January 2025 Most Anticipated

Another year is almost upon us!

2024 was chaos and did not go the way we planned at all. Having twins this year was not originally on my bingo card, but they’ve been a blessing all the same and the perfect addition to our family. Needless to say, the year went by in a flash. I’m hoping for a little less chaotic 2025 but with 3 under 3, it’s probably going to be another wild one.

Looking ahead to 2025 there are, as always, a tonnnn of new releases I’m looking forward to. I’ve already shared my Winter 2025 Most Anticipated list, but focusing more on January releases now. Some of my favorite authors, such as Grady Hendrix and Tracey Lange, have books coming out to kick off the year and while I have read a few of these already, most are sitting on my TBR.

The below twelve are my top picks for the month, and for your reference it was killer narrowing this list down to a dozen. I have copies of all of these beside Onyx Storm and have already read Beautiful Ugly, What Happened to the McCrays?, and She Doesn’t Have a Clue. I’ll be making my way through the rest of these over the holidays, so be sure to come back for full reviews.
