I’m going to be honest, I have no idea what we’re looking at for December picks. With December being a low publishing month and the tendency to pick a ‘lookback’ option or an option published earlier in the year, it’s a tossup what we’ll probably see. I’m hoping we at least get one Christmas/Holiday vibe book, but otherwise I’m just tossing things at the wall and hoping they stick this month.
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 ever 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 predictions all together instead of breaking them out by genre.
Whether or not these are actually picks, only time will tell. Even if they are not, all or most of these are on my December 2025 MOST ANTICIPATED list and my Fall 2025 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?!
