Bookish News | March 2018

Welcome back to Bookish News! Here’s the news that I have gathered over the month of March.

Please let me know of any news that I missed in March and I am more than happy to update this post. Also, let me know of any other sources that would let me know of Authors’ news such as a new book deal, cover reveals, etc. Thank you!

Every link that I have posted below is to the actual news, actual trailer, other author’s twitter, or different sources. If you see an image, most likely, it will have a link to its Goodreads page or its source.

EDIT: I’m so sorry this post is two weeks late. I’ll try my best to get April News on the 1st day of May.
