Hey bookworm friends! Today’s a very rainy day and the icy sidewalks are melting (Yess!) Mentally and emotionally, I’m over Winter, so let’s distract ourselves with thoughts of shiny new books. Even though Spring technically begins on the 20th of March in the northern hemisphere, I’m including new releases from March to May in this list.

Let’s chat in the comments!
Which Spring releases are you most excited for? Or, have any of these captured your attention?
I’m really interested to see what people think of The Knight and the Moth – as that’s going to help me decide whether I want to read it!
That’s super fair, there are some books like that for me too where I wait to see what the general consensus is š I loved her first duology so I hope to pick it up sooner rather than later.
Spring has so many good sounding books coming out. I’m very curious about Space Brooms and Starving Saints!
I agree, there are tons of shiny new books I’ve got my eye on! & I hope you like those if you give them a try š
A few of these I’ve heard of, others are new to me – but so many amazing covers!
Right? I do think all the covers are great and they stood out to me too š !!
I majorly cannot wait for The Moth & The Knight. It sounds incredible šš I’m pretty curious about The Starving Saints too and Murder By Memory. I’d love to read the book about Helen but need to check out the Clytemnestraās one first. I definitely plan to though.
A couple of the others have caught my eye, the space type ones leaving me curious to hear more about them. I’m especially intrigued by A Song Of Legends Lost though. It sounds fantastic š
Wonderful list. I hope you enjoy all of these and will watch out for your thoughts on them.
Me too, and I know I like the author’s writing so it bodes well! Yes you definitely need to read the Clytemnestra first even though you know the overall story already, but I feel like you need the small details of this specific retelling to fully appreciate every subtlety. Can’t wait for you to read it!
I’m glad you find a bunch of these titles intriguing as well š
Thanks, I’m definitely better at making lists than at reading them all but I will definitely share my thoughts on any I get to š I feel like I still haven’t even gotten to the books from my first anticipated list I ever made in 2022 š¤«
I’m *so* excited for The Knight and the Moth! The Gods Time Forgot also looks amazing and I’m surprised that I haven’t seen it mentioned around the blogosphere until now cos it looks like it would be a popular title (I’m totally judging the book by its cover here, lol)! I hope you enjoy all of these or whichever ones you get to this spring. Happy reading š
Yaay I’m so glad that one seems to be on so many people’s anticipated releases list! Aha I know what you mean, that cover looks like it should draw a massive crowd so I hope it’s amazing and that it gets a lot of eyes on it!! Thanks, Dini š !
