[@Kittyzero13426]

I'm excited for Onyx Storm!!

[@azaria424]

My most anticipated releases would be Onyx Storm, Immortal, The Rebel Witch, Say You’ll Remember Me, Fearless, Love Arranged, The Knight and the Moth, It’s a Love Story, Lightlark 4-5, The Ballad of Falling Dragons

[@KcannyTBO]

I CANNOT wait for Bury our Bones in the Midnight Soil 😍I have to distract myself cause it's still a good few months away. I've added a few of the ones you mentioned too, really intrigued by the new R.F. Kwan 👀

[@magdalena06717]

I'm most excited for The Thrashers by Julie Soto. Since Julie announced that this book is inspired by her love for the Veronica Mars tv show, my inner Veronica Mars fangirl is squealing like crazy at that and I cannot wait till I get to read it

[@bananatos8929]

So my anticipated releases for 2025, are, 1. Immortal by Sue Lynn Tan (I just got my copy in the mail yesterday. Can't wait to start reading it!) 2. Never, Ever After by Sue Lynn Tan (book one of a Cinderella inspired romance/fantasy series. Its launch date is September 30th, but it's already available for pre-order!) 3. Under The Oak Tree volume 2 (the novel) 4. The final Percy Jackson Senior Year Adventures book. That's all I have for now 😊

[@MelReads]

waiiiit, i haven’t seen never ever after! let me look this up cause it sounds cool🏃🏻‍♀️

[@bananatos8929]

@ omg please do!! When I tell you I pre-ordered it on Barnes and Noble so fast 😂 It does sound cool and based on the description, it sounds like it (and the rest of the series- however many books it might be) may be a bit on the darker side? Which has peaked my interest big time. Regardless, I'm so excited to add another Sue Lynn Tan book to my collection. I'd love to hear your thoughts if you preorder it as well!!

[@Ms.HGL.]
