Most Anticipated Releases of 2021: July to September
July is here, and it’s time to look ahead to the Science Fiction and Fantasy reads I’m most excited about in the third quarter of 2021! Not only do I enjoy making these lists, they also help me organize my reading by focusing my attention to the highly anticipated releases that I’d like to check out.
I’ve been trying to limit my TBR and only focus on the “must reads” but geez, it’s shocking how the books still add up! There’s already an impressive tower on my to-read pile, and while I’m under no illusions that I’ll be able to read them all, hopefully I can get to most of them (and also put some new books on people’s radars.
So what are your most anticipated releases for the next few months? Do you have any of these books on your list? What’s missing that I should be checking out?

The Exiled Fleet is very high on my “wanted” list, since I enjoyed the first book in the series very much, but I can’t forget Empire of the Vampire as well, and my sights are already set on Pariah….

There are many here I’d like to try. I’ve read The Pariah and absolutely loved it. It’s my first Ryan book but I can’t wait to read the next ones in the series. Very interesting character. And I’ve already started purchasing some of his older works to try.
