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 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 BOTM Predictions
As the summer heat lingers and the back-to-school buzz starts creeping in, August often brings a curious mix of sun-drenched reads and introspective storytelling. It’s the perfect time for transitional fiction books that sit at the intersection of breezy and bold, comfort and complexity. August BOTM selections traditionally offer a blend of buzzy debuts, big-name…
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…

March 2025 BOTM Predictions
March is such a big month for publishing and there are so many good books coming out that choosing 2-3 books for each genre was not an easy task, but I did my best! I’ve read a few of my predictions so far but have copies of most of the others. I’m entirely backlogged on…
February 2025 BOTM Predictions
January is flying by and even with February being the shortest month of the year, the list of books I’m excited for releases in February is not short. Black History Month and Valentine’s Day both fall within February, so I expect to see a solid romance pick for the holiday, and potentially a handful of…
January 2025 BOTM Predictions
The publishing world is kicking off 2025 with a bang! The sheer number of books on my TBR that release in January is ridiculous, and so many of them feel like they would make excellent BOTM picks. With so many interesting books coming out in January, I think we’ll see mostly January releases, though I…

Better late than never right! Less than a month until our Twins are here and honestly, we are just swamped with getting things done and ready for their arrival. Extremely late with predictions for August, but the bonus is that I have quite a few confirmed picks, so if you enjoy SPOILERS send me over…
