January - May 2026 Book Release Radar | Book Lounge by Libby

Book Lounge by Libby is your cozy reading corner of the internet. Each episode invited you into candid and thoughtful conversations about books, writing, publishing and the trends shaping what we read (not to mention tons of reading recommendations you wont want to miss).

Book Lounge airs year-round, with two 10-week seasons each year, featuring publishing conversations on Mondays and paired book recommendations on Thursdays. We release 1–3 episodes per month between seasons. 

In addition to our seasonal episodes and content between seasons, we share a monthly release radar episode at the end of every month. In these episodes, we look at the books publishing in the next month and choose a handful we'd like to uplift and add to our TBR piles. Below you can find a complete round up of our picks from January through May 2026.

You can find episodes wherever you get your podcasts, and you can watch the video version of our show on the Libby App YouTube channel, Spotify, and Kanopy! You can find all our links here as well as under the podcast tab here on Libby Life!
