2025 is looking really stacked with so many exciting new releases on the way! It was difficult for me to pick only 10, but here are the ones I am most looking forward to in the first half of the year.
Top 10 Tuesday was originally created by The Broke and the Bookish, but has now moved to That Artsy Reader Girl. If you’re interested in taking part click here.
Release dates are subject to change and these are based on the ones I could find for UK retailers so may differ for other countries.

As a big fan of the Hunger Games books, I was of course incredibly excited to find out we would be getting a new book in 2025 – honestly Suzanne Collins could write anything set in this world and I would read it. I’m also looking forward to V. E. Schwab’s new book and to read Elizabeth May’s republished version of The Falconer. There are also many new authors I haven’t read before on this list so I’m hopeful to discover some new favourites this year.

The Last Book On The Left 
I’d missed the new Axie Oh! I loved The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea.
I haven’t read Axie Oh’s previous books but this one caught my eye and sounds great! I hope you enjoy it.
I’m so excited that we’re getting a new V.E. Schwab book!
I love her writing and she writes such an interesting mix of books!
The Floating World almost made it on to my list! What Wakes The Bells looks amazing. I hope you’ll enjoy all of these books when you get to read them :)
