What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher 7/12/22- I am LOVING this author’s horror novels.
The book I’m most looking forward to in 2022 is Rachel Reid’s THE LONG GAME, the sixth and final book in her Game Changers series of m/m hockey romances and the one that will give Shane & Ilya (MCs of HEATED RIVALRY) their HEA. It is currently scheduled for April 26, 2022.
I’m also looking forward to Serena Bell’s WILDER WITH YOU, the next book in her Wilder Adventures series. This one features a widower who gets into a fake relationship with his late wife’s friend (who also happens to be the wedding planner planning his brother’s wedding). It’s scheduled for February 15, 2022.
Also, for any other Serena Bell fans out there, her previously-published but out-of-print books DO OVER, HEAD OVER HEELS, and SLEEPOVER are being re-released with new covers on March 1, March 15, and March 29 respectively.
I’m halfway through the Game Changers series. I need to get caught up before this release!
Nettle & Bone is on my list too, and I apparently need to catch up before reading The Company of Fiends.
Give me all the T. Kingfisher books in 2022.
Like @DDD, I’m looking forward to the next book by Rachel Reid. I’m also eager to read the next Others book by Anne Bishop. And the next Patricia Briggs book and ….
I’m reading the next Others book right now and so far I’m enjoying. There is just something about this world that I really love.
Glad to hear that you are enjoying it! You may color me envious.
Thanks for the shout-out. I appreciate it!
