What are the Best New Books Coming in February 2018?

Published by Pamela Thomas-Graham

New month, new books! Book Light is our Dandelion Chandelier curated list of the titles we’re most excited about for the coming month. February 2018 brings a wave of debuts and the return of some well-loved voices. Not surprisingly, the month that celebrates Black History in America and Valentine’s Day sees tales of race, love, struggle and anguish – and occasionally, hard-won triumph. There are stories of being lost, both physically and spiritually – and being found, including an artist’s curated volume of her own rediscovered works. There are quests for justice, for true love, and for personal improvement – and also a killer book of style, and a really healthy cookbook. Here’s our pick of the top new books – novels, essay collections, and non-fiction – that we cannot wait to read in February 2018. Stock up on bulbs for your reading light – with a list this good, we’re all going to be up late.

And when you think about it, the arrival of the new year is irrelevant when determining which books are worthy of spending time with. What difference does that make? Plus, the passage of time proves to be a pretty good arbiter of what’s a truly great read — …
