Our Most Anticipated Books of 2026
Artemis
One of the biggest joys of being a bookseller is finding out about upcoming titles and telling our customers all about them. We've taken our time this year and have compiled a bountiful list - from dark fantasy, to music and poetry, we've got you covered. 2026 looks to be yet another great year for readers!
Book pre-orders are such a gift - not only do you get to delight in the book landing on your doorstep on publication, but pre-orders play a big role in the trade in supporting emerging writers, flagging to press/reviewers/booksellers excitement about a release and encouraging publishers to back new titles with the campaign support they deserve. If you can, it really does make a difference to pre-order the books you are excited for!
We'd love to hear about any other books that you're looking forward to and we haven't flagged! Give us a shout on socials!
