Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the First Quarter of 2024

I had trouble narrowing this list down to 12. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the First Half of 2024, but I've decided to focus only on the first quarter (January - March) today.

 

Not a River by Selva Almada, translated by Annie McDermott - Selva Almada is an Argentine author, and Not a River has been translated into English. This is a story of grief and friendship and it sounds like nature is an ominous character in this one. Expected publication January 1, 2024.

Mislaid in Parts Half-Known by Seanan McGuire - Is my heart ready for another Wayward Children? We'll see! I love this series and each new release is a highlight of the new year. Expected publication January 9, 2024.

This Wretched Valley by Jenny Kiefer - This is survival horror about rock climbers inspired by the Dyatlov Pass incident. Expected publication January 16, 2024.

 

The Tusks of Extinction by Ray Nayler - This is by the same author that wrote The Mountain in the Sea. I don't know much about it, but I love fiction with an animal character focus. Expected publication January 16, 2024.

Island Witch by Amanda Jayatissa - This is an adult horror being compared to Carrie and The Exorcist so I'm ready to be scared. Let's do this! Expected publication February 20, 2024.

No One Can Know by Kate Alice Marshall - Kate Alice Marshall is an absolute favorite author so she will land on my most anticipated lists no matter what she writes. Expected publication January 23, 2024.

 

The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett - I keep missing the boat when it comes to Robert Jackson Bennett. I really want to get caught up on his other series and hopefully start this one as well.
Expected publication February 6, 2024

What Feasts at Night by T. Kingfisher - This is the sequel to What Moves the Dead. I loved What Moves the Dead. I'm going into the sequel completely blind, and I'm so excited.

Murder Road by Simone St. James - I really enjoy Simone St. James so I'm hoping to check out her latest thriller this year. Expected publication March 5, 2024.

 

We Ate the Dark by Mallory Pearson - This is another story of friendship and horror. Four women are investigating the murder of their friend and it sounds pretty intense. Expected publication March 5, 2024.

In Ascension by Martin MacInnes - This Booker Prize nominee is being published in the US in February. "An astonishing novel about a young microbiologist investigating an unfathomable deep vent in the ocean floor, leading her on a journey that will encompass the full trajectory of the cosmos and the passage of a single human life."
Expected publication February 27, 2024.

Alien Clay by Adrian Tchaikovsky - Alien worlds and alien lifeforms are some of my most favorite elements in fiction. I have the highest of hopes for Alien Clay. This is one of my most anticipated of the year. Expected publication March 28, 2024.
