February: the cold and dreary month before any semblance of spring. February is usually the most difficult month for me, a person incredibly affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder. I thrive in the sunshine, and Chicago February is brutal. But that’s where books come in! Read to the bottom today for a special giveaway for paid subscribers!
I had a hard time narrowing down my top picks this month, which seems odd for February, a usually quieter book month, but 2023 is not messing around when it comes to book releases.
Weekly book recommendations will always be free, but once a month, I send out roundup for paid subscribers of books being published that month that I’ve added to my TBR stack and am very excited about reading. There will be buy and preorder links (preorders are incredibly helpful for authors) for all books featured.
The HarperCollins Union is still on strike, and has been since November 10, 2022. Reading Under the Radar stands in solidarity with the union. No weekly book recommendations in this newsletter will be from Harper Collins until the union receives a contract. If you would like to support the union, they are raising funds to pay the workers while they are on strike.
And now for the February new releases I’m adding to my TBR immediately!
