Inspired by The Mil­lions’ Great 2014 Book Pre­view, I thought I’d cre­ate a Jew­ish-slant­ed winter/​spring 2014 book pre­view for JBC read­ers (obvi­ous­ly there’s some crossover). But before we begin, a lit­tle hap­py pub day” is in order for the fol­low­ing authors, who all have a Jan­u­ary 7th pub date:

As if those weren’t enough, the next sev­er­al months bring us a long list of incred­i­ble fic­tion and non­fic­tion by some our favorite estab­lished and emerg­ing writ­ers in the field. So, even if this polar vor­tex (!) forces (many of) us to remain indoors, at least we won’t run out of good reads (not that we were too worried …).
