Whether you enjoy a twisty murder mystery, a high fantasy, or a queer romance, December’s new YA releases have got you covered. Make sure you add these last-minute releases to your holiday wishlists…or plan on using up all those bookstore gift cards on these new books! Because of the end of the year slow down, this list isn’t quite as diverse as we’d normally like to see, so I definitely recommend checking out some of the best diverse YA books of 2022. Note: These release dates were accurate at the time of publication, but sometimes delays in the supply chain cause dates to shift. Double check release dates if you want to be absolutely certain of when a book will come out! Want more great YA releases? Check out our round up of November YA releases.
