In this February 2026 Book of the Month predictions video, I’m doing what I always do when the calendar flips: I spiral (affectionately) over what BoTM might drop next month and what I’d personally pick, pass, or side-eye from the shortlist. I’m pulling from the titles that are floating around and talking through the vibes—thrillers that look like they want to ruin my sleep schedule, literary picks that could be gorgeous or devastating, and a few wildcards that feel like they’re aiming for “book club conversation starter” energy. I also run through the books I have on my radar—like Her Last Breath, The Girls Before, The Jills, and Warning Signs—plus a bunch of other possible contenders (Fireflies in Winter, Family Drama, A Good Animal, Kin, So Old, So Young, Where the Wildflowers Grow, Little One, Dawn of the North, Astral Library, and All We Have Is Time). If you’re trying to plan your box, your budget, or your next cozy reading sprint, this is basically me helping you pre-game your choices—no gatekeeping, just honest speculation and reader-to-reader chatter. Come hang out, and let’s figure out which picks might be worth the hype before the drop.
