A monthly meme to keep up with the latest publications, featuring advance copy reviews to look forward to reading.

There are too many exciting books coming out in January: Geek Girl: Picture Perfect, Anna and the Swallow Man, Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend, This is Where it Ends, The Radiant Road, and Moonlight Over Paris, to name a few. (Ha. A few.)

I’m going to do my best to read at least one of these ARCs for review ahead of publication date, but until then I’ve another ARC to share. Remember my flailings over a MG gothic detective mystery series? Well, another one’s coming out!

The Case of the Girl in Grey by Jordan Stratford
(Knopf BFYR, January 26)

The Wollstonecraft Detective Agency was supposed to be a secret constabulary, but after the success of their first case, all of London knows that Lady Ada and Mary are the girls to go to if you have a problem. Their new case is a puzzle indeed. It involves a horrible hospital, a missing will, a hasty engagement, and a suspiciously slippery servant. But Mary’s stumbled onto a mystery of her own. She spotted a ghostly girl in a grey gown dashing through the park. A girl who is the spitting image of their new client.

HELLO, ANOTHER WILKIE COLLINS BOOK IN MIDDLE GRADE FORM, THANK YOU.

What books are you looking forward to in January?
