10 of the Most Anticipated Sequels and Series Releases Coming Out This Fall
There are two types of people: those who measure time by months and seasons, and those who do it by book releases. Three guesses as to what category we belong to here at Book Riot.
It’s true that few feelings can match the anticipation of an upcoming release that people have been looking forward to, especially when it’s a sequel to a book or series they love. Think of what happens when the release date for a popular sequel is coming up: the social media buzz, the midnight release parties, the fervent speculation across Internet forums. Fans eagerly reread the last installment of the series, build up expectations, and either stay up all night reading or make an elaborate reading party for one. Or they may save the book for a pick-me-up and then not read it for three years. Not that I’m speaking from experience.
The 10 books listed below are novels that follow up beloved stories. Whether you’re a sci-fi reader, a fantasy fiend, all about YA, or devoted to mysteries, there is more than likely something here that will call to you. Odds are, some of these titles are on your TBR list already. What say you?
