Fall is always one of my favourite times of year for new book releases, and 2026 is shaping up to be a very exciting season for readers. There are so many books I’m looking forward to picking up, from highly anticipated sequels and new releases from favourite authors to books that have recently caught my attention.
I’ve put together the fall 2026 books I’m most excited about — the ones I’ve already added to my reading list, the special editions I’m tempted to preorder, and the stories I can’t wait to discover.
