A list on A Literary Escape comprised of "to be read" (TBR) books for October 2026, including ARCS and library books.

I can't believe it is already October. This year is flying by, and last month felt like it disappeared in a blink. That being said, the start of a fresh month means it is time for a new TBR! I had to scramble to create this one because the end of the month snuck up on me somehow. lol. Without further ado, let's dive into my October 2026 hopefuls and a brief recap of my reading from last month!

It's the end of the month, which means it's once again time to look ahead to some great upcoming book releases. This month's list is a bit lighter than last month's, coming in at 26 books. Although, that's still probably way more than I'll ever have time to read. Oh well. Hopefully, I'll get to them all one day. Regardless, I'm excited to see them enter the world and find their readers.

Today is the tenth anniversary of me becoming a book blogger and launching There's Always Room For One More. TEN YEARS. There's a lot of Grosse Point Blank vibes today, without the assassinations. I copied across a lot of older reviews from LiveJournal and LibraryThing, but this is the big day for this blog. I'm surprised and delighted and proud to still be here, however inconsistently, and hugely grateful to my regular readers and bookfriends who have made this such a rewarding hobby.
