I'm Looking Forward To
Happy New Year!! I hope everyone has had a great start to the year, whether it has been hardcore straight out of the gate or you are still easing into it. :)
With every new year, there is guaranteed a great flooding of new book titles that flows into everyone's headspaces and TBRs. You can look at Goodreads, Popsugar, Book Riot, various news outlets, TikTok, etc., etc... everyone has books they are anticipating for the year and are telling everyone else to anticipate this year.
For me, I honestly only have a small few that I'm going to share. I feel like the online conversations around books have exploded and there are simply too many things to keep track of at the moment, and far too many opportunities to be led astray. So I'm going into this new year of books mostly curious, and simply open to whatever may fall onto my lap. What's "popular" or "outrageous" or anything else...? I find it hard to take some of these collective judgements at face value anymore so I'm blocking out a lot of that noise. These are the small few that I have read the descriptions of (or in the JLA case, simply love her) and I am looking forward to reading when they come out. ~~~

I'm sure there will be more as I still have a lot of fantasy books from last year I need to read and whose sequels/next installments come out this year, but I don't want to put them on this list prematurely.
I'm excited for this upcoming year and can't wait to see what books surprise me and that I fall in love with!
Thanks for reading!
