I thought I’d give you a Sneak Preview of books that are coming out in the next few months. Before I started renting Netflix, I used to go to video stores and I loved seeing their boards which listed films coming out in the next few months. It was always hard for me to decide what I wanted to see in the moment but looking ahead there were always films I had been waiting to see. So, I thought I’d whet your appetites for books that I’m excited about that are due out next year. This will be an ongoing list and certainly not inclusive as I have nearly finished the spring buying season buys and can’t go back and find the catalogs from publishers I bought from weeks ago. So, this list is just that, a list of books to anticipate and watch for on our shelves.
