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.
