This is always the most difficult post to write for the blog. Choosing just one book per month that we’re most excited about? A truly Herculean task.
In a departure from our usual rules, though, we’ve chosen this time to let ourselves pick books we might have read ARCs of (although, in the end, this turned out to only be one…). Since just because you’ve read a book, doesn’t mean you’re not excited about it anymore, does it?
