Where has the time gone? With the first quarter of 2024 behind us, it’s time to look ahead to the Science Fiction and Fantasy reads I’m most excited about in the months of April to June.

Man, the first quarter HAS gone. Talk about quick!
I see that Barnes has another “ghost” book. I bet everything will be solved by the powah of wuuuuvvv, sigh

Good news was that it was so much better – and the wuuuuuvvv aspect was much less pronounced, lol.

It’s a packed quarter, right? I think June is the month with the most anticipated reads for me, I’m actually getting a little nervous about reading them all!

Oooh, thank you so much for writing this post! I’m definitely looking forward to these. I always have difficulty finding interesting new releases (I prefer backlist books) so this was really helpful.

I am the opposite, I don’t feel savvy on backlist books at all so I appreciate seeing all kinds of lists. I’m glad this one helped you!

I can’t wait for The Familiar to come out and am excited for a few others of the April books that you’ve listed
I have a couple of the books that you’ve mentioned for May on my TBR. My two favourite reads of the year, Hera & The Silence Factory, are out that month as well.
June looks like it’s got an interesting mix of books for you too. Hopefully you’ll find some new favourites within all of these.

I just snagged a listening review copy of The Familiar audiobook and I’m excited to dive in!

Strange timing, I’m starting my copy in a minute too 😅 hopefully we’ll both enjoy it.

There are so many here I’d like to try, and several that I’d first want to read the previous books in the series. But somehow I doubt if I’ll get to very many of them. Just seems to be the way. Collect a dozen books and read a few before it’s already time to collect the next dozen. 🙂

I’ve accepted that to be the way of things, lol. But hey, look on the bright side. At least we know that there will be a book to suit every mood we can possibly find ourselves in!

What a wonderful selection of books!! I have just nicked across to Netgalley and requested Service Model and How To Become and Dark Lord and Die Trying – both by authors I love to read:)). Fingers crossed I get approved and thank you for putting them on my radar. I hope you enjoy Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea.

Service Model looks spectacular and I’m looking forward to getting back into Tchaikovsky’s Sci-Fi. There looks to be a lot of quirky humor in Django Wexler’s newest too!
