Unfortunately for Book of the Month members, December 2024 is another slow publishing month.
Traditionally, Book of the Month will have a previous month’s release, a holiday romance, and a January early release during December. This prediction list focuses on December 2024 new book releases. You can find holiday books releasing in 2024 here.
As usual, if you want to see even more predictions (including horror book releases coming in December!), make sure you check out my December 2024 Aardvark Book Club post!

If you aren’t familiar with Book of the Month, you can check out my full review of this subscription service. Each month, Book of the Month chooses 5-7 books from different genres and members can choose their pick when the books go live. You can also add on up to two more books for only $11.99 each. As of June 2023, BFF members can add up to four more books to their box.
If you don’t like any of the picks, you can choose to skip and save your credit for the next month, which is honestly the best part of this service to me. I don’t like subscription boxes that only offer one book selection that you don’t know ahead of time. If you are interested in trying Book of the Month, you can use my link to get your first book for only $5!
As usual, these are just my opinions and my Book of the Month predictions. It is fine if you disagree or think the Book of the Month December 2024 predictions are terrible-we all have different reading tastes. Please remember to be kind in comments or messages because we are all readers with different tastes!
