I am still looking forward to reading all of the books I mentioned for Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the Second Half of 2026, and now these autumn titles can be added to the list as well. The first two have already been released.
Here’s hoping all of you have found some real gems, too!

1.The Birthing Tree by Amanda Peters
Thank you to Pam @ Read Bake Create for alerting me to this title.
Why I’m Interested: My mother used a midwife for her first two births. I like stories about this topic.

2. Hollywood, Ending by John Green
Why I’m Interested: Honestly, being famous sounds tiring. I’m especially interested in how such a thing affects people’s romantic lives as I can’t imagine it makes it easy to date or to stay married.

3. As You Wake, Break the Shell by Becky Chambers
Publication Date: October 13
Why I’m Interested: Ms. Chambers is on my list of must-read authors. This sci-fi romance duology sounds lovely!
Nice list. Have a good week and a good day. Here is my TTT. https://dmhoisington.wordpress.com/2026/09/22/top-ten-tuesday-42-autumn-tbr-list/
Thank you, Danyelle. 🙂
I hope you enjoy these books. I’m highly looking forward to reading Hollywood, Ending. John Green will forever be one of my favorite authors.
Thank you. Yes, he’s great!
Enjoy!

These all look good! I hope you enjoy your autumn reading!

Thank you.
I often wonder about celebrity dating, too — how much is real and how much is a deliberate attempt at managing PR?
That is my question, too! It feels contrived to me, but I could be totally wrong there.
I have had The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet on my Kindle forever and still haven’t read it. One of these days, I should.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
I hope you like it. I keep waiting for my local library to actually order it, but they have not yet. 🙂
Until a few weeks ago, I didn’t know John Green was releasing something new. Seems as if I may need to read a bit more about this one! 🙂 Thanks for sharing and for visiting my list; hope you enjoy these all.
You’re welcome. Happy reading!
I started If You Wake, Break the Shell in ARC, but I was too slow and lost access, gah. I’m eager for that one too!
I hope your second try is more successful.
Hmm, I didn’t even think about looking back at my most anticipated books for this quarter, LOL! I hope you enjoy these when you get a chance to read them.
Thanks. 🙂
Oh, I didn’t know John Green is publishing a new novel. How cool. I hope you’ll enjoy all of these! 🙂
Thank you!
As You Wake, Break the Shell sounds lovely indeed. Hope you’ll love all of these!
Thank you. 🙂
I hope you are able to get to and enjoy these books. I love the cover of As You Wake, Break the Shell. It draws the eye.
Thank you. Yes, it’s beautiful!
I’ve seen As You Wake, Break the Shell on a lot of lists this week!
Same here!
The Birthing Tree sounds interersting. I have enjoyed the John Green books I’ve read to date, so that one is a good maybe.
Cool. Yeah, it’s not normally a topic I’d read about, but John has written some great stuff. So I’m hoping he has a great spin on it.
These look good! I’m also really interested in Chambers’ new book.
Thanks! 🙂
Happy reading with these and wise to just add what you really have a hope of reading.
Than you. 🙂
I’m glad I could put a book on your radar that piqued your interest. I hope you enjoy reading it.
Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier.
You’re welcome!
I’m also looking forward to Hollywood, Ending. John Green was one of my favorite authors when I was younger, so I’m excited to read an adult book from him!
I’ve liked his work for a long time, too!
Yay, for Becky Chambers!! I also want to read the John Green book!
Glad to hear it!
Nice list! Enjoy your books!
Thanks. 🙂
I loved The Berry Pickers so I will definitely be reading The Birthing Tree.
Yay!
I admire you for not feeling the need to add another ten books to your fall reading plans after posting most anticipated releases for second half of 2026! I borrowed a little more than half from my most anticipated releases, and still ended up with 11 instead of 10. haha
Heh, thank you. Enjoy your reads.
Becky Chambers is an author I’d like to try! Hope you enjoy all on your fall TBR!
She’s amazing! Thank you.
Our niece is married to a famous baseball player, and it looks exhausting to me. Plus, think of all the time you’d have to spend watching baseball. Nope!
Yes, that sounds quite exhausting. I hope she has a nice life. 🙂
Great additions!
Thanks for sharing your #TTT
You’re welcome.
I’m definitely looking forward to more from Becky Chambers and John Green.
Yay!
I’m also looking forward to Becky Chambers’ new book! I hope you enjoy your first foray into her books!
Thank you. 🙂
My three pregnancies were all high-risk (we adopted our fourth), so there was no chance of me giving birth anywhere but in a hospital with advanced technology readily available, BUT I’m also fascinated by midwivery. I enjoy reading about it, too. I’ll have to check out THE BIRTHING TREE. I hope you enjoy all these!
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

I’m glad you had such good medical care, Susan. Pregnancy and birth can be so dangerous for everyone involved.
A home birth or out of hospital birth isn’t something I’d ever choose for myself either. I simply like reading about them on occasion. 🙂
I probably would have put Hollywood, Ending on my list but there are so many people in front of me on the hold list that I have no idea when I’ll get to read it!
I hope it’s sooner than you think! The waitlist for it is really long at my library, too.
I want to read Hollywood, Ending too. I hope it’s good.
Happy reading!
These three books all sound intriguing!
Thank you. 🙂
I’m really looking forward to Chambers’ newest! I’ve seen that book on a lot of lists this week.
Yay! Yes, it was everywhere last week.
I’m on the list at the library for The Birthing Tree. I really enjoyed her debut book, The Berry Pickers. I hope you enjoy these autumn/fall books on your TBR, Lydia.
Thank you. Happy reading to you as well.
Happy autumn/fall reading! 🎃🍂🧡
Thank you!
Hollywood, Ending by John Green caught my attention, too! I’m probably going to pick up an audiobook copy eventually.
That sounds like a good idea. 🙂
