Top Ten Tuesday is a tag hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's prompt is "Books on My Spring 2026 To-Read List".
It's time to make another seasonal TBR! I absolutely love planning out what I'm going to read for the next few months.
First, though, how did I do with my Winter TBR?
The Mechanical - Read
Wicked - Read
Dead Mountain: The Untold True Story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident - Read
Project Hail Mary - Read
The House Saphir - Read
A Tale of Time City - Read
Everything's Coming up Rosie - Read
Nice Racism: How Progressive White People Perpetuate Racial Harm - Read
After the Fall - Not read (on hold from library)
In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex - Read
There are a lot of new releases on my Spring TBR, and since I get most of my books from the library, I'm not sure how many of these I'll actually get to. But it's just fun to make lists!
The backlist titles are in alphabetical order, while the new releases are in order of release date. All covers are linked to Goodreads.
~ BACKLIST BOOKS ~
Bride of the Sea, by Eman Quotah
Genre: Fiction
Release Year: 2021
Why I want to read it: I heard this author speak on a panel at either the 2024 or 2025 Washington Writers Conference (I can't remember which), and her book sounds very relevant and impactful. I plan to read this for Arab American Heritage Month in April.
Things My Son Needs to Know About the World, by Fredrik Backman
Genre: Memoir
Release Year: 2012
Why I want to read it: I believe this is the only Backman book to date that I haven't read. I have to read it!
Uncharmed, by Lucy Jane Wood
Genre: Cozy Fantasy
Release Year: 2025
Why I want to read it: I plan to read this for the Cover Lovers Reading Challenge Prompt "a scene you would like to step into for a day".
With the Fire on High, by Elizabeth Acevedo
Genre: YA Contemporary
Release Year: 2019
Why I want to read it: This has been on my paper TBR for years. It's time to read it!
~ NEW RELEASES ~
Agnes Aubert's Mystical Cat Shelter, by Heather Fawcett
Genre: Cozy Fantasy
Release Date: February 17, 2026
Why I want to read it: Heather Fawcett wrote my beloved Emily Wilde series! I can't wait to give her new book a try!
Hot Chocolate on Thursday, by Michiko Aoyama
Genre: Fiction
Release Date: February 17, 2026 (translation)
Why I want to read it: I found this when I was looking for a title to read for the Cover Lovers Reading Challenge prompt "your favorite food or drink". It looks fun, and the English translation just came out in February, so it will go towards my New Release challenge as well!
The Kingdom of Almonds, by Ariel Kaplan
Genre: Historical Fantasy
Release Date: March 31, 2026
Why I want to read it: I was blown away by the first two books in Ariel Kaplan's The Mirror Realm Cycle. I can't wait for the finale!
Yesteryear, by Caro Claire Burke
Genre: Thriller
Release Date: April 7, 2026
Why I want to read it: I've been casually following the "tradwife" debate (mostly via YouTube videos), and I'm interested to see what Caro Claire Burke has to say about it. I'm currently seventeenth on the waiting list for this book at my library, though, so who knows if I'll be able to read it before spring is over.
Burn the Sea, by Mona Tewari
Genre: Historical Fantasy
Release Date: April 21, 2026
Why I want to read it: I found this title through Bindery Books and it sounds amazing!
Not What We Pictured, by Becca Kinzer
Genre: Romance
Release Date: April 21, 2026
Why I want to read it: It's pretty much a given that I'll read whatever Becca Kinzer puts out there. She is one of the few romance authors I actually like.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Danyelle!
DeleteYou crushed your winter TBR! Your spring TBR looks splendid, i wish you luck!
ReplyDeleteYes indeed! You know how I feel about a good goal list–it must be vanquished! 😁
DeleteGreat job with your winter TBR! Yesteryear was on my list this week as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by earlier.
Thank you! Hopefully we both enjoy Yesteryear!
DeleteYou did well with your winter list. Good luck with this new spring list!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI just added Yesteryear to my WTR from another Top Ten list
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your #TTT
It sounds so interesting, doesn't it?! I wasn't exactly sure what genre it was when I was making the post, but I went with thriller.
DeleteYou did great with your winter TBR! Hope you have the same luck with your spring TBR.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
Thank you!
DeleteI liked With the Fire on High. It has a lot of positive messages for teen girls. // Will you see the Project Hail Mary movie now that you've read the book. Both are so good.
ReplyDeleteThat's good to know! I'm excited to read it.
DeleteI'm not sure if I'll watch the movie; I saw the trailer for it, which was what made me want to read the book in the first place, and now that I've read it I don't really have a desire to watch the movie anymore lol. So maybe at some point, but I'm not going to make it a priority.
I'm hope to read Fawcett's book at some point, for now it sits on my TBR. I hope you enjoy reading all of these when you get the chance!
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT for the week: https://readbakecreate.com/spring-2026-tbr-ten-books-i-hope-to-read/
Thank you! I've had it on hold at the library for so long–but it's slower getting closer to me! I think I'm only third or fourth in line now. I can't wait to read it!
DeleteYou did great with your winter list! I am super excited for Not What We Pictured. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for it too! I just checked and my library already has it on order, so I was actually able to place a hold for it. I hope I can read it before spring is over LOL!
DeleteWow, you did well with your winter TBR!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy Agnes Aubert's Mystical Cat Shelter -- I had a lot of fun with it.
I take my TBRs very seriously LOL! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed Agnes Aubert–I'm so excited to read it!
DeleteI'm impressed at how well you did on your winter TBR! Hopefully, you'll have similar success with your spring one. I hope you enjoy all these.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
Thank you! I'm excited about this list–the only tricky part will be getting the new releases from my library!
DeleteYou did well on your winter TBR. I still need to read Project Hail Mary. On your new list, I got to go with Hot Coco on Thursday or any day of the week, lol.
ReplyDeleteSunday is usually my hot chocolate day, but I agree–it's good any day of the week!
