I am looking forward to Leaving and The Turtle House. I am also going to check out Grief is for People; I am super interested in grief since my Dad died when I was 15

I'm hearing great things about Grief is for people, I've also been drawn to books that explore grief since my grandma died a few years ago

Leaving sounds great! I hadn’t heard of it and I added it to my TBR!

As always, lots of great recommendations.

I’m looking forward to The Turtle House, grand-parent and or parent relationships are usually a win for me

I read leaving and wrote a brief review on BookBrowse and GoodReads. I’d love to discuss when you’re finished. I’m interested in picking up The Book of Doors and The Turtle House. Thanks for your recommendations. I always enjoy your posts.

I am looking forward to every fiction book on this list. Most especially Lone Wolf, Leaving-the book you are currently reading, The Road To Bell Haven, and The Turtle House. Thanks for the work you put into comiling this list. Can i really afford to stick to my New Year’s intention of slowing down my reading? Or, is the trick to be more selective in what i choose to read?

Lone wolf on audio is so good, I think you'll be happy with it! For me, I'm being much more selective in what I'm picking and dnfing with abandon

Thank you for these releases, Renee! I appreciate all you do to create such good content.

I read Turtle House and really liked it (4 stars). The grandmother/granddaughter relationship is a highlight.

I am very curious about Leaving! And I do want to read Grief is for People.

In your research for these February releases, did you come across any release dates for audiobooks? Two of the books that I searched for on Audible are not even listed.

Everything I research is just a general pub date, the audio usually releases the same day- which titles are they and I can check my specific audio sources
