Yes hello it is that time of year that we will start drooling over all those upcoming new releases. It is a standard Top Ten Tuesday topic (as always hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl) and a good way to keep track of all those new shiney upcoming books.
This post was written at the start of December 2020 and will be rechecked before publishing but I might miss something, and release dates do move around a lot.
Also check out Crini’s Queer SFF Releases of 2021 that she updates throughout the year. And Tammy shared some adult SF books 2021 releases during sci-fi month 2020

The Witness for the Dead recently came on my radar. I have not been waiting for it as long as some people, as I only read The Goblin Emeperor last summer, but I’m looking forward to it as well!
