Anticipated 2024 Fourth Quarter Book Releases

I got started a little early with my 2024 fourth quarter book releases roundup. There are quite a few October 2024 releases in my list that interest me. I didn’t find as many December 2024 releases, but as time goes on I hope to add on to this post. But, for the time being, here’s my main pass at a 2024 fourth quarter book release list. Lots of good stuff here!

Are any of these on your anticipated 2024 fourth quarter book releases list?

9 thoughts on “Anticipated 2024 Fourth Quarter Book Releases

  1. October has so many new releases! I’m very excited for Odd Spirits and The Black Hunger especially, and very curious about City of Night Birds. And I can’t wait for The Last One, since I loved the author’s last book.

  2. I’ve read two of your anticipated October releases – A Song To Drown Rivers which I loved (the writing was beautiful) & Januaries which I wasn’t a fan of but that was kind of a genre thing in the end as the stories were different than I’d imagined.

    Blood Of The Old Kings & The Nightward sound amazing. Thanks so much for sharing them, I hadn’t heard of them before and now I need to check them out. The cover for Odd Spirits is stunning too.

    I’m curious about Bristol Keats and have seen a stunning edition of it. And a lot of the others are on my TBR or I’ve just added 😂

    I hope you enjoy the arcs and preorders. Once I’ve read most of my library books I’m probably going to request North Is The Night on Netgalley.

    1. I’m a fan of Olivie Blake, so there’s a chance I’d like JANUARIES. But I’m behind on her books, so I opted not to order or request it. I find I kind of have to be in an academic mood to really get into her books.

      As for BLOOD OF THE OLD KINGS, I probably would’ve requested it if I wasn’t taking a break on ARC requests for the past couple of months haha. I’ve seen all good things about it.

      1. I’ve also read One For My Enemy by her and adored that one but I majorly need to catch up with her other books. Hopefully you’ll enjoy Januaries more than I did. It did have a kind of academic feel at times with how it reflected upon certain things.

        I’m not surprised as it sounds incredible. Hopefully we’ll both get to check it out soon. And I hope you’re getting on okay with your ARC break.

  3. A Song to Drown Rivers sounds AMAZING. I’ve definitely heard about Xishi (Four Beauties is one of those things you just absorb as you go through Chinese classes) so I’m so stoked she is getting her retelling!

    1. I don’t really know much about Chinese folklore, which is honestly kind of nice because I can go into those fantasy books with zero concept of what the “original” myth is like. If you read A SONG TO DROWN RIVERS, I hope you like it! I’ve read a few reviews on NetGalley and many seem overall positive.

  4. Hey girl,

    it’s been a hot minute since I visited your site. But I found my way back.
    Some of your presented books are already on my wishlist.

    Odd Spirits is a current read at the moment, which I asked for as an ARC. I am 25% in and the writing style is very promising. Let’s see what this prequel novella has in store and if I will grab the first volume of the series right after this ARC. Because it is already sitting on my TBR.

    Where the Libraries Hide is on my wishlist, even though the first volume wasn’t completely satisfying. But maybe the sequel can convince me. 😉

    A couple month ago I already pre-ordered The Last One but the publishing date was always pushed back. Now I do hope it will finally arrive in December.
    And The Monsoon Rising is a must-have and I hope FairyLoot will have the installment in store once it’s due to be published.

    Cheerio
    RoXXie

    PS: I hope you have a great weekend.

    1. Hey RoXXie! Welcome back! Sounds like so far you’re enjoying ODD SPIRITS…I plan to start it this weekend, hopefully! It also took me some time to get into WHAT THE RIVER KNOWS, but the ending made me want to continue with WHERE THE LIBRARY HIDES. That might be a book I get from the library since it’s not available for request on NetGalley.

      I hope you have a good reading week!
