There are a lot of new books coming out every week. With New Release Radar, I’ll help you narrow down the week’s new book releases into the titles you should get excited about. This week is probably the smallest of the year. I have just three new titles to share with you, but the last one is especially exciting. Read on!

Coming to Find You by Jane Corry

After a family tragedy that became headline news, Nancy escapes by moving to her grandmother’s remote home in a quiet seaside village. The seemingly safe haven holds its own secrets, however, dating back to a haunting wartime legacy. When someone with nothing to lose confronts Nancy about the truth of the night her family was murdered, she must face that truth and decide how far she’s willing to go to keep her secrets hidden.

Coming to Find You combines a gritty thriller with a World War II historical fiction narrative into a suspenseful and emotional dual timeline. Jane Corry’s new book release is an addictive page-turner you won’t want to put down until it’s done.

Love on the Second Read by Mica De Leon

The cover of Love on the Second Read has a man and woman with dark hair and blue clothing looking down at a book they're holding. Behind them is a city skyline.

Emma Morales may edit romance novels, but her love life leaves much to be desired. The same goes for Kip Algree, a nerdy sci-fi and fantasy editor with a penchant for JRR Tolkien and a history of heartbreak. When a career-changing sci-fi romance manuscript lands on Emma’s desk, she teams up with Kip to save their publishing house.

Their collaboration gets complicated, however, as meddling friends, an obsessive ex-boyfriend, and a stunning ex-fiancée enter the mix. What began as a friendly literary collaboration soon evolves into something more, challenging Emma and Kip to reconsider their stance on love once and for all.

Book lovers, rejoice. Love on the Second Read is a charming new rom-com full of clever literary banter and a look behind the scenes of publishing. Set in the Philippines, Mica De Leon’s debut is a short and sweet story that romance readers will surely love.

Heartstopper Volume 5 by Alice Oseman

Nick and Charlie are truly in love — they’ve even said those three big words. Charlie has been working hard on his mental health and has even almost convinced his mum to let him sleep over at Nick’s house. But with Nick about to head off to university, the reality of their situation is setting in. Can Nick and Charlie’s love withstand their impending separation?

UK readers got the newest installation of Heartstopper a few weeks ago, but it’s finally available in the US. Alice Oseman reunited the gang once again to look toward their futures and discover who they really are. Maybe best of all, Volume 5 is no longer the final book in the Heartstopper saga — there will be one more coming out down the line.

You can check out these new book releases at Bookshop.org or your local bookstore. What December 19 new release are you most excited to read? Let us know below, and tune in next week to grow your TBR.
