Hi everybody, and welcome to a new Top Ten Tuesday! Today we’re talking about our winter TBR and as usual, my winter TBR consists of a mix of upcoming new releases, (recent-ish) backlist books and re-reads. Here we go!
Upcoming Releases
We Who Will Die by Stacia Stark
Release date: 30 December 2025
A Roman-inspired world, a deadly arena, and vampires? Count me in!
Enchanting the Fae Queen (Queens of Villainy #2) by Stephanie Burgis
Release date: 27 January 2026
Wooing the Witch Queen was one of my unexpected top faves of 2026. If this is half as fun and cozy and swoony, I’ll be a fan!
Dawn of the North (The Ashen #3) by Demi Winters
Release date: 3 February 2026
I can’t wait to return to this world! Although I may need a re-read of the first two books.
A Practical Guide to Dating a Demon by Hannah Reynolds
Release date: 3 February 2026
A cozy YA romantasy about an accidental bethrothal to a demon sounds right up my alley.
And Now, Back To You (Heartstrings #2) by B.K. Borison
Release date: 24 February 2026
I’ll always be looking forward to reading B.K. Borison!
Recent Releases I Still Need To Read
Rose in Chains by Julie Soto
Release date: 3 July 2025
A dark fantasy set in a magical world, with enemies-to-lovers and a morally grey love interest? I’m in!
Good Spirits by B.K. Borison
Release date: 7 October 2025
A new holiday romance book series by B.K. Borison? With a slight paranormal twist to it? YES PLEASE!
Mate (Bride #2) by Ali Hazelwood
Release date: 7 October 2025
Honestly, I wasn’t the biggest fan of Bride. But I’m still looking forward to Mate!
The Songbird & the Heart of Stone and The Fallen & the Kiss of Dusk by Carissa Broadbent
Release date: 19 November 2024 and 5 August 2025
I loved the first two books in this series and while I’ve been looking forward to books 3 and 4, I still haven’t started them yet. Maybe this winter?
Re-Reads
I love a good re-read! This year, I’ve been pretty good at re-reading and I hope to continue this in the next year. With the new Ashen book releasing, I may need a refresher of book 1, The Road of Bones and book 2, Kingdom of Claw. With the People We Meet On Vacation adaptation, I may want to re-read the book before watching the movie. While I’m in an Emily Henry re-read vibe, I may want to re-read my fave, Funny Story. And I always love a good re-read of my all-time fave in winter, Red Winter!
Tell Me:
What’s on your winter TBR? Do you go for mostly new releases, backlist books, or re-reads?
I’m trying to decide if I want to read People We Meet on Vacation or not! I know I’ll watch the movie and I prefer readding the book first, but my hesitation comes from not loving Beach Read. Still… I may give another Henry novel a chance; they always look like books I’d love. Happy winter TBR-ing! 🙂
I’m sorry you didn’t love Beach Read and I hope you’ll have better luck with Emily Henry’s other books, or the movie adaptation 🙂
I have Good Spirits on my TBR too, though I haven’t read any of their books before.
Then I hope Good Spirits will be the book to start your B.K. Borison journey 🙂
I’m hoping to get Good Spirits from my Secret Santa.
Thanks for sharing your TTT
I hope you’ll get and love Good Spirits! 🙂
I’ve heard good things about Good Spirits and hope you like it!
Thanks! 🙂
I’ve been hearing great things about Good Spirits! I hope you enjoy it.
Me too, I’m looking forward to reading it 🙂
I want to read Good Spirits. It looks like a good one. I hope you enjoy it .Happy Reading. Have a great day and a great week. Here is my TTT. https://dmhoisington.wordpress.com/2025/12/16/top-ten-tuesday-14/
Thanks, I hope we’ll both enjoy Good Spirits!
I’m not sure I’m going to get to Good Spirits this year, but it looks so good!
It does indeed, I hope you’ll enjoy it whenever you get to it!
Oof, another year has come and gone and I’ve failed yet again at picking up my EH books! 🤦🏻♀️ I don’t know why I keep putting off her books! You’ve mentioned quite a lot on this list that’s on my TBR as well. I hope you enjoy them all!
I have a few authors like that as well… Maybe 2026 will be our year 😀
Good Spirits sounds interesting! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
It really does 🙂
I am excited for And Now Back To You and I really enjoyed Good Spirits.
I’m happy to hear you enjoyed Good Spirits!
I hope you enjoy reading (and rereading) all of these when you get the opportunity.

Thanks so much! 🙂
There are so many wonderful books on this list!! I really want to get to the Road of Bones series. I am planning to get to We Who Will Die in the next week or so. I hope you enjoy all of these.
I hope you’ll love the Road of Bones series! And that we’ll both love We Who Will Die, as it sounds so good!
I finished We Who Will Die and I loved it!!
I’m so happy to hear that!
I like that you included re-reads in your list. We could all come up with a dozen or more older releases we haven’t read yet, but want to, couldn’t we? Have a great week!
I love re-reads, as well as finally being able to cross some backlist books off my list 🙂
I hope you enjoy all these!
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
