My Fall 2026 to-Read List. I never got around to making a list for summer, but I actually did okay with my spring list. I read or DNF’d 7 out of the 10 books that I chose. Hopefully, this fall will be just as successful (or more). I have a ton of ARCs to read in the fall, but I’m honestly a bit burnt out from ARC reading at the moment. Obviously I’ll read them, but I’m going to focus on book purchases and backlist reads for this list. Without further ado, let’s take a look at what I hope to read before fall is over… The covers link to the Goodreads page of each book in case something catches your eye!
