Hey y’all! So my favorite month has made it way here (though it feels like it got here hella fast while also slow…iz my birthday month folx *cues airhorns*) and it’s giving us much to be excited about! With the way the weather has been acting all sorts of weird (not sure where you are in the world right now but in NY, this is our truth), we’re at least we are getting a bunch of books to curl up with while Mother Nature figures out if she wants us to experience, climate wise (I really hope she figures it out very soon).

how I feel about it being March now!

Before we get into this list, please remember to check the dates of the books you are anticipating because supply chain issues & last minute pub date push backs are still a thing *insert weary sigh here*. We’ve got a nice amount of books coming out so let’s get into it!

I really wanted to find another way to say “let’s get to it”, lol! But, hey, books ARE a business!
