Winter is a time of year when I tend to get a lot of reading done due to how snowy and cold it can be outside.
Here are ten books coming out this winter that I’m looking forward to checking out. If no release date is included, that means that title is already available to buy or hopefully even borrow from your local library if you have one!
1. Cabin: Off the Grid Adventures with a Clueless Craftsman by Patrick Hutchinson
Why I’m Interested: I’m too much of a city person to ever want to live off grid in the middle of nowhere, but I do enjoy reading about such things! (See also: that old fable about the city mouse and country mouse who take turns visiting each other and realize that not all mice like to live in the same sorts of places!)
2. A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna
Release Date: December 24
Why I’m Interested: The plot sounds cozy and sweet.
3. Heavenly Tyrant (Iron Widow, #2) by Xiran Jay Zhao
Release Date: December 24
Why I’m Interested: The first book in this series has been on my TBR list forever. Maybe the sequel coming out will convince me to finally read it?
4. Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix
Release Date: January 14
Why I’m Interested: Mr. Hendrix writes such attention-grabbing books that I always keep an eye out for what he’s come up with next.
5 .Something Like Fate: A Novel by Amy Lea
Release Date: February 4
Why I’m Interested: This looks like a cute romance.
6. Raised By Ghosts by Briana Loewinsohn
Release Date: February 4
Why I’m Interested: The blurb made it sound like a thoughtful graphic novel about dealing with loneliness.
7. Life Hacks for a Little Alien by Alice Franklin
Release Date: February 11
Why I’m Interested: The fabulous title. How could I not want to read something this playful?
8. Emily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales (Emily Wilde, #3) by Heather Fawcett
Release Date: February 11
Why I’m Interested: Just like with answer #3, this is a series I’ve been meaning to read for a while now and am hoping to find the time for soon.
9. Three Days in June by Anne Tyler
Release Date: February 11
Why I’m Interested: We all go through hard times in life eventually. What interested me about this tale is how many different conflicts and difficulties the protagonist had to deal with at once. It’s difficult when that happens, but I have hope that she’ll get through all of them.
10. I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I’m Trapped in a Rom-Com (Cosmic Chaos, #1) by Kimberly Lemming (black
Release Date: February 18
Why I’m Interested: Cheeky, self-aware titles are the best, and this one looks like it will be great fun to read.
I have seen several mentions about Emily Wilde’s… My daughter loved the first book (second book?) Clearly I haven’t done any research on them. Happy reading.
My Winter Reading list is largely based on the challenges I’ve set for myself, book club selections, and books I have on hold with Libby. My Winter Reading list
You have a lovely mix here. Three Days in June and Something Like Fate both intrigue me. I hope you enjoy all these books when you get to them.
Heavenly Tyrant does have a really stunning cover!
OMG I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I’m Trapped in a Rom-Com is an amazing title. Now I want to read it. Magical Innkeeping’s date keeps moving here, I’ve given up on tracking it, but hopefully I can get to it next year.
Great list! I’ll definitely be checking out the second Emily Wilde book, as I just finished the first one earlier this month and loved it! Also, I really enjoy Anne Tyler’s books, so I’m looking forward to picking up Three Days in June.
Three Days in June and I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I’m Trapped in a Rom-Com both sound wonderful. I’m going to add them to my list. Enjoy your books.
I’m looking forward to A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping too and I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I’m Trapped in a Rom-Com sounds absolutely hilarious, definitely adding to my TBR 🙂
These look interesting! I hope you enjoy them all!
I have a copy of Three Days in June and completely forgot to add it to my list! The US cover is much nicer that the UK one.
I see we have Anne Tyler in common. Happy winter reading! ❄️📚
Great list! I hope you enjoying reading them! Happy Tuesday!
Emily Wilde is fun! You should start with #1 though…
My TTT: https://cathysreadingbonanza.wordpress.com/2024/12/17/top-ten-tuesday-my-winter-2024-2025-to-read-list/
I’m so excited for Emily Wilde! And the Magical Inkeeping one looks super cute too. I’m all about those cozy fantasies right now. 🙂
I’m also excited for the Sangu Mandanna but I think it’s been pushed back for me and I have to wait until March or April. But it’ll be an auto buy whenever it is released.
I added Cabin right away to mt TBR, thanks for mentioning it!
OOoh nice list! I STILL need to start the Emily Wilde books! I keep adding them to my TBR pile as I’ve got a good feeling about them! Lol. Hope you enjoy all of these this winter!
Thanks for visiting my TTT!
Good luck! I’m looking forward to Emily Wilde #3 too!
I am so excited for the next Emily Wilde book!! I hope you enjoy all of these.
You have a lot of interesting picks I’ve never seen that I’m curious about! I’m thinking about picking up I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I’m Trapped in a Rom-Com, too. That title is fun! Great list and thanks for visiting my TTT!
There are several on here that look really good. A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping looks endearing. I should really read some of these since I love cute witch shows and movies.
Ohh, I’m definitely looking for Cabin!
I loved the other series by Kimberly Lemming, so this one is easy to add to my TBR. I also had to add Witchcraft for Wayward Girls as well. I love all the books in the Emily Wilde series so far, and I can’t wait for the newest book to come out! I got a copy of Iron Widow shortly after it came out, but the author has revealed herself to be quite hateful and antisemitic, so I unhauled it right away. But I hope you enjoy these when you get to read them.
Emily Wilde is everywhere this week! I haven’t started the series but it’s nice to see everyone so excited for the next installment. I know A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping is also anticipated, and I think the release date kept being pushed, but both these look quite cozy! I am also curious about Xiran Jay Zhao’s writing.
Enjooooy!
