So many new releases heading our way!

Super quick reminder – these are new releases on my own personal radar. You’re going to notice right away that there are some really big titles missing (Cassandra Claire, the next Leigh Bardugo, etc) and that’s because I’m not personally reading those series.

And sorry if you’re one of the 3 people who accidentally saw this nearly empty post on Saturday… my bad 🙈
