November 2025 Book of the Month

November is the unofficially non-fiction month of the year. Maybe non-fiction November is official, I’m not sure, but it is the month I tend to focus on reading at least one non-fiction book, so I’m surprised we didn’t get a non-fiction this month, even though we did get Told You So by Mayci Neeley last…

Aardvark October 2025

As leaves turn and twilight arrives early, October invites us to cozy up with stories that thrill, haunt, and mesmerize. For this month’s Aardvark Book Club picks, it’s a curated lineup that balances shadow and sparkle, tales that speak to autumn’s mystery, from haunted houses and whispering secrets to witchcraft, fall romances, and atmospheric suspense….

October 2025 Book of the Month

October is the perfect time to get lost in a book that matches the season whether it’s eerie, heart-stopping, or swoon-worthy. This month, Book of the Month has curated a lineup that balances thrill and emotion, mystery and romance, and a little bit of magic for the crisp fall nights. From haunted houses to steamy…

Someone in the Attic

Someone in the Attic by Andrea Mara follows Julia, a woman who begins to suspect someone has been breaking into her home while her family is away. She hears strange noises, notices things slightly out of place, and becomes convinced that someone has been living in her attic. As paranoia grows, Julia struggles to protect…

October 2025 BOTM Predictions

October is shaping up to be such a fun release month, and I think BOTM is going to lean heavily into thrillers, witchy reads, and cozy fall romances…because that’s what I want to see. They do always like to balance a buzzy thriller with a big-name romance and at least one literary or historical pick,…

September 2025 Book of the Month

It’s that time again, Book of the Month has revealed their September picks! This month brings a mix of mystery, historical, speculative, and even a touch of spooky season to ease us into fall. There’s truly something for every type of reader, whether you’re in the mood for drama, cozy horror, or emotional storytelling. And…

September 2025 BOTM Predictions

September might be the unofficial start of sweater weather, but for readers, it’s the official kickoff to cozy season, when our TBR stacks get taller, our mugs stay full, and our reading pace suddenly doubles(hopefully). This month’s publishing lineup is stacked with twisty thrillers, heart-tugging romances, and atmospheric stories perfect for curling up with as…

August 2025 Book of the Month

August’s Book of the Month selections are here, and while there’s a little something for everyone—romance, YA, thrillers, and even a dose of true crime—this month’s lineup didn’t totally hit the mark for me. With a mix of buzzy debuts and familiar names, it’s definitely a solid collection, but nothing screamed “must-have” for my shelves…

July 2025 BOTM Predictions

Ahh, July, that sweet spot where beach reads, thrillers, and summer romances converge in perfect harmony. BOTM usually brings a mix of light, fun, twisty, and emotional this time of year, and I’m hoping this month is no different. As always, these are just predictions: part gut feeling, part publishing patterns, part wishful thinking, but…

Aardvark June 2025

June 2025 Aardvark Picks are here! And while it’s a solid lineup with some exciting titles, I’ll be sitting this one out. Why? Because I already own all of this month’s picks (yes, even the ones that haven’t come out yet ), and I’ve already read 2.5 of them. So we’re calling this a responsible…
