This list is great for my TBR but not so much for my wallet, haha. So many amazing-sounding books releasing soon. I know I will have to pick up a number of these.

Ok – I’m intrigued by Canadian boyfriend. Love these kinds of novels set in Canada. Great list! I know where to go when I need some inspiration.

This is a good list. I have 15 books on my list so far and was looking for more to add. I will check these out. Thanks for the roundup for a great 2024!
