Every month, there’s a flood of new mystery and thriller books coming out clamoring for a spot on your TBR. But with so many competing for your attention, it’s easy to lose track of the ones you’re most excited about. And often, you just end up hearing about the titles with the biggest marketing budgets.
So, how do you keep up with new releases without it spiraling into a part-time job of catalog reviews and spreadsheets? That’s where the New Release Index comes in.
The New Release Index is a database of upcoming books, curated by Book Riot. It’s organized by release date, and you can filter by genre: above is a sneak peek of some of the mystery and thriller books out soon.
Here’s how it works: scroll through the covers until you find one that catches your eye. Click on the cover for the book description, and then save the titles you’re interested in on your Watchlist.
