Looking Forward: April Releases

OH MY GOD HOW IS IT APRIL HOW IS IT MY BIRTHDAY MONTH HOW AM I OLD HOW IS TIME STILL PASSING WHAT IS TIME WHAT IS HUMAN LIFE WE ARE ALL DANDELION FLUFF WANDERING AIMLESSLY THROUGH THE SHAPELESS ANNALS OF TIME FLOATING TOWARDS THE INEVITABLE DEMISE OF ALL HUMAN LIFE

I am aging so gracefully

Ahem. Ignore that. Just...look at all the pretty books that release this month! My wallet cries. But it's birthday month so give me all the books, bitches!

The book of the month is a total no-brainer:

Looking Forward: March

It's March. March. What--how--I mean--where did the time--how did we---*SCREAMS INTO PILLOW*

Here are all the March releases I'm most looking forward to:

Looking Forward: February

WHAT THE HELL. Didn't I just write the January one of these?! What did I say, time, about moving so quickly? UGHHHH. Whatever. Get your wallets out, because February, like January before it, is going to stretch it to breaking point. Here are all the February books I'm most looking forward to:

Looking Forward: January

HAPPY (BELATED) NEW YEAR! Oh, blog. How I've missed you, blog and delightful blog readers. I hope everyone had a lovely holiday and and are not too terribly disappointed to be forced at knifepoint, kicking and screaming, out of your candy cane comas and into the harsh and blistering frozen tundra that is the unforgiving reality of a new year filled with thorny new problems and failed resolutions and...oh, I lost that rosy January 1st optimism very fast, didn't I? Blame my wicked cold. It has conquered my brain.

Anyway. It's January! A very epic January for book releases. Like, utterly epic to the point of being overwhelming and intimidating and oh god my wallet weeps. Without further ado, these are the January releases that I, personally, am most looking forward to!

Looking Forward: December

December is my favorite month of the year. I'm a total Who of Whoville. I'm all about cookies and hot chocolate and peppermint and carols and cheer, and crafts and baking and shopping and holiday movies. I'm Buddy the Elf's long-lost elf sister. I'm Tiny Timette. I'm Claymation.

Monica: You didn't buy presents yet? Tomorrow's Christmas Eve! What are you gonna do?
Chandler: Don't you have to be Claymation to say that?

So while December may be a slow month for new releases, to me, it's still the most wonderful time of the year.

Looking Forward: November

HAPPY NOVEMBER! I love November. I always feel more productive in November, be it the cool(ish, here in Los Angeles) weather coupled with big hot cups of coffee, or the arrival of NaNoWriMo, aka National Novel Writing month, which I partake in every year. Though ever November, I feel that panic that OMG THE YEAR IS ALMOST OVER HOW WHAT SO MUCH TO DO I'VE DONE SO LITTLE OH GOD I NEED A PAPER BAG TO BREATHE INTO
