2024 Pocket Books Challenge - hosted by acarter

2024 Pocket Pick selection
Have you heard about Pocket Picks, our fantastic monthly subscription service???

We're reading hundreds of books prior to release so that each month we select the perfect novel for our subscribers. Each month, we select a new release by an early-career author (either their debut novel or a release from an author who hasn't yet gained their requisite notoriety) and send it to you upon its release.

You don't have to subscribe to fulfill this prompt--you can just grab a copy of any of our picks!
