We have almost two months left in 2026, and I’m already salivating as I browse catalogs for books coming out in 2027–some in January, and some all the way in November. Some have covers that are taunting me to read them, others are sitting in my Kindle library for me to read an early ARC of, and some I’ll probably have to fight the library holds gamut on!
Here are eight books I’m excited about that are coming out in 2027. Any 2027 titles you’re particularly looking forward to?
Stacey and the Missing Ring Graphic Novel
Stacey’s in trouble! She baby-sits for a new family, the Gardellas, and she is devastated when they accuse her of stealing a valuable ring. Stacey is not a thief. Even worse, the Gardellas threaten to tell The Baby-sitters Club’s other clients about the missing ring.
Will everyone in Stoneybrook think the members of the BSC are untrustworthy? Not if Stacey can help it. She’s going to find out what happened to that ring!
A Liar in the Family by Ruth Ware
On Halloween night 1990, bestselling novelist Elinor Thorne was killed at her remote medieval manor house, struck down by a masked assailant who fled into the night. Her seven-year-old granddaughter Margot could only watch as her beloved grandmother’s life ebbed away. The killer was never found.
Now, more than thirty years later, the estate is to be sold, and as the family gathers at Stonelees House for the last time, Margot tells them why she’s here: to find out the truth behind her grandmother’s murder. The police may have suspected local teenagers, and the press may be baffled, but the villagers have always believed that Margot’s cousin Dido did it.
Dido, just sixteen years old at the time of the murder, was a prime suspect along with her boyfriend, local outcast Ruan Pearce. The Thorne family rallied to protect their own—but was it at the cost of the truth?
As the days tick down to the sale of Stonelees House, bitter secrets begin to surface, along with memories that threaten everything Margot thought she knew about her family and childhood. But Margot is determined to clear her cousin’s name, or prove her guilt, no matter who stands in her way.
The Best I Ever Had by Christina Lauren
Frankie Flowers and Bobby Falco have spent most of their lives trying to outdo each other.
As neighbors turned academic rivals, they grew up competing over everything. Somewhere along the way, rivalry became friendship, friendship became love, and then, at eighteen, everything between them fell apart.
Eleven years later, Frankie has built the exact life she once dreamed of—far away from her tiny hometown. She’s successful, independent, and has perfected the art of not looking back. But when she finally returns to Lake Himmel for the summer, she discovers that some things haven’t changed nearly as much as she’d like.
The lake is still there. The house next door is still there. And so is Bobby Falco.
Bobby is no longer the boy Frankie remembers, but being around him still feels dangerously familiar: the competition, the banter, the uncanny way he sees straight through her. And as old feelings resurface, Frankie begins to wonder if the one thing more dangerous than their old rivalry is discovering what really ended it.
Katara by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley
Four months ago, before a horse was left to die in Harper’s yard, before she named him Phoenix and began to nurse him back to health, before she joined the riding team in her new town, before all that, Harper knew zero about horses.
Now? She knows a little more than zero. And she knows for sure that the best part of riding is jumping. Harper wants to be perfect at it by the time Phoenix is well enough to ride—maybe even in time for the team’s first competition. But to her surprise, there is no jumping at the first event. Even worse, it’s called Quiz Rally. Just the word “quiz” makes Harper queasy—she’s tanked every math quiz she’s had lately, despite how hard she studies. She must do well at Quiz Rally. But a mistake with Katara, her friend Dante’s horse, plunges Harper into uncertainty. As the group preps for the competition, Harper’s anxiety only grows, and so does tension with her teammates. How will she ever make it through math class, through Quiz Rally, through all the competitions to come? How will she ever be ready for Phoenix? The answers come in taking a leap—just not the one Harper expects. More adventure awaits in this second book. Ride on.
Beth March Returns from the Dead by Emily St. James
Beth March is the third of four sisters. Well, she was supposed to be the only son in a family of girls, but to everyone’s surprise, she came out as trans in college. Dead to her family, she took the name because, well, Beth March dies, right?
But now she’s home for Christmas for the first time in a decade, hoping the holiday season offers a chance for her and her family to heal the wounds they’ve plastered over. Beth has changed. Her family has changed, not always in welcome ways. But her hometown of Duluth, Minnesota, hasn’t. Including, it seems, Tom Vega, the boy next door who broke her heart back when he couldn’t face his own queerness.
Tom is barely scraping by. Working a job he hates as a handyman in a business he inherited from his father, he’s also stuck in his childhood home and struggling to connect with his young daughter ever since his wife passed away. So, Beth’s arrival in Duluth is an unwelcome complication. Or so he tells himself.
Because when Beth and Tom bump into each other again, sparks fly. Immediately.
And as they circle each other, getting ever closer and ever more scared, both must ask themselves what they’d be giving up by disappearing into heterosexuality—and whether they’d be betraying their communities in doing so.
TimeLess by A.F. Steadman
At twenty-one, Artemis has just graduated top of her Cambridge class of assassins, the most respected discipline in the Faculty’s army. As a timeless soldier, she will travel in and out of linear time, protecting the fragile future with her lethal hands. Along with her crew—a navigator, an armorer, a historian and a medic—she will do whatever it takes to stop the destruction of history by dangerous Guild members.
Although Artemis might look like she’s got everything she ever wanted, growing up in Cambridge hasn’t been easy. Assassins must be ruthless to survive; she’s made enemies, discarded a fair few lovers, and has a secret that could lose her everything she’s worked for. And things don’t get any simpler once she and her crew start to travel.
For Artemis is going to meet a time vandal who has been waiting for her. And despite knowing this man is devastation distilled—that he is the essence of the very war she is fighting—she is going to break all the rules and let him live. As he follows her through time and space, Art is going to become obsessed with two questions: Why is he so determined to be everywhere she is? And why can’t she bring herself to kill him?
Brothers and Sisters by Tara Westover
Tara Westover grew up at the base of a mountain in Idaho. Then she left the mountain and wrote the story. She wrote about being kept out of school and working in her father’s junkyard, the family’s preparations for the End of Days, and the confusion she felt when an older brother became violent. When she was thirty-one, she published the story.
The world believed her, but her parents hired a lawyer. What followed was a battle over the past. Who gets to say what happened?
Westover was able to write the story because two of her brothers helped her. They vindicated her memories and affirmed her right to say what happened. “There’s a gift siblings can give to one another,” Westover writes. “It’s the gift of a witness.”
But the gift didn’t last. After the book was published, it became a phenomenon, and within weeks, her brothers began to deny events they had once confirmed. Or they confirmed the events but denied their meaning. Perhaps there hadn’t been any violence, or perhaps the violence had been mild. Westover was believed by millions, but she was not believed by her own family.
Brothers and Sisters is the story of what comes after the telling. Of what it means to step into the world knowing you will outlive the family that made you.
The Roommate Risk by Talia Hibbert
Romance is weakness, and Jasmine Allen doesn’t have time for either. Lifelong cynic Jas is the queen of one-night things—until a plumbing disaster screws everything up and leaves her temporarily homeless. Luckily, she has someone to turn to: her best friend Rahul.
For seven years, Rahul Khan has followed three simple rules.
- Don’t touch Jasmine if you can help it.
- Don’t look at her arse in that skirt.
- And don’t ever—ever—tell her you love her.
He should’ve added another rule: Do not, under any circumstances, let Jas move into your house.
Now Rahul is living with the friend he can’t have, and it’s decimating his control. He knows their shared dinners aren’t dates, their late-night kisses are a mistake, and the tenderness in Jasmine’s gaze is only temporary. One wrong word could send his skittish best friend running.
So why is he tempted to risk it all?
