BOTM Hopefuls for December 2022

We know November just got here, but we have high hopes for December. Here are the books we’re hoping to see in our little blue boxes this month.

Literary Fiction
Amazon

I know it’s already a book club pick elsewhere, but we can hope.

Mystery/Thriller
Amazon

This one makes me think of Flicker in the Dark. It was one of my favorites this past year, so maybe this debut will get a chance.

Mystery/Thriller
Amazon

Is that the new Darby Kane novel? Yes it is!

Fiction
Amazon

This is listed as My Dark Vanessa meets The Queen’s Gambit. Of course we want to read it.

Fantasy
Amazon

As much as Kayla loved A River Enchanted, she will probably cry if they don’t offer up the sequel in December.

Fiction
Amazon

We need more novels about female friendships.

Literary Fiction
Amazon

This is written by a bestselling Italian writer, and it’s set on the island of Sardinia. We love books that allow us to travel to new places!

Historical Fiction
Amazon

This story is inspired by a real-life female spy in WWII, and it gives me serious Atomic Love vibes.

Historical Fiction
Amazon

I love books that like to jump around in history, and this book about a baby raised by a guild of Artisans is exactly that.

Murder Mystery
Amazon

We’ve had this blog for nearly two years now, and in that time Kayla has never once revealed her love of western novels. If BOTM does not pick up this western mystery about a brothel worker solving murders (written by a Pulitzer Prize winning author) Kayla might start a revolution.

Fantasy Romance
Amazon

Readers, we never seem to guess the romances that BOTM will choose. We’re no good at it. However, this novel about a girl born into a witchy family and inheriting no magic of her own might be just what we’re hoping for.
