It might be hard to believe, but this week marks the end of the first third of 2026. I know it’s way more common to break down the year into quarters, but there’s something about thirds that is satisfying and/or scary to think about. One-third of the year is done, with two-thirds left to go. It’s the perfect time to look at what your reading life has been like this year and think about all that’s to come.
It’s the thick of new release season in publishing land, so there’s plenty to get excited about this week. We’ve got new releases from beloved authors, alongside new releases from debuting authors. There’s fantasy alongside realistic fiction, as well as several great new romances hitting shelves. We’ve also got another entry into the “dual releases” category that’s been on the rise over the past year–you can choose whether you pick that book up in hardcover or in paperback.
And for a fun theme this week? Book titles featuring “star” in its multiple meanings.
