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 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…

June 2025 | BOTM Predictions

Summer is right around the corner, which means it’s officially time for sunshine, iced coffees, and the ultimate bookworm dilemma—what to pack in that beach bag! As always, I’m here with my June 2025 Book of the Month predictions, because nothing says “start of summer” like trying to guess which new releases are going to…

May 2025 | BOTM Predictions

Welp, I sat down to put my predictions together last week and ended up never finishing them; but that is life with a toddler. Anyway, I don’t have any spoilers at this moment but DM me later on this month and I’m always happy to share once I know. May in general has a massive…

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…

February2025 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…

August 2024 BOTM Predictions

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…

May 2024 | BOTM Predictions

Welp, I sat down to put my predictions together last week and ended up never finishing them; but that is life with a toddler. Anyway, there are quite a few confirmed May picks already floating around already so while I’m adding them to my prediction list along with my other hopefuls, I won’t call them…

April 2024 BOTM Predictions

Well…April is shaping up to be a fabulous release month. I had a heck of a time narrowing my Contemporary and Literary predictions down, which is new for me. There are quite a few BOTM authors with books coming out in April, so while I don’t think we’ll see all repeat authors, it’s likely a…
