Happy New Year! We're already a month into the year, but we are here to talk about some of our reading goals, anticipated new releases, and backlist titles that we are determined we are going to get to this year!

We also discuss our plans for the podcast and future of the Bookish Buzz brand for 2025 as well as a look at the 3 big bookish apps on the market. What do we want out of a bookish social app? Let's discuss.

So pop in your headphones and turn up the volume, because we are diving in!
