Top Ten Tuesday: Anticipated Releases for the Second Half of 2020

First line in The Red Scrolls of Magic by Cassandra Clare

Hi, guys and welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday. Today we’re talking about the new releases coming in the remaining half of 2020 (yes, we still have a whole 6 months left of this hell year). Since I don’t care very much about new releases, my list is mainly made up of sequels to series I’m already reading, although there are a few starters to series/standalones in there. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.

  • The Faithless Hawk by Margaret Owen (August 18) – The Merciful Crow #2. A great fantasy-spin on caste systems.
  • The Lost Book of the White by Cassandra Clare (September 1) – The Eldest Curses #2. More Magnus and Alec? Yes please!
  • The Left-Handed Booksellers of London by Garth Nix (September 22) – Standalone. Your favorite hand determines your ability in an alternate London? Oh, and they’re all booksellers apparantly because why not?
  • The Archive of the Forgotten by A. J. Hackwith (October 6) – Hell’s Library #2. My favorite group of people trying to prevent books from running away.
  • The Captive Kingdom by Jennifer A. Nielsen (October 6) – The Ascendance Series #4. A series I thought was over but of course ready for another adventure with Jaron.
  • The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V. E. Schwab (October 6) – Standalone. You all know what this is.
  • Return of the Thief by Megan Whalen Turner (October 6) – The Queen’s Thief #6. My level of excitement for this is indescribable.
  • Northern Wrath by Thilde Kold Holdt (October 27) – The Hanged God Trilogy #1. Vikings and Norse gods!(!!)
  • Rhythm of War by Brandon Sanderson (November 17) – The Stormlight Archive #4. You’re not getting a description of this one either.
  • A Sky Beyond the Storm by Sabaa Tahir (December 1) – An Ember in the Ashes #4. Finally!!! A slave tries to save her brother (and possibly the world) in this brutal, Roman inspired setting.

Those are 10 books I should be reading the day they come out but probably won’t. I feel excused on October 6 because four of these are published on that exact date. Why is that date so special?? I need to know!

Well, I’m super excited to read all of these. What are some of your most anticipated releases?

  1. I can’t wait to read The invisible Life of Addie LaRue since I’ve heard so many people raving about it and I NEED to read A Reaper at the Gates so that I can see how the story ends! However, I don’t know if I’ll read The Lost Book of the White as I was a bit underwhelmed with The Red Scrolls of Magic (even if Magnus is my favorite character in the Shadowhunter Chronicles).

    1. Yeah, haven’t seen a bad review of Addie LaRue yet.
      I felt similarly about The Red Scrolls of Magic. Magnus is great but he can’t carry the entire book. However, I have a thing that if a Shadowhunter book exists then I must read it. Nothing to be done, but I understand your hesitation.

    1. Exactly! I’m very excited to see what direction she takes it. It’s been a while since I’ve read a book from a Danish author so excited to do that, too 😀
