A wide range of books across many genres are being released this year, written by both veteran and debuting authors. With so many new books hitting the shelves, what should readers look for? Former teen television star Jennette McCurdy, who played Samantha Puckett on “iCarly,” released her memoir “I’m Glad My Mom Died” in 2022 and just released her debut fiction novel. The novel, “Half His Age,” is a coming-of-age story where a student falls in love with her married creative writing teacher.
