Today’s TTT is books we’re anticipating being released this year, but I did that last Wednesday, so I’m going to offer a preview of what this year’s Science Survey might constitute. But first, a tease!
Hurrying means that you miss out on many things. Riding a train will take you far, but it’s a misconception to think that this will give you more insight. Flowers in the hedgerow and birds in the treetops are accessible only to the person who walks on their own two feet. – THE CAT WHO SAVED BOOKS

Some interesting ones there. No Science books planned for me yet – but its VERY early days!
Fabulous! Entangled Life is so so good.
I’m going to look at Reader, Come Home
It was on my interest already, but it’s gotten unexpected traction in the book-blogging world, too!
I am intrigued by Turning to Stone – as someone who has collected rocks for her entire life, and took Geology (and Astronomy) for my university science credits: very intrigued.
Interestingly Astronomy was offered as a Math course at my university!
Now that’s a math class I’d have happily taken! 😀
I didn’t get to take it (was focusing on history, sociology, and German), but I was able to go to Astronomy Club meetings and got to see Saturn, Jupiter, etc through a substantial telescope. Awe-inspiring !
I love university telescopes!
I think I want to read all of these books. 😂 They all sound awesome.
You’re one of the few science readers I know in the book-blogging world, so I figured a few of these might interest you!
I tend to find these kinds of books on audio, but love reading people’s reviews of them 😂 hope you enjoy!
Thank you!
Reader, Come Home caught my eye. I’m going to look it up
Thanks for sharing your #TTT
‘Confessions’ has just arrived…. Should be OK for our read in 4-6 weeks if that’s OK?
Sure! I’ll make a scribble in my calendar.
I knew you’d have a thoughtful list like no one else today. Good for you for digging deeply.
When the Earth Had Two Moons sounds really good.
Thanks for stopping by Long and Short Review’s post earlier.
I’m a huge fan of science books. I think I need to look for Turning to Stone: Discovering the Subtle Wisdom of Rocks .
A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century: Evolution and Challenges of Modern Life sounds so interesting! I should read more science books this year 😊.

Awesome, brainy list! I just bought Turning to Stone after seeing it here. 2026 looks like a stimulating year for you! My 2026 most anticipated list is here if interested .
