This year was probably the fastest we ever decided on a list for the coming year. As you may recall, we decide on the list for 10 months (combining summer and winter holiday months). We also try to be timely about it so it can be given to gift givers, something we need, of course.
| Month | Title | Author |
| January | To Stop a Warlord | Shannon Sedgwick Davis |
| February | Where the Crawdads Sing | Delia Owens |
| March | The Hiding Place | Corrie Ten Boom |
| April | The Huntress | Kate Quinn |
| May | Dutch House | Ann Patchett |
| June/July | The Little Paris Bookshop | Nina George |
| August | Girl Left Behind | Jojo Moyes |
| September | Some Choose Darkness | Charlie Donlea |
| October | Secrets We Kept | Laura Prescott |
| Nov./Dec. | Life Studies | Susan Vreeland |
