Mister Magic: A Novel
I haven't read a Nick Cutter book yet this year, but The Troop sounds like a good place to start. It's giving Lord of the Flies
The Troop
A girl suffering from paralyzing night terrors finds a missing poster hanging from the door of her apartment building. On that poster is a photograph of a frighteningly familiar face. It's her. - SAY LESS! It's also a novella so it would be a good re...
The Bell Chime
I've heard to go into this blind for the best reading experience.
The Last House on Needless Street
I'm putting this in horror because it's based on a true story, which is a terrifying yet important read for everyone.
The Reformatory: A Novel
I'm scared to start this - people have said it's insane and one you can't stop thinking about. You’ve never read anything like this book. In fact, to even call it a book feels overly simplified. This is a creepy, curvy, tossy, turny horror story of m...
Books - House of Leaves: Mark Z. Danielewski
Fantasy
I'm am ready for book 2!! Quicksilver was one of my favorite books last year and I can't wait for Brimstone!
Brimstone (Deluxe Limited Edition)
A Study in Drowning was sooo gothic and atmospheric, the second book will be perfect for fall if it's anything like the first.
A Theory of Dreaming: Sequel to A Study in Drowning
Harper Collins posted an actual trailer for this movie, which convinced me that I need to read this ASAP!
Katabasis
Victor and Eli started out as college roommates. In their senior year, a shared research interest in adrenaline, near-death experiences, and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone cou...
Vicious
I'm telling myself I've waited so long to read this because I'm waiting for the second book to come. Seriously have not heard one bad review about this book.
The Will of the Many
I read Noctacadia by Keri Lake earlier this year and LOVED it. Planning to read this one soon because the second book just came out! Sounds like a gothic fantasy dream.
Anathema
If Stephanie Garber writes it, I'm going to read it. Seriously so excited for adult novel debut!! So jealous of everyone that received an ARC.
Alchemy of Secrets
I mean…. do I even need to explain?
Alchemised
It's giving Addie LaRue, which was a five-star read for me.
Our Infinite Fates
This is most likely going to be one of my next reads and I cannotttt wait! A lush, dark romantic fantasy filled with intrigue, magic, and an irresistible enemies-to-lovers romance.
Rose in Chains
I've heard this compared to Fourth Wing but with wolves?? I'm excited to get into this one and it's available on KU!
Dire Bound
Apparently this is giving people that Throne of Glass Feeling!! I need that right now.
A Dance of Lies
Thriller
A dead teacher at an elite boarding school. Four students who had every reason to want her gone. Who is the monster? - I love boarding school books, especially in the fall.
When We Were Monsters
Interested to read Mr. King's newest novel! Goodreads reviews are mainly positive, but the B&N reviews are rough. The Outsider was a five star read for me, so I do like when he writes thrillers.
Never Flinch: A Novel
The Chain was SO good, and I've heard nothing but postive things about this book as well.
The Island
I love all of the Alice Feeney books that i've read, and Sometimes I Lie is one of my favorite thrillers ever. I plan to listen to this on audio!

Excited for this one! Again, for the most part, I love all of Lisa Jewel's novels, so hopefully this one is a hit.
Don't Let Him In: A Novel
When a tragic accident sidelines Miley's dreams of Olympic gold, she takes a summer job at a mountain guest lodge. Local lore about a staffer who died years ago doesn’t scare her. But it should.
Gray After Dark
Blake Crouch never misses. Pick up any of his books and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Upgrade: A Novel
A father and daughter living in the remote Appalachian mountains must reckon with the ghosts of their past in Kimi Cunningham Grant's These Silent Woods, a mesmerizing novel of suspense.
These Silent Woods
I've heard to also go into this book blind. Apparently you think you know what's going on in the first half, but the second half completely flips the script.
Billy Summers
A booktoker I like who reads one thriller a day, and made a whole separate video on this, says it's one of her favorite books possibly ever - immediately added to my TBR
Nobody Knows You're Here: A Psychological Suspense Thriller
I love the cover on this one, and I just bought the book so this will be one of my next reads!

I've heard nothing but good things! I just need to be ready to read the entire series so I've been putting it off
Scythe (Arc of a Scythe Series #1)
Don't know much about this one, but it sounds like a murder mystery at a boarding school…. which is right up my alley.
House of Hearts
An explosive dark academia thriller set in the world of the BookTok sensation Win Lose Kill Die, where secret societies and lethal ambition run the show. - I really love YA thrillers! They are usually super fast-paced and twisty.
Keep Your Friends Close
It's Scream meets Scooby-Doo in this electrifying horror.
Let's Split Up
I believe this is a re-release, but I LOVED The Naturals so I have no doubt that I'll love this. This mystery thriller by the bestselling author of The Inheritance Games is a gripping story of high stakes, betrayal, and unpredictable twists.
The Ruling Class
Lit Fic
Yes, this could be classified as Fantasy, but I also think it's much more than that.
Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil
Someone please convince me to read this ASAP. I have no doubt it's good but I am somewhat intimidated by it
Babel: Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution
The premise of this is so unique and interesting! A brilliant combination of density, richness and accessibility, The Book of Doors has masterful magic, delicious villains and a fully realized and deeply compelling fantasy realm that you’ll want to s...
The Book of Doors: A Novel
So different than anything Elin has written, but sounds so good nonetheless! This cover just screams Fall

Romance
This has been on my TBR for soooo long, need to get to it this fall. She first met him in a dream. And now, weeks before she marries someone else, he's appeared in real life.
