The following is a list of novels releasing in 2017 that I look forward to reading. My selection process may be a bit different than other “top upcoming novels” lists in that, to avoid spoilers, I have read very little about what the books themselves are about.
The Fiddlehead office will be closed for the holiday season until January 2, 2017. We would like to wish all of our readers, subscribers, and friends a happy holidays and all the best for a happy 2017!
