There was another flurry of new books over the holiday period (review copies, purchases, and Christmas presents), so I actually have enough books already for two of these posts… I’ll publish the second one in a week or so.

Did you get any good books over the holidays? Anything in particular on your radar for 2025? Feel free to share in the comments.

Another new books post, arriving pretty soon after the previous one — usually it takes a little while to acquire 12 new books, but I guess a few publishers are having an end-of-year push to get 2025 titles out to reviewers (not complaining!).
