15 Hot New Releases I Can’t Wait to Read in 2024

In 2023, I didn’t read quite as many books as I wanted to. Honestly, I just got so damn busy! But now that it’s a brand new year, I’m going to do my best to get back in the reading groove. And what better way than to make a list of the hot new releases for 2024?

So, with that in mind, here are the books coming out this year that are on my Can’t Wait To Read list!

15 New Releases To Read in 2024
