Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl
Here are some of the books I’m looking forward to this spring. If no publication date is listed for a book, that means it has already been released earlier this month!
1. Gallant by V.E. Schwab
Why I Want to Read It: Ms. Schwab is a good storyteller.
2. Okoye to the People: A Black Panther Novel by Ibi Zoboi
Why I Want to Read It: I haven’t read much Chinese science fiction and would like to change that.
4. Wild and Wicked Things by Fran Dorricott
Why I Want to Read It: I wasn’t immediately sure which classic novel this retelling was about. When combined with how many different themes were mentioned in the blurb, I was intrigued! Yes, I’m being a little vague with this reply on purpose. It’s better if you figure out certain things for yourselves.
5. Four Aunties and a Wedding (Aunties, #2) by Jesse Q. Sutanto
Why I Want to Read It: The first book in this series is still on my TBR. Maybe knowing that the sequel will be released soon will convince me to begin this series?
6. Gone Dark by Amanda Panitch
Why I Want to Read It: The comparison to the classic young adult novel “Hatchet” in the blurb piqued my interest.
7. Mutinous Women: How French Convicts Became Founding Mothers of the Gulf Coast by Joan DeJean
Why I Want to Read It: This is a piece of American history I know nothing about!
8.History Comics: The Stonewall Riots: Making a Stand for LGBTQ Rights by Archie Bongiovanni
Why I Want to Read It: I would have loved to read this when I was a teenager. Luckily, adults can still read young adult books.
9. The Foundling by Ann Leary
Why I Want to Read It: I am well-versed on the history of how orphaned, abandoned, and unwanted children were treated, especially if they were unlucky enough to be sent to an orphanage or workhouse. It will be interesting to see how knowledgeable the author is on this subject. My hope is that she will do an excellent job exploring this topic from many different angles.
10. Private Label by Kelly Yang
Why I Want to Read It: Spring is the perfect time to read a romance novel.
This is the second time this week I’ve seen Spring- that one intrigues me for sure. I love good anthologies. The Foundling looks good too. And ooh Black PAnther?
There are so many amazing books coming out this spring! I hope you enjoy all three of those titles.
I want to read more non-US science fiction, too. The Way Spring Arrives sounds like a great pick for that!

May you enjoy it!
I picked up Aunties #1 the other day, so that one’s on my TBR. I’m intrigued about Wild and Wicked Things too.
I hope you like them both!
I love that the books on your spring TBR are so diverse. I’ve added some of these to my own TBR. Thanks for putting them on my radar and for stopping by my blog.
Thank you and you’re welcome. I hope you enjoy whichever books on my list caught your attention.
Wild and Wicked Things is really slow burn but atmospheric. Gallant and Four Aunties and a Wedding are on my list too this week.
Ooh, good to know! I hope you like Gallant and Four Aunties and a Wedding.
Happy reading! All of these look great.
Thank you!
I’m currently reading Wild and Wicked Things. I’m not very far in though. I can’t wait to read Gallant! I hope you enjoy all of these.
Thank you. I hope you’re enjoying Wild and Wicked Things.
Hope you’ll enjoy all of these! I’m excited about Gallant too and Ms Schwab is indeed such an amazing storyteller!
Thank you very much!
Great list! Wild and Wicked Things was one of my recent reads and it was really good!
Thank you. I’m glad to hear that.
I didn’t know there was a Black Panther novel – will have to check it out. Hope you enjoy these books when you get to them 🙂
Thank you. I hope you enjoy that Black Panther novel if you read it.
I really enjoyed the stories in The Way Spring Arrives, I hope you do too! I’m really curious about The Foundling and Mutinous Women. I hope you enjoy all of these! 🙂
That’s great to hear! I hope you like The Foundling and Mutinous Women.
I had never heard of Wild and Wicked Things, but it’s gone straight on my TBR–thank you!
You’re welcome. Happy reading!
I still have that first ‘auntie’ book on my shelf unread. While I think the sequel looks fun and cute, suppose I should really give book one a chance before I’d add book two to the shelf. 😉 Thanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland this week! Appreciate that.
You’re welcome. I’m glad I’m not the only one who hasn’t read the Auntie books yet. 🙂
Hope you enjoy all of these!
Thank you!
I hope you enjoy reading these when you get the opportunity!
Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier.

You’re welcome. Thank you for your kind words.
These all look like great reads. Happy reading!
Thank you!
Mutinous Women sounds great. I love history and I haven’t heard of these women.
I hope you enjoy reading about them. Isn’t it neat to discover historical events you hadn’t heard of before?
I love this list for its variety. I haven’t seen these books anywhere else. I hope you find some really good ones and dig in. Thanks for visiting my blog.
You’re welcome. Thank you for stopping by and for your kind words! I sure try to pick a variety of books that I don’t think will be used too much elsewhere. 🙂
I really need to read VE Schwab at some point!
Thanks for stopping by my TTT earlier!
You’re welcome. I hope you like Schwab’s work if or when you decide to read it.
I’m desperate to read Four Aunties and a Wedding! I wanted to get it for mother’s day, but realised that it doesn’t come out in paperback till much later ?
Goodness, why do publishers do that? 🙂 I hope you’ll get your paperback copy of it soon.
I’ve seen a lot of people talk about Wild and Wicked Things. It sounds really good. I hope you get to is soon.
Thank you! Fingers crossed.
Four Aunties and a Wedding is a great title! I hope you enjoy each book on your list!
Thank you very much!
Dial A for Auntie is on my TBR for this year. I have high hopes for it. I hope you enjoy the sequel and all these!
Thank you. I hope you like the Dial A for Aunties series, too.
Great list! I’m waiting on my copy of Gallant to arrive and I’m so excited to read it cos I’ve heard great things so far. I hope you enjoy all these reads ?
Thank you. I hope you like Gallant!
