November is almost here, which means it’s time to start guessing what Book of the Month is going to put in our blue boxes! November is a little bit of a weird release month. Like I mentioned in my Most Anticipated list, it’s VERY front-heavy as publishing starts to slow down heading into the holidays…

November 2026 Most Anticipated
November always feels a little different when it comes to new releases. With Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the general chaos of the holidays coming at us fast, publishers tend to load the beginning of the month and then things slow wayyyy down as we get closer to December. Honestly, I’m not mad about it. My 2026…
October 2026 Book of the Month
October is officially here, which means spooky season is in full swing, the cozy reading pile is growing, and of course, it’s time to see what Book of the Month has in store for us. And while October is usually the month, I’m hunting for anything creepy, mysterious, or just a little unhinged, BOTM’s lineup…
October 2026 BOTM Predictions
It’s time for my favorite monthly guessing game: October BOTM predictions! October is always one of the more fun months to predict because I’m hoping BOTM leans into a few spooky, atmospheric, or mysterious reads while still giving us the usual mix of romance, historical fiction, and contemporary fiction. There are so many good October releases this year that…
October 2026 Most Anticipated
October is here, which means it’s officially time for spooky reads, atmospheric stories, cozy nights, and a very ambitious TBR. And this month? The new releases are stacked.

September 2026 BOTM Predictions
September might be my favorite month to predict because it feels like the official start of fall reading. Publishers start rolling out their biggest books of the year and BOTM always leans into that cozy season energy with atmospheric picks, strong literary fiction, and the kinds of books you want to curl up with as…
September 2026 Most Anticipated
September! September might be my favorite reading month of the entire year, mostly because it’s also birthday season in my house: mine, my dad’s, my husband’s, my mother-in-law’s, and about three of my closest friends, all crammed into a couple of weeks. It’s basically a nonstop parade of cake, which means my actual reading time…
26 Most Anticipated for Fall 2026
There’s something about fall that just hits different for reading. The air finally cools off (eventually, if you live in Texas, more like “theoretically”), the TBR gets moodier, and publishers apparently know exactly what we need because September through November is absolutely stacked this year. Thrillers that feel better read with a blanket, romantasy with…
