November 2024 Book Releases
November’s rolling in, and so are the new book releases that’ll keep you warm when you refuse to leave your blanket burrito. From thrilling mysteries to epic fantasies, here’s your guide to November 2024’s must-reads. Get cozy, because your TBR is about to grow—again.
The Time Tournament Book Review
Lara Bronson’s The Time Tournament kicks off the Order of the Dragon series with a mix of time travel (love!), witches, dragon shifters, and a battle to the death, all set against the backdrop of real historical events in Eastern Europe. The premise is fascinating, blending fantasy with historical fiction, and I’m left curious and eager to grab the next book.
Into the Shadows: Dark Academia Book Recs
Who else loves books that make them want to wear turtlenecks, solve a murder, and brood in a library for hours? Here’s a list of dark academia reads to fuel your mysterious intellectual vibe!
Within the Embers Book Review
Within the Embers is a great continuation of T.A. Reilly’s Scattered Destinies series. Its mix of magic, high stakes, romance, and time travel, combined with a badass, relatable female main character; a swoonworthy male main character; and a cliffhanger that leaves you craving the next book, will appeal to fans of fantasy series like ACOTAR, TOG, and The Empyrean.
