I can’t wait to read “Playing With Fire!” When does your book come out Rachel? Will you eventually have an audio version of it?
I am excited to read Paula Brackston's new novel, The Haunting of Hecate Cavendish. I love her writing style and storytelling.
I am really excited about of few of these! I can't wait to get my hands on the new Erik Larson book.

So true!When I try to log a book in the morning it still shows yesterday's date because Goodreads is based on American time
Christopher Ruocchio has his next book in the Sun Eater series coming out 4/2 - Disquiet Gods. I can’t recommend this series enough for Sci-Fi and/or Fantasy fans. Very well written
I would like to readThe Princess of Las Vegas.

good.
I’m literally so excited for crane among wolves. The cover is just so cute so I know it’ll be good 🙏

I WOULD LIKE TO READ TOO.

Oh they didn't miss them — they skipped them because they were either 'too white', 'too male', or 'not diverse enough'. In other words, purposefully excluded for largely racist reasons.

That is right.

Maybe it is good.
The only book (audiobook actually) I have on pre-order as of this moment is "The Instruments of Darkness" by John Connolly.
Loved the tongue twister of funny story… I mean could Daphne really fall in love with her ex-fiancés fiancés ex-fiancé?
Yes the extra fiancé makes it funnier. I think we can guess who the love birds are…
Lest GR members forget, GR is owned by Amazon. Books pushed by GR often have little to do with anything but generating sales for Amazon. At times a decent book makes these lists, but GR cares little for quality and much more for quantity. Quantity of sales, that is.
So many good books!! I found myself adding at least every other book on this list to my to read shelf. I love wheb I have so many new books to look forward to - especially when their release dates are right around the corner!

Amy Harmon books are the best, such a prolific author
The House on Biscayne Bay, The Familiar and The Demon of Unrest are my go-to’s.
How to Be Old: Lessons in Living Boldly from the Accidental Icon by Lyn Slater is a non-fiction book that belongs on the list. College social work professor becomes a successful fashion blogger and Instagram influencer in her 60s. Her goal is to be a writer. She writes this book to meet the goal and prepare for what comes next.
I'm very excited about Older by Jennifer Hartmann, soon to be released. And Beautiful Villain by Rebecca Kenney.
I know that it’s not something for everyone but on Booktok it’s really anticipated :)

Literally everything is US based. Don't like it? Make a monopoly and make your own!
Annie Bot was delightful. It's very thoughtful without being heavy handed. It's not a perfect book by any means, but well worth reading.
Exactly who are the "readers" who chose these books as most anticipated? Maybe one or two books on this list look like I might like them. But it's a stretch.

I have been wondering that too.
Girls to the Front. Can't wait to read Kathleen Hanna's bio. And then go see THE riot grrls themselves, bikini kill.

Susan wrote: "Looking forward to reading You Like it Darker."
Me too. I love King's short stories and novels.
What about Hampton Sides' new book "The Wide, Wide Sea: Imperial Ambition, First Contact and the Fateful Final Voyage of Captain James Cook"? This one is at the top of my list!
Diavola by Jennifer Marie Thorne is one of my favorite spring releases of this year! It's spooky, scary, and strangely hopeful at the same time!

There's always one *eye roll*

Oh. I suspect there are considerably more than one, and those multitudes probably have a beef with such lists for more than a few valid reasons.

Goodreads rarely features those, but I remember seeing an article from Goodreads on that.

Is this another list based on race and not the quality of books?

whats it about I don't understand. i read cujo. but it don't seem alike. somewhere it said tat it was a sequal

I would have thought a large proportion of their users live in the Southern Hemisphere? I think it would at least be courteous of them to mention that it isn't spring for everyone.
Louisiana Hydra
Louisiana Hydra is certainly getting a lot of favourable press. Maybe this is a good addition to the Thriller list...
The Colorado Kid
This book is so good! I would recommend it to anyone who likes a good mystery novel that they can finish in one or two sittings
Looking forward to Demon of Unrest and Cemetery of Untold Stories.
A book not on this list that I'm also looking forward to is Clear by Carys Davies:
Minister dispatched to a remote island off of Scotland to “clear” the last remaining inhabitant, who has no intention of leaving

That's been out 18 years. You do realize that...right?

That logic is outdated. The world has no barriers - it's the internet, it's everywhere. It's more likely that the writer has no idea that the entire world isn't centred around the US or that the entire world isn't on the same season as the US.
Until August, Gabriel Garcia Marquez
