February 2024 Most Anticipated

Almost through the first month of 2024 and where has the time gone. It’s also time to look forward to all the new releases hitting shelves in February. January and February are my favorite time of the year to read, since it’s normally the coldest months of the year, it’s the perfect time to curl up on the couch and binge read anything and everything! If only toddlers agreed with this decision.

February may be the shortest month of the year, but it’s not lacking in fabulous new releases. I’m so behind on my reading lately, that I’ve only read one February release so far, but I do have quite a few lined up on my TBR over the next two weeks, so be sure to check back for full reviews soon for some of them.

While I want to read basically everything on this list, these are the top 13 I’m looking forward to the most. I have copies of all of these and have finished two and almost finished another 3. Lots of fantasy and magical books on my TBR this month.

So far I have read The Women by Kristin Hannah which is AMAZING and I can’t stop singing its praises. Highly recommend.

In the past I have loved books by Katherine Arden, Yangsze Choo, & Melissa Albert and I was excited to get ARCs of each of those. I’ve also heard nothing but good things about The Book of Doors, The Hidden Life of Cecily Larson, & A Fate Inked In Blood so very excited to get to these 3 as well.
