Task 1: Read a 2025 release by a BIPOC author.

I'm going to read the fourth book in the Cash Blackbear series by Marcie R Rendon. I have it on pre-order for March.

I'm planning to read Glory Daze: A Glory Broussard Mystery by Danielle Arceneaux, the second in the Glory Broussard Mystery series.

I'm not entirely sure about this one yet, since I only have a few 2025 releases on my radar right now (it's funny, I have as many 2026 anticipated reads that would fit this task as I do 2025). I'm definitely considering The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones and They Bloom at Night by Trang Thanh Tran.

The second book in the Vera Wong series by Jesse Q Sutano comes out in April!

The Library at Hellebore

I've asked my local library to purchase Melaleuca by Angie Faye Martin, an Australian First Nations author. It will be released middle of 2025.

I'm reading Good Dirt by Charmaine Wilkerson for this one.

K, your list is a boon! Thank you for making it.

I'm looking forward to I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I'm Trapped in a Rom-Com

I think I'm going to read The Buffalo Hunter Hunter for this one.

I'm keeping this fairly open and will keep an eye out for local (Australian) releases throughout the year, but there are a few authors I like with new books coming out.

Somadina by Akwaeke Emezi

Katabasis by R. F. Kuang
