Happy December! I can’t believe that we are almost to the end of the year *insert shocked emoji here*! I don’t know about you but I’m in the “make it through the next few weeks of work” stage! So My apologies on missing the first pub days of the month but better late than never!
This isn’t a big pub month, which is understandable since 2025 will be bringing a lot of new books in the first few months. Be sure to double check some of your anticipated reads cause while I’ve checked some, I did not double check all! Regardless, we are still getting some great books so lets get into this list!

Let me know here in the comments or on social media on Instagram @bookishgirlmagic (I’m posting here & there), Twitter @bookishgrlmagic (Keeping it random but still a good time), Threads @bookishgirlmagic (Posting when the mood hits me) and Clubhouse @bookishgrlmagic where you can find me mostly in book centered clubs/rooms (mostly on Tuesdays and Fridays) to chat with me.
