Top Ten Tuesday: The Shop on Royal Street

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

I usually participate in Top Ten Tuesday, but this week's topic--Most Anticipated Books Releasing In the First Half of 2022--isn't speaking to me. I don't always read new releases when they come out, so it's rare I am tracking release dates. 

That said, I happened to be looking around Karen White's website and spotted this book, which will release on March 29. It is a spinoff from the Tradd Street series, and it features Jack's daughter, Nola Trenholm. I already pre-ordered it.

After a difficult hiccup on her road to adulthood, Nola Trenholm is looking to begin anew in New Orleans, and what better way to start her future than with her first house? But the historic fixer-upper she buys comes with even more work than she anticipated when the house's previous occupants don't seem to be ready to depart. Although she can't communicate with ghosts like her stepmother, luckily Nola knows someone in New Orleans who can--even if he's the last person on earth she wants anything to do with, ever again. Because Beau Ryan comes with his own dark past, a past that involves the disappearance of his sister and parents during Hurricane Katrina, and the unsolved murder of a woman who once lived in the old Creole Cottage Nola is determined to make her own whether or not the resident restless spirits agree...

What books are you looking forward to in the first half of 2022?
