My 2020 reading is already overwhelming and it’s only February. There are so many great books coming out this month, and luckily I’ve already read a few of them!

Two of my favorite books of the year are coming out this month: Foul is Fair, a Macbeth retelling with serious teeth, and Of Curses and Kisses, a boarding school take on the Beauty and the Beast fairytale. There’s also Yes No Maybe So, the new book by Becky Albertalli and Aisha Saeed which is great for political readers, even though it’s a bit heavy-handed on the liberalism. I’m also very excited for the new Lucy Knisley comic, even if I don’t have kids!
