My January 2024 TBR

Wow! How exciting that I get to start thinking about all of the wonderful books that will be coming out in 2024! I have some wonderful books lined up for the next few months that I can’t wait to get started on. But first a quick look back. I almost completed my December TBR. I am almost done with my last ARC, but I still have a library book from the list that I haven’t started yet. But I still have a few days left in the month, so hopefully I will get that one at least started. I have four ARCs to read in January for books that come out in February, and then I have chosen four other books to read this month. As always the book titles are linked to their Goodreads pages.

ARC’s I Need to Reads 

The Tainted Cup is the first book in a new fantasy mystery series that looks very promising. The main characters are suppose to be a Holmes-Watson duo, which can sometimes be hit or miss for me. But I am hopeful it will be good.

The Bezzle is the next book in the Martin Hench series. I really liked the first book, so I’m hopeful that this one will be just as good. I almost always enjoy Cory Doctorow’s books so this is a safe bet.

I Only Read Murder is a cozy mystery that looked like it would be a good match for me. It is about an actress who used to play a detective on TV getting caught up in a real life murder mystery.

Under the Storm is a mystery thriller out of Scandinavia. It is written by a professor of criminology which I am hoping will give it a feel of authenticity.

Other Books I plan to Read

The Seven Year Slip is a contemporary fantasy romance with time travel. I didn’t read the blurb before picking this up at the library. I just grabbed it because I love Ashley Poston’s books and just knew this would be a good one.

Shadow Baron is the second book in the Burnished City series. I really enjoyed the first book, so I am looking forward to reading this one.

Dark Water Daughter is a pirate book. I think I am a little late to this party as I vaguely remember it being talked about a lot in the early part of the summer this year. Well better late than never. And this way I will have it fresh in my mind when the second book comes out next summer.

Upon a Frosted Star is a book I have been excited about for a while now. It is a retelling of Swan Lake, one of my favorite ballets. It seems to be getting good reviews, so I am hopeful that it will be wonderful.

A nice mix of old and new titles. The library books are all 2023 books I didn’t get to last year. I still have a few more of those that I need to read, hopefully in the next two to three months. I hope that you all have wonderful books that you plan to bring in the new year with. Until next time…

Happy Reading!
