The final books of the year have dropped from Book of the Month, and quite a bit earlier than anticipated! Even though I like this month’s picks, I had a hard time deciding on which ones to add to my box. In part because I have copies of six of eleven of this month’s picks….

December 2023 Most Anticipated
December is my favorite month of the year! I adore Christmas time and all the holiday celebrations. It’s also my favorite time to take time off work, and just binge read on the couch, with a warm fire going. The last new releases for 2022 are coming soon. December is a pretty light month for…

The Professor
I didn’t realize that while it’s not a part of a series per say, The Professor is the second book featuring Marlitt Kaplan. If you’d like to read the books in order than pick up Lauren Nossett’s The Resemblance first than more on to The Professor. However, I have yet to read The Resemblance, and…
