Spring 2026 Anticipated Book Releases

I’ve been stuck in the world of The Wheel of Time, and I haven’t kept up with new releases. But I’ve been itching for something a little different, so I browsed through the coming soon section on Barnes and Noble’s website. You’ll notice a theme to this post.

Release Date: March 24, 2026

Release Date: March 24, 2026

How to Survive Camping: The Lady in Chains

Release Date: April 28, 2026
