Waiting on Wednesday #763, December 24th

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating!

Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!, Vol. 15 by Yuu Toyota 
Expected Publication: January 20th, 2026
From Goodreads:
It’s A thirty-year-old virgin gets more than he bargained for when his newfound magical power reveals he’s the object of his male coworker’s affections!

Troublesome client Tachibana, who has a thing for Adachi, is pulling out all the stops to steal him away! After almost falling for one of Tachibana's tricks, Adachi asks Kurosawa to teach him some street smarts in all matters of love! Will he learn to set clear boundaries with Tachibana? At the same time, a sneak shot of Tsuge and Minato goes viral right before Minato's dance group is set to debut! Minato wants to just tell the world that they're dating, but Tsuge has worst-case scenarios on the brain. When misunderstandings ensue, can they manage to straighten things out?

Twelve Months by Jim Butcher
Expected Publication: January 20th, 2026
From Goodreads:
Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only professional wizard, has always managed to save the day—but, in this powerful entry in the Dresden Files, can he save himself?

One year. 365 days. Twelve months.

Harry Dresden has been through a lot, and so has his city. After Harry and his allies narrowly managed to save Chicago from being razed, everything is different—and it’s not just the current lack of electricity.

Harry lost people he cared about in the battle, and that’s the kind of loss that takes a toll. Harry being Harry, he’s doing his best to help the city and his friends recover and rebuild, but it’s a heavy load. He needs time.

Time is one thing Harry doesn’t have, however. Ghouls are prowling Chicago and killing innocent civilians. Harry’s brother is dying, and Harry doesn’t know how to help him. And last but certainly not least, the Winter Queen of the Fae has allied with the White Court of vampires—and Harry’s been betrothed to the seductive, deadly vampire Lara Raith to seal the deal.

It’s been a tough year. More than ever, the city needs Harry Dresden the wizard—but after loss and grief, is there enough left of him to rise to the challenge?

A Heart So Green by Lyra Selene
Expected Publication: January 20th, 2026
From Goodreads:
Once in a land of swan princesses and star-touched changelings two sisters were on opposite sides of a war. The cost will be high but balance must be struck in this heart-pounding and enchanting conclusion to this internationally bestselling romantasy trilogy. 

After the explosive finale of the Tournament of Kings, Fia and Irian manage to escape to the wildlands, dodging pursuit by her cunning sister Eala. With Fia locked in her own mind, battling a powerful celestial entity, Irian must form new alliances to come up with a plan to defeat Eala’s terrifying magic.

With both the human and fae realm under threat, Eala's rampage must be stopped, no matter the cost. On Bealtain Eve, when the veil between worlds is at its thinnest, Fia and Irian will finally face off against the swan princess and forge the ending to their love story that was written in the stars.

Better the Devil by Erik J.Brown
Expected Publication: January 20th, 2026
From Goodreads:
A harrowing, edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller about a queer homeless teen who, in a bid for safety, assumes the identity of a boy who went missing ten years ago...only to find that his new home is anything but a safe haven—from All That's Left in the World author Erik J. Brown!

Perfect for fans of Karen McManus, Holly Jackson, and Ryan La Sala.

When a runaway teen is arrested for shoplifting, he's desperate not to be sent back to the hyper-religious parents he knows will never accept him. While at the police station, he notices a resemblance to the aged-up photos of Nate Beaumont, a child who went missing ten years ago—and, in a moment of desperation, he takes Nate’s identity in hopes that it will help him make a quick getaway. 

Before he can run again, Nate’s family arrives and welcomes him home to a life he never had. As "Nate" watches and waits for his chance to escape, he finds that the Beaumonts are nurturing and loving, very different from his own parents.

But soon unsettling things start to happen—vandalism, alarms going off in the middle of the night—and it becomes clear that someone knows "Nate" isn't who he says he is...and that the real Nate wasn't kidnapped, but murdered.

As he starts to unravel the mystery, he gets ever closer to the devil he may know—and learns he might be their next victim.

Oh, these are books that I'm just dying, I just found the Cherry Magic series recently and become obsessed, and I need this next volume and all the other books to be out, since I have the rest as ARC's. What about you guys? Happy reading!

OK, so I got  posts in 7 days, and it was a pretty great week of vacation, I really got obsessive with the manga again, Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!, and that was basically all of the week, multiple times and multiple formats, but while I wish I got more done, I can't regret my decision there, because it was just that good and enjoyable and brought me such entertainment and laughter, which I need since losing Jax is still hurting 3 months later, and probably will for the next year. What about you guys? Happy reading!

So this week I want to read whatever I want!

From Goodreads:
It's A thirty-year-old virgin gets more than he bargained for when his newfound magical power reveals he's the object of his male coworker's affections!

Adachi, a thirty-year-old virgin, discovers he has the magical power to read the minds of people he touches. Unfortunately, the ability just makes him miserable since he doesn't know how to use it well! And to make matters worse, when he accidentally reads the mind of his very competent, handsome colleague, Adachi discovers the guy has a raging crush on none other than Adachi himself! Things are about to get VERY awkward!

It's A thirty-year-old virgin gets more than he bargained for when his newfound magical power reveals he's the object of his male coworker's affections!Businessman Adachi turned thirty a virgin, and now he's a wizard who can read the mind of anyone he touches...which is how he learned that his handsome coworker Kurosawa was in love with him! Inexperienced Adachi was initially bewildered by Kurosawa's intense feelings, but after being exposed to Kurosawa's genuine affection, Adachi finds Kurosawa on his mind a lot more often than he'd care to admit these days! Will the upcoming staff business trip turn into a trip for two for Kurosawa and Adachi?!

Ever since he was blessed (cursed?) on his thirtieth birthday with the magical ability to read the minds of those he touches, virginal office drone Adachi has been put through the ringer, especially after discovering his colleague Kurosawa's feelings for him! And just when it seems like Adachi might be able to take his friendship with Kurosawa to the next level, Adachi's complex about not having any romantic experience gets in the way. Unfortunately for Adachi, taking things nice and slow is out the window when it turns out the two of them are going to be sharing an apartment!!

After being wooed within an inch of his life by the tenacious Kurosawa, Adachi is at last on board with his feelings for his handsome, kind colleague and has come around to the idea of Kurosawa as his very first significant other. But now that the pair are officially an item, Kurosawa is chomping at the bit to do all the couple stuff he's been dreaming about, including dating! There's just one little problem: Adachi, the 30-year-old virgin, has never even been on a date!

It's complicated: A thirty-year-old virgin gets more than he bargained for when his newfound magical power reveals he's the object of his male coworker's affections!

But Adachi is stressed, and for once, it's not just romance that has him angsting! Conflicted about keeping his wizard self a secret from Kurosawa, Adachi waffles and frets, looking for the right moment to let the cat out of the bag.

Before he can make a decision one way or another, however, Kurosawa's birthday arrives! And when a misunderstanding forces Adachi's hand, will the big reveal be a make (love)–or–break (up) moment for the pair?!

As for Tsuge and Minato, it's their six-month anniversary! They decide to rent motorcycles and spend a day touring around together, which proves to be the perfect opportunity for them to get a whole lot closer…
