My Most Anticipated Reads This Spring

While this list has 31 books I genuinely recommend, I may or may not favor some of these over others. Some of them are sequels to great books! Some of them have gotten some exciting buzz. A few of them I have already read and think you will also find absolutely delightful.

  • I brought Weyward by Emilia Hart along to my solo trip to Paris, and it was the perfect earthy spring read to indulge in with good wine and lots of bread.

  • Painted Devils by Margaret Owen is the sequel to Little Thieves, a retelling of the goose girl story by the Brothers Grimm. I’m a sucker for a folktale retelling, and Owen’s writing has a lovely dark quality.

  • I don’t know how Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers became my first foray into Jesse Q. Sutanto’s writing, but I plan to gobble up the rest of their work immediately.

  • Yellowface by R. F. Kuang promises to be a mixture of Disorientation by Elaine Hsieh Chou and Babel by R. F. Kuang, and I AM READY!
