I am so lucky that I receive advanced copies of books, either in digital or physical form, often getting them several months before publication. There’s an upside to this and a downside – although the downside is very small.
On the upside: BOOKS, BOOKS AND MORE BOOKS!
On the downside: I can’t really talk to people about them yet.
And so, I’m trying to get around that downside slightly by hinting at what books are to come in the New Year.
Please note I haven’t read all of these, and the ones I have read, I haven’t loved every single on, but I still appreciate being given the chance to read them. And I still want to mention them here as you never know, that one book I didn’t like, might just be the book for you!
Let me know what ones you are excited to read. ⬇️
