The new year is around the corner so this is the perfect opportunity to put a bookmark on all the most exciting upcoming book releases. Here are the most anticipated book releases of 2022…

A new year means new books to be released and we couldn’t be more excited! Ever since the pandemic hit it seemed like a lot of works got put on hold and we saw not enough new book releases in the last two years… But things are finally starting to pick up again in the book world because the number of exciting new releases is growing…
It definitely looks like in 2022 there will not be a shortage of exciting new book releases and sequels to books we’ve all been dying to read. And while so many releases for the new year are yet to be announced or even made official, the ones we can see are super exciting.
Included in this year’s most anticipated list is the sequel to House of Earth and Blood (if you haven’t read book 1, what are you waiting for?!) which could possibly be 2022’s most exciting release! But they’re literally a ton of other book releases that’ve got my palms itching because I need them in my hands right now (and I’m sure we can all relate to that feeling!). We also have new books coming out by V.E. Schwab (!) and Holly Black and just so many other authors!
So if you’re excited to see the best of what 2022 has in store for us in terms of books, just keep reading! This post is all about the most anticipated upcoming book releases of 2022.
