Top Anticipated Book Releases of 2025: Must-Read Titles Across Genres

Early 2025 promises an array of highly anticipated books across genres. Onyx Storm, the third in Rebecca Yarros’s The Empyrean series, follows Violet Sorrengail on a high-stakes journey for survival and alliances. Suzanne Collins returns to the Hunger Games with Sunrise on the Reaping, a prequel centered on Haymitch Abernathy’s fateful entry into the brutal arena.

Fantasy fans are looking forward to Brandon Sanderson’s Wind and Truth, and Jennifer L. Armentrout’s The Primal of Blood and Bone, where the protagonists confront destiny and ancient forces in a climactic tale of love and power. Scythe & Sparrow by Brynne Weaver is a dark romantic comedy with a touch of murder and mayhem, while Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix is a coming-of-age tale set in a secretive, oppressive girls’ home, blending horror with themes of rebellion.

R.F. Kuang’s Katabasis introduces an academic rivalry taken to hell—literally—while Abby Jimenez’s Say You’ll Remember Me offers a heartfelt love story. In Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor, a novelist’s unexpected hit sparks a journey from Chicago to Lagos to outer space, challenging boundaries between author and story.

Emily Henry’s Great Big Beautiful Life and Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Atmosphere also stand out. Henry’s book follows two biographers uncovering a scandalous heiress’s history, while Reid’s novel immerses readers in the 1980s space shuttle program, following a group of pioneering women astronauts navigating friendship, ambition, and loss.

These releases represent a wide spectrum of storytelling, from fantasy and romance to thrillers and historical fiction, promising something exciting for every reader in the coming year.

I am not familiar with any of these authors and any of these titles, however, some titles certainly sounds interesting and might try one of these for myself or as a gift during this holiday season.
