Hello there! Let me preface this by saying that there is no real organization for this list because I genuinely just need a space to track upcoming anticipated titles. I'm really hoping 2024 is going to be the best reading year to date because so many authors I adore have books being published, some I've been hearing about for years that I cannot wait to finally get the chance to read!
