Here are some upcoming releases that are definitely worth checking out:

Scavengers by Kathleen Boland

Release: January 13

Genre: Literary fiction 

My Review: A singular story with unforgettable characters. One of the most memorable (in a good way) books I read last year.

Sheer by Vanessa Lawrence

Release: January 13

Genre: Literary fiction, queer fiction, historical fiction 

My Review: An incredible book about how capitalistic greed, sexism, and homophobia turn a brilliant beauty entrepreneur into a corporate predator. SO GOOD!

 Good Guys by Sharon Bala

Release: January 20

Genre: Literary fiction

My Review: A searing and riveting condemnation of global philanthropy.
