Top Ten Tuesday: The Shiny and New Still to Come
1:00 AM
It's Tuesday again and you know what that means. It's time to take a break from all the craziness happening in the world and focus on what's really important: books. Kidding, kidding. Top Ten Tuesday is an excellent excuse to take some time out for some bookish fun, though. If you've never joined in before, you definitely need to give it a go. Why? Here are ten fantastic reasons. Convinced? Good. Now, all you have to do is hop on over to That Artsy Reader Girl, read a few instructions, build your own list, then spend some happy hours spreading the love across our wonderful book blogosphere. What's not to love?
I'm all over today's topic since I'm always interested to see what new books are coming out. Not that I need to be distracted by the shiny and new when I already have TBR piles all over the dang place. Still. I just can't help myself. I'm excited about all the books still to come out in 2020. Today, I'm going to restrain myself and just chat about ten ...
Top Ten Most Anticipated Releases for the Second Half of 2020 (in order of release):
1. We Are All the Same in the Dark by Julia Heaberlin (available August 11)—A small Texas town is still reeling after the disappearance of a local young woman. When a mysterious mute girl is found by the side of the road in the same town, a young police office becomes obsessed with figuring out what happened to both girls. I'm always up for an intriguing mystery!
2. When No One Is Watching by Alyssa Cole (available September 1)—Concerned over the deterioration of her Brooklyn neighborhood, Sydney Green and her neighbor are trying to revitalize the place. A delve into the area's history reveals some disturbing answers to the question of where all the residents are disappearing to. Will Sydney be the next to vanish?
3. The Deadly Hours by Susanna Kearsley, C.S. Harris, Anna Lee Huber, and Christine Trent (available September 1)—Huber is the only one of these authors that I've read before, but her involvement is more than enough to make me want to read this book. The story features a cursed gold watch and the havoc it wreaks on all who own it throughout several centuries.
4. Rated by Melissa Grey (available September 3)—This dystopian YA novel takes place in a society where everyone's behavior is rated in real-time 24/7. Your rating determines your place in life. When a shocking act puts the spotlight on a prestigious high school where ratings are everything, things start to get very interesting for six special classmates ... [Update: Someone pointed out that Rated actually came out last year. Oops! At least we don't have to wait to read it :)]
5. The Orphan of Cemetery Hill by Hester Fox (available September 15)—I've enjoyed Fox's two previous novels, so I'm excited for her newest, which concerns a young woman who can commune with the dead. When she runs away from home and ends up in a Boston cemetery, she becomes embroiled in a sinister scheme that puts her and her future in grave danger.
6. To Tell You the Truth by Gilly Macmillan (available September 22)—I got a good start on this one while sitting at the DMV for three hours today so my son could get his driver's permit. So far, I am loving the story, which revolves around a bestselling thriller writer whose wildly popular fictional character is starting to take over her life. When her husband disappears, the author must ask herself some very disturbing questions ...
7. The Book of Two Ways by Jodi Picoult (available September 22)—Picoult's been a longtime favorite author of mine, so I always look forward to a new book from her. Her latest is about a married woman who's still infatuated by a man she used to know. When she miraculously survives a plane crash and the airline offers her the chance to fly anywhere in the world, she sees an opportunity to live a whole new life. And takes it. Intriguing, yes?
8. The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes (available September 29)—Are you a Knives Out fan? Me, too. This YA thriller is being compared to the hit movie thanks to its similar premise. When a penniless high school senior inherits a fortune from a man she's never meant, she's stunned. Why has he singled her out? And what crazy game is he making her play in order to get the money she so desperately needs?
9. The Searcher by Tana French (available October 6)—French is one of my favorite thriller writers, so I'm always on the lookout for a new book from her. It appears her newest is a departure from her Dublin Murder Squad series. Still, it sounds like a compelling mystery. It features a retired cop who's ready for some R&R in the Irish countryside. When a local boy goes missing, however, the child's brother talks the detective into investigating the disappearance.
10. The Arctic Fury by Greer Macallister (available December 1)—Twelve women join a secret Arctic expedition in the 1850's. Not all of them make it back. A sensational murder trial ensues. Murder in the Arctic? I'm SO in for this one!
There you have it—ten upcoming releases that I can't wait to read. What do you think of my list? Do we have any titles in common? Which new releases are you excited about? I'd truly love to know. Leave me a comment on this post and I will return the favor on yours.
Happy TTT!
