Mysteries/Thrillers I Want to Read (upcoming releases) #ontheblog #bookbloggers Click To TweetToday I thought I’d share some of the books I’m currently wishing for/waiting on. I’m always adding books to Goodreads, so I figured why not share the love? To make this easier, I’m going to focus on certain genres. I won’t share the full summaries, because they are often long, but everything is linked to Goodreads! Today will be all about —-
Mysteries/Thrillers I Want to Read

They were all invited to a scholarship dinner, only to discover it’s a trap. Someone has locked them into a room with a bomb, a syringe filled with poison, and a note saying they have an hour to pick someone to kill … or else everyone dies.

I definitely have way more mysteries/thrillers on my wish list, but I wanted to focus on ones that haven’t been released yet.
What about you? Do we share any of the same books? Let me know your mystery/thriller book rec’s!
I read an Erica Spindler years ago and still remember how engaging her writing is. And The Chestnut Man is brilliant!
Love the new header! I’ve been into thrillers lately so thanks for sharing about these!
Holy wow these all sound good. No wonder you want to read them. I do too! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I’ve seen The Chestnut Man everywhere and has been really curious about it. As well, that latest by Stephen Chbosky.
Thanks for the heads up on these!
I do horrible with mysteries but I’m hoping to try a few on audio and see if that works better.
LOVE your new header – great job Kelly!!

I haven’t read anything by Chbosky since Perks. Imaginary Friend sounds like a good one. And the cover is certainly creepy!
These all sound really interesting. I love a good Clue-esque kind of book. The student one kind of sounds like it!
I love a good thriller so I’m keen to see some of these! The Look-Alike definitely sounds promising. In The Hall makes me want to play Clue!
The header looks great by the way
Erica Spindler is a fantastic thriller author! I would be curious to read that new one of hers too. I love a good thriller/mystery as we get into fall. Something about huddling under blankets and getting just a little spooked!
These all sound good and mysteries/thrillers are something I’ve been getting a little more into lately!

I have been getting more into thrillers lately and definitely have my eye on All Your Twisted Secrets.
As a matter of fact, I DO love your new blog header! Happy Blogoversary!
I have been on a Mystery/Thriller kick lately, so I was excited to see this post. I will have to check some of these out. I can’t wait for The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell, which will be my first read from her. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Oooh your new header is so pretty, Lauren! Also so many books here I’d love to read—the one about the scholarship dinner sounds amazing but the description for The Imaginary Friend—needs more!
Hope you’re having a great week! Xo
In the hall with a knife looks intriguing.
The Look-alike and The Chestnut man sound SO good! I enjoy a book that keeps me guessing and I have quite a few on my TBR list (which just keeps growing).
Your new blog header looks great!
Woohooo! Congrats on 12 years!! I am really excited about All Your Twisted Secrets, too. I hope that you love all of these titles. 🙂
All Your Twisted Secret ‘s cover is so dramatic! I love it and the premise is just awesome!
They’re all intriguing!
Thrillers aren’t really my cup of tea (the suspense makes me anxious), but I hope these are all wonderful reads for you!
Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear? ?
Happy Blogoversary! Love the new header!
Ahh I have Imaginary Friend coming to me soon and I may have an extra copy or two to giveaway! 😉
I LOVE thrillers, I can’t wait to check these out!
They all sound interesting!
I’m excited for several of these books too. Hopefully we’ll both enjoy them. I really like your new header too. Very pretty. 🙂
Oh man these are all new to me – and I’m a sucker for a good mystery, so I’m going to have to check them out. I’m about to read The Scholar, which is the follow up to The Ruin, an Irish detective story I’d definitely recommend. Also loved the twists and turns in Never Have I Ever.
I’d read The Imaginary Friend. Kids who can see what adults can’t is the right kind of creepy for me!
Annddd I guess all of these are headed off to my to-be-read list! 😛 I hadn’t ever heard of any of these before!
SO many awesome sounding thrillers have come out lately!!
