You all might remember that I struggle with these seasonal TBR posts because I’m a mood reader who relies on my local library for most of what I read. Therefore, there’s not a whole lot of planning ahead for me unless we’re talking about my all-time favourite authors or something.
So guess who came up with seven answers for this prompt? Maybe next time I’ll be able to come up with the full ten!
All the Water in the World by Eiran Caffell
Publication Date: Today!
Why I’m Interested: I loved Station Eleven and hope this is just as poignant and hopeful.
The Other March Sisters by Linda Epstein
Publication Date: February 25
Why I’m Interested: Little Women is such a classic, but I wondered how certain scenes would have looked from perspectives other than Jo’s as well as what was going on the other sisters’ lives that maybe she didn’t know about. Now we’ll get to find out.
Once Was Willem by M.R. Carey
Publication Date: March 4
Why I’m Interested: Carey is on my short list of must-read authors. At first I thought the protagonist was a vampire, but he may be something else instead. Either way, count me in.
Dream Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Publication Date: March 4
Why I’m Interested: Ngozi Adichie is also on my short list of must-read authors! I’m excited to read something new from her as I don’t think she’s written much fiction (if any?) before.
Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection by John Green
Publication Date: March 18
Why I’m Interested: Tuberculosis is a sad but intriguing subject. I like learning more about it, especially since it remains a threat to human health to this day. May we someday have much better medications to treat it.
When the Moon Hits Your Eye by John Scalzi
Publication Date: March 25
Why I’m Interested: Scalzi has such creative ideas. Sometimes I love his work and other times they’re not quite what I’m looking for, but I do give him another shot with every new book either way.
Don’t Sleep with the Dead by Nghi Vo
Publication Date: April 8
Why I’m Interested: This is a bit of a risky pick for me because I loathed The Great Gatsby when it was assigned to us to read in a high school English class and have refused to read anything else from Fitzgerald in the years since then. Can a retelling change my mind, or will this be a rapid DNF? Only time will tell..
I’m was really looking forward to Once Was Willem. It sounds like it has a lot of potential.
Fingers crossed it will be good!
I’m interested in the Scalzi as well! The TB book is surprising me with its frequency today.
I was surprised by that, too. Hope you like Scalzi’s book.
I hope you’re able to get to all the books on your list. Happy reading!
Thank you!
Once Was Willem sounds intriguing!
🙂
I’ve seen Dream Count on so many lists today. I hope you enjoy these!
Thank you!
Ooh, I had no idea Vo was coming out with another book but I too am not a fan of Gatsby but I love Vo’s writing so much… I’m torn. I might have to add that to my TBR just to keep it on my radar anyway! 🤣 I saw All the Water in the World earlier today and forgot to add it to my TBR but I’m off to do that now. I hope you enjoy all of these reads, Lydia!
Thank you, Dini. Happy reading.
Ooo! That March Sisters book is one I’ll have to read about! Seems like it could be a really interesting and compelling novel. 🙂 Hope you enjoy all of the 2025 titles you’re interested in – and thanks for visiting my list today!
You’re welcome. Hope you like the March sisters book.
I think my life would be easier if I stopped looking up new books all the time and just read the ones I already have! I’ll probably be grabbing John Green’s Tuberculosis book on audio at some point. I enjoy his non-fiction more than his fiction, and I’m hoping he’s going to narrate it himself.
Fingers crossed he does!
And I totally get that. Haha.
I’m also looking forward to Scalzi’s newest! He has some really interesting ideas.
For sure. 🙂
Scalzi is on a lot of lists this week too, I hope it’s a good one!! Thanks for dropping by my post!
You’re welcome. Happy reading!
I added The Other March Sisters and When The Moon Hits Your Eye to my TBR.
Nice!
I’m a mood reader, too, so I understand. You came up with a good list. I hope you get to read and enjoy your books.
Thank you!
The Other March Sisters sounds amazing! I’m adding it to my TBR, I love Little Women so much, so now I’ll have to read this one 🙂
If you’d like to visit, here’s my TTT: https://thebooklorefairy.blogspot.com/2025/01/top-ten-tuesday-most-anticipated-books-releasing-in-the-first-half-of-2025.html
Awesome! May you enjoy it.
I’ve never read Little Women (although I would like to one day) but I’ve seen three adaptations of it and enjoyed them all so I’m definitely going to have to look into The Other March Sisters. I haven’t read anything by M.R. Carey yet (I’m hoping to check out The Girl With All The Gifts soon) but I’m very intrigued by their upcoming book too. I think the fact that the blurb doesn’t reveal too much leaves you wanting to know more. This is an interesting list of books and I hope you enjoy all of them. Good luck with The Gatsby one too, I’ll keep my fingers crossed that it’ll pleasantly surprise you 🤞
You’re welcome. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you like The Other March Sisters and Little Women.
Thank you.
I do love the cover of Don’t Sleep with the Dead. Hope you’ll love all of these!
Thank you. 🙂
I’ll keep an eye on the new Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie book. I’ve read Amerikanah by this author and I was underwhelmed unfortunately. Maybe my expectations were too high and different.
I’m rooting for you. No worries if you don’t like her new book. I struggled with Amerikanah, too.
I’m a bit back and forth on Nghi Vo’s new book — I didn’t love The Chosen and the Beautiful, but maybe I should give that world another chance…
Hope you enjoy all of these, anyway!
Thank you. Good luck with your decision.
Great list! I hope you enjoy them when you get to read them. Happy Tuesday!
Thanks. 🙂
Very interesting choices. All but one are new-to-me. Enjoy
Thank you. 🙂
My list is my favorite authors. It seemed like the easiest route. The Other March Sisters sounds really good.
Yes, that would be the easiest way to go for sure!
That new M.R. Carey one looks intriguing. I’ll have to check that one out.
Enjoy!
I also did only seven! But i was slightly left of topic. I’ll have to keep my eye out for your review of when the moon hits your eye, it sounds funny. i hope you enjoy all seven!

Thank you. I’ll try to review it here! We’ll see. 🙂
John Green has a new book coming!? How did I not know this?
I also discovered The Other March Sisters the other day and looks so good.

I hope you like his new book!
John Green’s book sounds absolutely fascinating. It’s on my TBR list as well. I hope you enjoy all these!
Happy TTT!

I hope you enjoy them all when you get a chance to read them. Have a great week!
Ah, I forgot about The Other March Sisters by Linda Epstein, thank you for reminding me! Happy reading!
I think I will probably look at the new Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie!
Cool!
I predict good reading ahead! I had a friend die from non infectious TB last year 💔
Thank you. I am so sorry for your loss. 💜
Love the sound of The Other March Sisters.
Cool!
Scalzi is a must for me, and I’ve been intrigued by the sound of All the Water in the World, although I haven’t added it to my TBR just yet. The Other March Sisters is one I hadn’t heard of before, but I think I’ll need to read that one too! I also hated Gatsby when I read it in school and avoid anything Gatsby-related… but if I hear enough good things about this one, well, maybe?
I’m glad you get it.
Hope you like Scalzi’s new work!
THE OTHER MARCH SISTERS looks interesting! I’m a LITTLE WOMEN fan but haven’t read many spinoffs/retellings.
There have been a good number of them. I hope you like this retelling.
Everything Is Tuberculosis sounds so interesting, is a awful disease, but even if it was fashionable,
For sure.
I am curious about The Other March Sisters. That sounds so interesting!
May you enjoy it!
Now I’m intrigued by Once Was Willem. Hope you enjoy these!
Thank you. 🙂
I know I will be adding The Other March Sisters to my reading list (love Little Women retellings)… and also the John Scalzi read
Awesome. Enjoy!
The Other Marsh Sisters and Don’t Sleep With The Dead sound interesting! I’m not a fan of The Great Gatsby either, but I read it a long time ago and I’m curious to revisit to see what I think now.
Sometimes tastes do change. It can be hard to predict in advance. 🙂
Wow, I always love how much diversity is in your list – there’s something for everyone on here. And you know I didn’t leave without adding a few to my TBR. I have to admit that I’m curious about The Great Gatsby retelling – I read a queer version and enjoyed that one a lot.
Aww, thank you so much, Leah.
That queer version of The Great Gatsby sounds interesting.
