This year is going to have some of the most anticipated books on my list. To say that I’m excited would be an understatement. Just for the month of January, I managed to compile a list of 12 books that I’m looking forward to.
MY MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF THE YEAR
“Katherine Arden’s Winternight Trilogy isn’t just good—it’s hug-to-your-chest, straight-to-the-favorites-shelf, reread-immediately good, and each book just gets better.» – Laini Taylor
«The Winter of the Witch» is the third and final book in the Winternight Trilogy by Katherine Arden, set in the cold Russian wilderness, full of folklore references, historic events, and heartwarming magic.
It has been a tradition to read one book every winter, and I’m sad to see this series end. But still very excited for future Katherine Arden’s books.
Don’t forget to check out my reviews for «The Bear and the Nightingale» and «The Girl in the Tower»!
