Well, this is a subject dear to my book-loving heart as we near the end of 2020. My eyes have been feasting on what is in store and my patience is limited so I’ll be glad to welcome these lovelies to my shelves just as soon as I’m able.
I’ll try to list them in release order, but some don’t have a release date yet or I’ve only got a rumor of their release so I’ll slip them in at the bottom. And, most are in the first half of the year.

Playing With Fyre by Cara Bristol, sci-fi romance
This is the third installment in a series of alien dragon shifter/earth romances and intrigue.

I’ve already preordered Wild Sign by Patricia Briggs!
I can’t wait. 🙂
Wow I want. I didn’t know the titles of some of these but I will now be looking for them. I don’t think I’ll be far enough along with the CS Harris series unless it is coming out late in the year. But I’ll get to it eventually. Thanks so much for sharing in the fun / agony in picking all these favorites and celebrating them.
Yes, it was agony picking only ten. There are so many that I want to read next year. 🙂
Gosh my TBR list is already out of control, but who can blame me. There’s so many good ones coming out next year!
So true! I’ll never run out of books to read. 🙂
There are so many good releases that are coming into 2021….I have no idea how I will limit the ones I will share this week. I am loving that cover to Wild Sign.
I hope you have a blast with all of these here.
Yes, I’m excited about so many. Looking forward to your list, Renee.
Yes to An Unexpected Peril by Deanna Raybourn, Wild Sign by Patricia Briggs, and A Good Day For Chardonnay by Darynda Jones. I’m also super excited for Blood Heir by Ilona Andrews and A Dance of Smoke and Steel by Milla Vane.
Lots of good ones in the new year. 🙂 I need to get caught up, but then I’m definitely reading Blood Heir.
I jumped ahead and have already read An Unexpected Peril and A Stranger in Town. I cannot wait to get my hands on Wild Sign. I hope you love all of these!
I was tempted to do it, but I had so many older ones that I had to catch up so I’m using these as incentives to get the older ones done. 🙂
OooOOOOooo these are looking good!
And the anticipation grows….
Great list! I still have to catch up on that Kelley Armstrong series, but the books I read so far in that series were great. I am also hoping Sparks Transform by Carol Van Natta will release next year!
LOL, we hope each year for that one. 🙂
Honestly, I can’t remember names of books but I am looking forward to at least two new ones from Karina Halle from her Experiment in Terror series, a new one by J.T. Geissinger, one from Dannika Dark( hopefully 2) and so many more. Oh and I just found out one from Christina Lauren is coming as well.
If it weren’t for posts like this, I’d only have a vague idea that an author I’m following has a book out at some point. 🙂 Now, my anticipation is through the roof for these and more.
I join a lot of favorite authors Facebook groups so that really helps me. I’m probably in at least 8 different ones. Also, I follow some on Instagram and on Twitter. Keeps me usually informed.
Yes, that’s a great way to do it. A few on this list are there b/c I see books mentioned in author newsletters or social media.
Ooo, An Unexpected Peril, must start that series!
Oh yes, Velvet! I think you would love her spunk.
