2025 Book Releases!
Well hello there pocket friends! I’m dusting off the old blog once again – I can’t believe it’s been literally 9 months since I last posted. Well okay yes I can, I’ve always been Not Great at consistently posting on here. Maybe that will change in 2025? No promises though. In any case, I made a list of 2025 book releases that I wanted to share on here! I’ve already posted it on Instagram, so you may have seen it there. Here I’ll add the Goodreads links for you too, so you can easily add them to your shelves if you want to 😉. So let’s dive in!
The graphics have some icons to denote genre, age category, and if the book has queer rep so here’s a legend for that! I tried to note each book that I know has queer rep, but of course I could have missed some. So let me know if I have!
