Another month has flown by which means it’s time to look at the new releases that have caught my eye for January. Were you lucky enough to get bookish gift vouchers for Christmas? Do you like spending them on pre-orders or catching up on backlist titles you’ve missed? I must admit, I’m a bit obsessed with pre-ordering books, it’s like a gift to future me!
