It’s already been a year of great reading and there’s still plenty to come! With five more months in 2016, I’m thinking about the books still to be released and read. There are more fantastic indie books to get your hands on, along with those from traditional publishers.
I’m sharing some of the books I’m excited to get my hands on in the second half of this year. I’ve had the pleasure of reading four of the beauties below already and I can very confidently say you are in for a treat! It’s quite the eclectic mix of must reads – traditional and indie – but I’d love to know what your wish list for the rest of the year look like. Care to share?!
The Lady and the Lionheart by Joanne Bischof
Baron of Blackwood by Tamara Leigh
Conspiracy of Silence by Ronie Kendig
The Thirteenth Chance by Amy Matayo
Told You Twiceby Kristen Heitzmann
The Innkeeper of Ivy Hill by Julie Klassen
A Portrait of Emily Price by Katherine Reay
Wild Montana Skies by Susan May Warren
Can’t Help Falling by Kara Isaac
Newton and Polly by Jody Hedlund
The Long Journey to Jake Palmer by James L Rubart
Which books have you been holding out for in 2016?
July 26, 2016 at 5:45 am
You’ve included several of mine in your list (Tamara, Ronie, Kristen, Susan). Here’s a few more I can’t wait to get my grubby little hands on:
* Without Warning – Lynette Eason
* Rise of the Beast – M.K. Gilroy
* Catching Heat – Janice Cantore
* Another Day, Another Dali – Sandra Orchard
* The Captive Heart – Michelle Griep
There are many, many more but don’t want to be a comment hog so I’ll stop here.

Thank you, Amy! BOB is just about there 🙂

Counting. Down. The. Minutes. My bookshelf is awaiting with open arms for Baron Griffin & Lady Quintin. That is of course, after I tire of looking at the cover (like that will ever happen!) and devouring their story.
July 27, 2016 at 2:45 am
Aww! My day just went from 60 watt to 100 watt 🙂
July 28, 2016 at 3:13 pm
Nice list! I agree with you, Amy, I could have kept adding to my list, too 🙂
July 26, 2016 at 6:12 am
SO MANY GOOD BOOKS. Cannot wait for Ronie’s, Kristen’s, Katherine’s (*happy face*), Susan’s and Kara’s. Joanne’s is beautiful. 🙂
July 28, 2016 at 3:14 pm
Yes, yes, yes!
July 26, 2016 at 6:14 am
Almost all of these are on my want-to-read list as well. I also want to read…
The Captive Heart by Michelle Griep
and
Lost in Scotland by Julianne Donaldson
July 28, 2016 at 3:14 pm
I must read a Julianne Donaldson book!
July 26, 2016 at 8:09 am
I’m so looking forward to The Lady and The Lionheart! I was checking for that cover for MONTHS before it finally appeared!
July 28, 2016 at 3:15 pm
It’s SO worth the wait, Marie 🙂
July 26, 2016 at 10:50 am
Can I just say ditto to most of your list ESPECIALLY Told You Twice and Can’t Help Falling!? I’d also be remiss if I didn’t add Another Day Another Dali. And, I don’t want time to speed up, but I wish Elizabeth Camden could just bump up her release date by…oh…six months or so sounds good. 🙂
July 28, 2016 at 3:15 pm
Elizabeth is a beautiful writer, I agree! Thanks for sharing, Amanda
July 26, 2016 at 3:57 pm
Love this sneak peek, Rel. Thank you. I’m keen to read many of those you’ve mentioned and in particular, Ronie, Kara and Jim’s.
But I’m going to be a bit cheeky and nominate 3 others that have nothing to do with ChristianFiction but I’m very keen to read: AutoBiographies from Bruce Springsteen and Jimmy Barnes plus Matthew Reilly’s latest lands in Oct/Nov (always every 2nd year).
See ya,
July 28, 2016 at 3:16 pm
Matthew Reilly! I have his on my shelves, too. Haven’t got to the last couple yet.
And your 80s rocker side is showing, Ian!
July 27, 2016 at 12:32 am
Hi Rel!
Thank you for the enthusiasm over my BOB. Griffin and Quintin are nearly ready to be unleashed on the romance reading world. So excited!
July 28, 2016 at 3:16 pm
Unleash away!!! Hugs to you, Tam xo
July 27, 2016 at 2:45 am
Of course at the top of my list is Baron of Blackwood (BOB)!! I’ve read the others in the Feud Series, so I’ve been on pins & needles for the story of Baron Griffin & Lady Quintin. Note to self: “Patience is a virtue” (ok, now crumpling note and throwing in waste basket – ahhh- 2 points!) I know you’re working furiously Tam! Is BOB on pre-order yet?
And I am also patiently waiting (another shot to the waste basket – HOOYA! 3 pointer) for your next time travel romance release “Lady Ever After” – it’s been a while since “Dreamspell” and you are so good at time travel romance – you go girl!!
I will definitely be getting “Newton & Polly” when it releases – love, love, love the cover!
I’ve already pre-ordered Bischof’s “The Lady & the Lionheart”.
And Amy Matayo’s “The Thirteenth Chance” will also be on the batting line up.
As always Rel – LOVE your blog and reviews – my Kindle is on fire!!!
July 28, 2016 at 3:17 pm
You make me laugh, dear Pam – lots of terrific reading ahead of you! xo
July 28, 2016 at 3:39 pm
Thank you, dear Pam! You make me smile. I’m sorry BOB isn’t available for pre-order, but it will be ready for your burning hot Kindle this Sunday 🙂 I hope you enjoy it. Blessings to you and Eddie!
July 27, 2016 at 7:44 am
Klassen, Reay, Bischof, Isaac & Hedlund are on my list too! I would add:
Shadow of the Storm by Connilyn Cossette
When Love Arrives by Johnnie Alexander
Waves of Mercy by Lynn Austin
Child of the River by Irma Joubert
Love’s Faithful Promise by Susan Anne Mason
July 28, 2016 at 3:18 pm
Great additions to any list, Staci – loving seeing what you are looking forward to!
