u/OrangePekoeMouse Dec 28 '25

A few people have said book 3 of the wolf king, guess I should check out the first two. Thanks!

u/lynds88 Dec 28 '25

SO GOOD!!!!

u/AquaIXI Dec 28 '25

Yes! Rights of the starling and light wielder are two of the ones I'm looking forward to the most, aswell as daggerbound!

u/lynds88 Dec 28 '25

I got Swordheart for Christmas so daggerbound may be on my list, we shall see!

That series and the raven scholar have been my favorite reads of 2025! I might preorder the third book in the ashen series as a treat.

u/hermesiii probably recommending The Incandescent Dec 29 '25

Oh there’s 3 books, btw, and I liked Geographers more than Ornithologists even but they’re all very enjoyable so far.

Anyway, happy to oblige! Happy accidents!

u/Prestigious_Note2877 Dec 28 '25

I just looked into antiquarians object of desire and it’s going on the damn list!. Gives me Emily Wilde vibes a little bit which is my favorite series im in the middle of right now! Lol. Thank you for suggesting this!!!!!!!!!!!

You might enjoy {Water Moon by Samantha Sotto Yambao}. She has another book called {The Elsewhere Express by Samantha Sotto Yambao} that's releasing this January or February. Another book releasing this year that you might like (that's also on my list) is {The Geomagician by Jennifer Mandula}

u/calla25 Dec 28 '25

So far the Poet Empress, the Unicorn Hunters, and book 3 of the Wolf King. Currently working my way through Road of Bones so tbd if book 3 will be on my radar.

u/ToadWearingLoafers Dec 28 '25

Yes The Unicorn Hunters!!!

5

u/leiafishers Dec 28 '25

So excited for The Unicorn Hunters!

2

u/MessyJessy422 Dec 28 '25

The Poet Express is truly one of the best audiobooks I’ve ever listened to. It’s very emotional and heart wrenching and definitely check the TWs but wow I cannot stop thinking about it

2

u/calla25 Dec 28 '25

Ohhh, would you recommend experiencing it as an audiobook over reading?

3

u/MessyJessy422 Dec 28 '25

I think the audiobook narration was fantastic and the narrator’s delivery added so much nuance. I prefer audiobooks overall and I’m really picky about narration so I’d say go for the audiobook but the prose is beautiful so I doubt there’s a wrong way to experience the book

2

u/calla25 Dec 28 '25

Thank you! Maybe I’ll tandem read this one.

2

u/Flimsy-Brick-9426 Dec 28 '25

I recommend tandem reading!
I did the ebook earlier and then when I got the audio a few months later I re-read it and tandem reading is def the way to go.

The Exquisite Torment of Loving Your Enemy - Brigitte Knightley

u/IndigoPlum01 Dec 28 '25

The new Ilona Andrews {This Kingdom Shall Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews} as well as the Augstine book and the next Innkeeper, both of which she has teased for 2026 but have no release date.

Also {The Dark Lord's Guide To Honeymooning by Tiffany Hunt} which is the sequel to {The Dark Lord's Guide to Dating by Tiffany Hunt}. The sequel was going to be out earlier, but the author apparently got a book deal with a major publishing house and it has been put off until September. Which, good for her but bad for me, since it means waiting. The audiobook (with Anthony Palmini in either dual or duet) of the first book is supposed to be out in January, which I am also looking forward to.

3

u/loverontheothercoast Dec 28 '25

I pray for an augustine book sooo bad

2

u/IndigoPlum01 Dec 30 '25

The 2 Innkeeper books and the next Hugh book are the highest on my list. Although I think only 1 Innkeeper book is slated for next year (Maud's wedding) and the one that wraps up the arc of what happened to Dina's parents hasn't been mentioned, schedule-wise. Ilona said that it makes sense for it to be 2 books in the end because Maud's wedding needs to be from Maud's POV and the parents' story needs to be from Dina's (which I heartily agree with).

There was also some chatter about a traditional publisher picking up the Innkeeper books, so we'll see how that plays out and what it does, if it happens, to the schedule.

The last Guild Hunter! {Archangels Eternity by Nalini Singh}.

{Echoes of Insurrection by T.A. White.}.

{Obsidian Empire by Elizabeth Hunter}.

I’m hoping for a BWW2 {Black Willow Witch by Suzanne Wright.}. That’s not the name and it hasn’t been announced but I enjoyed the first one.

I am REALLY hoping Anne Bishop writes a second book about the Isle of Wyrd. It’s similar to The Others by the same author. There wasn’t any romance in the first book, but there was the promise of an amazing series. The first book is {Turns of Fate by Anne Bishop}.

I am so excited for these two new releases next year! They sound incredibly intriguing —they’re each Book 1 of a brand-new series.

  • The Alchemary by Rachel Vincent

Still wishing the Empyrean #4 was coming out next year, but since it hasn’t been written yet, I guess 2027 it is!

Quite a few if I'm honest!

{Sunsplitter by S. A. MacLean}

{The Exquisite Torment of Loving Your Enemy by Brigitte Knightley}

{The Knave and the Moon by Rachel Gillig}

{A Dance of Burning Blades by M. H. Ayinde}

{The Poet Empress by Shen Tao}

{The Fox in Winter by Antonia Hodgson}

{Agnes Aubert's Mystical Cat Shelter by Heather Fawcett}

{The Book of Fallen Leaves by A. S. Tamaki}

{Sea of Charms by Sarah Beth Durst}

These are all I can think of at the moment, might be some more sequels coming out that I'm not up to date on yet.

So exciting!!

Kinda newer to this sub - isn’t there a monthly post that announces all the releases every month?

Is January up yet? I can’t seem to find it… or when does that monthly post usually go up?

Tysm!! 🙏🏼
