There's nothing like word of a new book by your favorite author. The liminal state between the announcement of a new book and when it finally comes out is one of the most intoxicating (and I admit, infuriating) parts of being a reader; as someone who has been doing it for far too long, I recommend re-reading previous books by the author to keep from getting antsy (while being just antsy enough).
It's with that in mind that we here at Popverse have made a comprehensive list of all the upcoming books we're excited for - this list is new books in the world of fantasy, sci-fi, romance, political thrillers, horrors, and also those murky areas we don't have a name for (and laugh at when a local bookstore shelves it in what we see as the wrong place).
In our very near future, we have new books to look forward to from Stephen King, Cassandra Clare, V.E. Schwab, Suzanne Collins, Bob the Drag Queen, and more. Here's everything on our radar - tell us in the comments what you think we should add.
