A bit late this month, partly due to the Holidays.
Books, like movies, tend to be minimalized in January. Publishing publicity departments slow down during December, and most big books are kept in reserve for promotion at Book Expo America in May. Self improvement and wedding books are popular, as stores promote “New Year, New You” titles, and holiday engagements drive wedding planning titles.
So, this month is a bit light. There are always some significant titles every month, so here’s the list for January. As always, the boilerplate:
Please be advised that publication dates are not set in stone. Also, your local comics shop might receive copies before your local neighborhood website or library. Links connected to publishers will link to the publisher’s website, sometimes to the exact title. Links for the ISBN-13 (also known as the Bookland EAN) will take you to the title as featured on BarnesAndNoble.com . I consider my tastes to be rather eclectic. If you feel I’ve neglected or slighted a title, publisher, or creator, please feel free to mention it in the comments below.
