  1. I haven’t come across any of these but they all look intriguing! I’ve enjoyed the books by Susan Mallery that I’ve read in the past so that one is automatically going on my list and now I need to go look up the others.

  2. I love the tagline “every ending has a beginning.” ❤

    I’m looking forward to the Oracle of Maracoor. It’s the second book in a The Wicked Years spin-off series. 😊

  3. The only one I have on my list is Well Traveled. I have a lot more urban fantasy and scifi and mystery in my top ones. Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs, Faith Hunter, William Kent Krueger, Allen Eskens, Nalini Singh, Robert Dugoni. Oh and Ali Hazelwood. August 23 is jam packed with releases.

  4. It Starts With Us is one of my most highly anticipated books on the year. Ever since It Ends With Us I have hoped for more of Atlas’s story. I have such high hopes for that one!

  5. These all look SO good! You have lots of amazing reads to look forward to!
    Thank you for sharing your list. Happy reading!

  6. I am still putting together my list, but four of these are one it. I like the looks of these. Enjoy them all, Wendy.

  7. Nice mix, Wendy. I’m a sucker for Christmas themed books so I’ll look out for Susan Mallery’s book.

  8. What a great list Wendy! I see several here that are on my reading list for the rest of 2022 as well. I have not seen as many holiday reads for 2022 this year when compared to 2020 and 2021. Enjoy all of these!

  9. What a great list of books! I love the sound of Just Like Magic, Mad Honey, Home Sweet Christmas, and The Key to My Heart. Thank you for sharing and for the great recommendations! I know it’s summer but I’m super excited for fall and winter!

  10. I’m not really a seasonal reader per se but I do like books that reflect the season occasionally. Especially in the fall and winter. These look like a nice mix for those seasons! 🙂

    • Thank you, Lydia. I think we all read for different reasons, and I like to be cheered up and feel optimistic. Others like to be scared, and others like to figure out mysteries. And some like a bit of everything.

    I was so close to adding Just Like Magic, I really loved the author’s previous books. And Ship Wrecked looks good to me.
