New Releases Coming Out in 2023 with Shadow Mountain Publishing

At the start of the new year as I make my reading goals through the library and Goodreads, I start to figure out what I am going to read and what books to anticipate in 2023. This can help plan out library holds, birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, figuring out new trends, and more. It also helps to figure out books for the kids and new authors to introduce them too. I interviewed Shadow Mountain publishing to see what books they are releasing next year and what books to anticipate.
