Here at ŷ������ World Headquarters, we sort through��a lot��of books each month. Our monthly��Readers�� Most Anticipated Books��feature is exactly that—selections based on data about the books that ŷ������ members are placing on their��Want to Read��shelves. Essentially, these are the books that your fellow ŷ������ regulars are excited about.
��
Of course, the ŷ������ editorial staff gets excited about books, too. And we regularly come across specific new releases that we can’t wait to read—or “won’t shut up about,�� to borrow a phrase from the colleagues who sit right next to us.
��
As to be expected, there are always way more great books each month than we have time to read, so we’re passing our findings along to you, complete with genre tags, our unhinged commentary, and general enthusiasm. Think of this list as our intel on the books you might not be hearing about absolutely everywhere else, from two people who really, really want to help you find a great read.

December, as it happens, has turned out to be a particularly interesting month. Typically, the very tail end of the year is a slow patch for new releases, but there are tons of exciting books out this month. In the mix: dystopian visions in near-future Appalachia,��real-life reinvention in the Pacific Northwest, and the Black Panthers in Oakland circa 1968. Bonus pick: golem romance!
