Welcome to Future Fiction, my reimagining of the Waiting on Wednesday meme! There are so many amazing new books coming out, that I can no longer pick just one. My goal with Future Fiction is to share at least three new books each week, a combination of recent cover reveals and books that I’ve recently added to my TBR pile. I’m still going to be linking up with Wishful Endings/Can’t Wait Wednesday, and I also want to give a shout out to Jill at Breaking the Spine for starting the original Waiting on Wednesday meme. I hope you’ll find some new books to add to your TBR piles, and as always, I look forward to hearing what YOU’RE looking forward to:-D
Fantasy, science fiction and horror, a genre for (almost) everyone! Take a look:
The Magical Cheese Emporium by Sarah Beth Durst is the fourth magical standalone adventure in the New York Times bestselling series that started with The Spellshop.
When Eloren joined the revolution against the empire, she didn’t expect to lose everything―her job, her purpose, and her closest friend.
After the Great Library burned down and her position as Assistant Librarian burned down with it, she had no other choice but to return to the only home that will have her: her grandmother’s shop.
Now, Eloren is stuck at the Magical Cheese Emporium in the remote island town of Dew, struggling to become the cheesemonger heiress she never wanted to be. But the unicorns won’t let her milk them, there’s a monster in the cheese caves, and Eloren is more into books than cheese. The only good thing about coming home is reuniting with Garyn, the childhood friend and clever inventor who, at some point, got a whole lot taller.
When Dew’s governor imposes impossible taxes on small business owners like her grandmother, Eloren knows one thing: she didn’t take down the emperor just so someone else could exploit good people.
Eloren, Garyn, a mouse made of cheese, and Garyn’s (mostly) helpful contraptions set off to rescue the cheese emporium and all the other local businesses. And in saving her community, Eloren might finally agree to call it home.
The Magical Cheese Emporium is a fantasy romance about the places that tell you you’re home when everything burns down and daring to see old friends with new eyes. Prepare for hard work, sparkly dreams, and lots of magical cheese.
The Magical Cheese Emporium (The Spellshop #4) by Sarah Best Durst. Releases in January 2027 from Bramble. Book #3, Sea of Charms, isn’t even out yet, but I’m so glad to see the next book in this charming series already has a cover and a release date!
In a propulsive sci-fi thriller for fans of Andy Weir and Gravity, six astronauts on a one-way journey to Mars stumble across the impossible right beside their ship. Is it a wormhole, mass hallucination…or something far more sinister?
Psychiatrist Daniel Richland never had what it took to be an elite astronaut, never mind serve as chief medical officer aboard the Ulysses: the fourth ship to ever attempt to reach the Red Planet. What Daniel is, however, is madly in love with his wife, Sarah, and since Mars Now, the private space program funded by eccentric billionaire Alan Burke, chose her to lead the construction of the first human habitat on Mars, Daniel will do whatever it takes for them to be reunited.
But space travel is a perilous business, and during a near-catastrophic solar flare that hits the Ulysses barely a quarter of the way into the voyage, Daniel observes what appears to be a second ship following a trajectory parallel to their own. When that ship turns out to be an exact duplicate of the Persephone—the ship commanded by Sarah that landed on Mars six months ago, Daniel and his crew are thrown into a web of bizarre scientific theories and rumors of a conspiracy to sabotage the entire Mars Now program.
A near-fatal attempt to study the ghost ship soon puts the Ulysses mission in jeopardy and leaves Daniel in charge of a team of astronauts who challenge his ability to command even as they hide secrets of their own. As one disaster after another besets the ship, evidence mounts that Daniel may not be able to trust not his own crew, not his billionaire boss, and maybe not even the messages he’s been receiving from Sarah.
With only his training, his instincts and his unwavering belief in the woman he loves to guide him, Daniel Richland must find a way to uncover the truth, rescue his crew, and save the course of space exploration for generations to come.
With high-stakes missions, scientific intrigue and a love that defies even the vastness of space, Persephone is that rare, irresistible hard sci-fi thriller—one with heart.
Persephone by Kristi Charish & Sebastien de Castell. Releases in April 2927 from Saga Press. This is a rather overly long synopsis, but wow, it sounds so good! This book actually caught my eye, not because of Sebastien de Castell, who is a very popular fantasy author, but because of Kristi Charish. I read a couple of her urban fantasies years ago and loved them, so it’s thrilling to see her return to publishing, especially alongside such a well known author!
Three brilliant women. An ancient curse. And one last chance to break the cycle.
France, 1312. Queen Isabella is a new mother. Her baby boy secures not only her ill-starred marriage but her own precarious future. And yet, she is terrified. A generational curse hangs over her family. Can she free herself and her child from it?
London, 1865. The corridors of Bedlam Lunatic Asylum move like white serpents around Lois. The women here are all the same—more mad than when they entered its doors. But if sin is the cause of her illness, and her memories are the manifestations of insanity, then who is the little boy who calls her Mama?
Brittany, 2026. Artist Emma is preparing for her wedding in the French countryside, where she and her fiancé have rented a beautiful old castle for the occasion. She hopes the event will help her connect with her sixteen-year-old daughter, Ivy, who has never understood the demons that drive her mother’s life and fuel her art. But soon the echoes of her past threaten to derail not only the wedding but everything she holds dear.
The House of Cursed Daughters knits together seven centuries and three unforgettable heroines as it explores female power and the way it can forge bright pathways through indescribable darkness.
The House of Cursed Daughters by C.J. Cooke. Releases in October 2026 from Berkley. I’m always excited to see a new C.J. Cooke book, and I was wondering when this cover would be revealed, since it comes out in a matter of months! I love the multi-timeline idea for this story, and I’m curious to see how they all connect.
