Most Anticipated Books Releasing In the First Half of 2022

Most Anticipated Books Releasing In the First Half of 2022

January 4, 2022 Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 10 Comments

This week I’m sharing some of my most anticipated books releasing in the first half of 2022. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I love and hate making this list. It’s a great way for me to figure out what is coming out, but I also miss so many books that I also want to read that are coming out at the start of the year. I’m not at the best at always keeping up to date when books are coming out, so I just forget so many books.  But anyway here are some of the ones that I want to read early 2022. 

There is a mix of young adult and romance, but I’m not going to lie, I think it’s going to be another romance reading year. And I’m so ready for it. Anyway, let’s get right into it. Here are some of my most anticipated reads for the first half of 2022. 

Electric Idol (Dark Olympus #2) by Katee Robert | Beautiful Nightmare (Dark Dream Duet #2) by Giana Darling | Always Jane by Jenn Bennett | So This Is Ever After by F.T. Lukens.

Untitled (The Fallen Men #7) by Giana Darling | The Savage (Kingmakers) by Sophie Lark | Secrets We Hunt (One Night #2) by Dana Isaly | I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston.

Under One Roof by Ali Hazelwood | A Duke for Diana (Designing Debutantes #1) by Sabrina Jeffries

And there we go. Those are just some of the books that I am looking forward to reading in the first half of 2022. What books made it to your list? Do we share any books that are the same? Let’s have a chat!

    It’s hard not to miss some with so many books coming out constantly. I haven’t heard of most on your list, but am already thinking some belong on my wish list. I want to read Katee Robert’s last book still which I heard so much about. I hope you get a chance to read and enjoy all of these!

    I can’t seem to pay attention to what is coming because I’m still paying attention to what I missed. Ha! I’m off the board this week. My TTT is my favorite book club selections this past year

    I’ve only visited three blogs so far and I’ve already added over 6 new books to my 2022 releases list… And I think I’ll be adding a few more from here. I had Electric Idol on my TTT too and I can’t believe I forgot Secrets We Hunt—definitely looking forward to reading more by Isaly! I hope you enjoy all these books 😃

    I also want to read Shara Wheeler and So This is Happy Ever After. I’m also curious about Neon Gods – hope the sequel is great.

    Always Jane looks great. I’m with Dini—I’ve been to three sites and have three new books to read. There are 100 people participating so far…so I may have enough books to get me through to July!

    My list is here— https://fiftytwo.blog/2022/01/04/ttt-auto-buy-authors/

    Happy TTT!

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?

January was a really solid reading month. I read s January was a really solid reading month. I read some books that had been on my tbr for some time, reread a few things that peaked my interest. I also started a few new series. And just had a good time!
