Put on your seatbelt and helmet, because today’s megalist is going to make you explode with happiness! There are soooooooooooo many great books out today. Like eleventy hundred, at least. (I counted, using my fingers and my toes.)
It’s been a tough couple of months and I did not get to nearly as many as I hoped, but I’m finally getting back into my groove, so I hope to knock a bunch more off the list! And because I love you, I made you a big shiny list below, and you can hear about more amazing books on this week’s episode of the All the Books! Kelly and I talked about Bowlaway, Black Leopard, Red Wolf, On the Come Up, and more.
(And like with each megalist, I’m putting a next to the books that I have read and loved. But there are soooo many more on this list that I can’t wait to read!)
