We’ve reached what is often Southern Ontario’s snowiest and iciest portion of the year.
This is when I often get a disproportionate amount of reading done due to how cold, slippery and dark it is outside.
(We have about 9 hours of daylight per day now. It’s nothing at all like how things are way up north where they have months of darkness, but it’s quite cloudy most days and I do definitely miss the feeling of sun of my skin right about now).
I’m writing this post in advance beginning in November. As I only had three titles to add in when I began, I am hoping that by the time this is published that number will have grown a little.
Let’s see what future Lydia can do!

1. Phases: A Memoir by Brandy
Publication Date: March 31
Why I’m Interested: Yes, I have mentioned this book a few times lately, including the most recent Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge post. I’m too excited about it not to talk about it again today. I loved Brandy’s music growing up and am curious to learn more about her life.

2. What We Are Seeking by Cameron Reed
Publication Date: April 7
Why I’m Interested: The alien planet described in this novel sounds so creative albeit dangerous.

3. Canon by Paige Lewis
Publication Date: May 19
Why I’m Interested: Weird fiction is alluring to me, and this was so odd I’m struggling to condense the plot into one sentence.
I didn’t know Brandy had a book coming out (probably because I don’t keep up with or read non-fiction), but I have heard her sing in some movies! Hope you enjoy these all!!
Thank you!
I didn’t know about Brandy’s book. It will definitely be added to the memoirs I want to read this year. I have heard good things about Canon and want to check that out too. Hope you enjoy all of these.
Thank you. Happy reading to you as well!
I think I will look up What We Are Seeking and find out more about it. It could be just the book I am seeking.
Awesome. 🙂
What We are Seeking has an interesting premise and cover! Since we already looked at upcoming release on Wednesday, I went with science titles..
That makes sense. 🙂
Thanks for sharing your #TTT, all three are new to me.
You’re welcome!
Quality over quantity! Hope you enjoy!
Thank you. 🙂
I know Brandy’s memoir will be amazing!
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
Yay! And thanks.
That cover for What We Are Seeking is intriguing. I hope you can get your hands on these books and enjoy them all.
Thank you. 🙂
Canon looks so interesting! Thanks for visiting my blog 😊.
You’re welcome!
I am attracted to weird and quirky fiction, too. I picked a book for my list, Vigil, which said in the description of the summary “and weird things happened.”
That’s awesome. I’ll have to look up Vigil. 🙂
All new to me, but Canon sounds interesting!
Thanks. 🙂
Oh a Brandy memoir does sound great! Hope you’ll love all of these!
Thank you. 🙂
The Brandy memoir looks really good. I hope you enjoy these.
Thank you!
Ooh, What We Are Seeking sounds really good. I hadn’t heard of that one before; thanks for bringing it to my attention!
You’re welcome. 🙂
These look interesting.
I love the darker days. It has been dark all day today as it has been raining. The only downside is the school run. I got a bit wet on both of the school runs!
Have a great week!
That’s a good story. Thanks for sharing.
I hope you enjoy reading these, and many others, when you get the opportunity!

Thank you!
Ohhh, I didn’t know Brandy was coming out with a memoir! I’ll have to add that one.
I hope you like it. 🙂
VERY interesting choices! Weird fiction–great genre name.
Thank you. 🙂
Happy reading these! 😀
Thank you.
I listened to Brandy’s music too. Hope you like these!
Oh, fun! Thanks.
I think Brandy’s book will definitely be interesting!
Glad to hear it!
What We Are Seeking sounds right up my alley! I hope you enjoy these!
Thank you. Happy reading!
We have about 45 minutes more of daylight than you here in Northern California. Hope you enjoy all on your list!
I’m happy for you. And thanks. 🙂
What exactly is Weird Fiction?
Stories that don’t easily fit into one genre and that can have strange plot twists, from what I understand.
I am eager to read Brandy as well. Thanks for sharing and for visiting my blog, Lydia.
You’re welcome. I hope we both like Brandy’s memoir.
Ooh, I didn’t know Brandy was coming out with a book! I hope you enjoy all of these reads (and whatever books you’re reading now in the cold)!
Thank you. 🙂
I hope you enjoy all these! I’m listening to a pop star’s memoir right now and it’s been super interesting to learn more about him and the stories behind the songs he wrote and performed. It’s not my usual type of read, but I’m really enjoying it.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

Good for you! Pop star memoirs aren’t my usual type of read either, but sometimes it’s fun to stretch your wings. 🙂
I like the sound of What We Are Seeking. I love sci fi with interesting ecology.
Thank you!
All of these are new to me. I hope you enjoy them when you get the opportunity to read them.
Thank you.
I think 3 anticipated releases is good to keep your TBR under control LOL
Oh, totally! ha.
Haha wow Canon sounds awesome. Adding it to my TBR, I like the fantastical 😉 My list is here if interested 🙂 https://theparteveryoneskips.com/posts/20260107-top-ten-tuesday-most-anticipated-books-beginning-2026/
May you enjoy it!
These are all new to me, but I hope you enjoy them when you pick them up!
Thank you!
I haven’t heard of any of these, but the covers are interesting. I hope you enjoy lots of good books while staying indoors and keeping warm this winter.
Thank you very much.
Oh a memoir of Brandy is interesting!
I know, right? 🙂
