We’re taking a planned winter break until the second week of January, but before we go, our editors wanted to share some of our most anticipated books coming out during the first few months of next year. We hope everyone has a restful holiday season and look forward to talking more about many of these titles in our reviews, interviews, columns, and newsletters in 2024.
Happy reading, friends!
