A quick perusal through the upcoming books for 2019 yielded some very interesting titles. Here are the ones that I’m looking forward to the most. But first, a couple quick observations:
- Houghton Mifflin Harcourt is killing it this year!
- It seems there’s always one day on which several good books are coming. That day this year is April 2.
