January is flying by and I am painfully late to the prediction game this month. Even though Aardvark is great about giving us hints each month so we know what the picks will be before they ‘go live’, I thought it would be fun to start putting together my own predictions based on my reading and experience with Aardvark, so we can be even more prepared. This will be my first month doing predictions for Aardvark and if you have recommendations on format or what you’d like to see, feel free to contact me!
Unlike some other book clubs, I feel that Aardvark is a bit more of a wildcard when it comes to their picks. I don’t feel that they every have a set formula for the genres they pick, but I have noticed the books all tend to have similar ‘vibes’ or similar themes and tones. While they’re also featured some well-known authors, I find that their books tend to be more on the edgy or experimental side and showcase more less known authors. Because of this, I’ve listed my predicts all together instead of breaking them out by genre.
I’ve read 2 and am currently reading a few of my predictions, but I do have quite a few ARCs to get through, so be sure to come back and check out my reviews. I also have one confirmed spoilers, if you’d like to know the confirmed picks send me a DM on Instagram (@speakingof.books ), TikTok (@speakingof.books) or comment below.
Whether or not these are actually picks, only time will tell. Even if they are not, all or most of these are on my February Most Anticipated New Releases list and my Winter 2024 Most Anticipated.

When the picks are announced and you find you have space in your box still, make sure to also check reviews of all past Aardvark Books that I’ve read HERE or check out my list of all the 2023 picks I read HERE, because who couldn’t use even more books!
Keep in mind that these are simply predictions and books I hope get chosen. I could get these completely wrong but the anticipation and guessing is part of the fun right?!
February 2024 Predictions
The 2 books I’ve read so far are The Fortune Seller and The House of Last Resort and both gave me big Aardvark vibes just based on their overall atmospheric setting. I have reviews for both below to give you an idea on how I enjoyed them. I’m also currently reading The Antique Hunter’s Guide to Murder, and will have a review up soon.

The Other Valley and Greta & Valdin both sound up my alley so I’m really hoping to see those two as picks as well!
