Reading Update | January

So, my TBR has changed up a little bit this month. There were some books that have taken me a bit longer to get through and I’ve also added a new one to my list!

Batman: Nightwalker | Marie Lu

I finished this one about a week or so ago. It turns out that I really enjoyed it. Marie Lu did an excellent job bringing a fresh, new perspective to the Batman storyline. I’ve been mostly keeping up with my reviews for this month. You can see my review for this one here!

The Hazel Wood | Melissa Albert

This was my most recent read. My review is already posted. I really enjoyed this one despite its confusing nature and slow build-up. The Alice in Wonderland vibe and gorgeous writing encouraged me to rate this one fairly high!

Ok, hear me out. I can explain why I’m reading three books at the same time!

The Upside of Falling Down | Rebekah Crane

I received this book from Netgalley and I have to read and review this one before its release date on January 30th! So far it’s all right. The premise is interesting but I’m not 100% sold on the romance and characters just yet. At least it’s taking place in Ireland!!!

Unearthed | Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner

I’ve been wanting to read this one since discovering it. The moment I had it in my hands, I began reading. So far it’s REALLY good! It’s been a while since I’ve read a good sci-fi. The last one was Gemina. I can’t compare the two just yet, but we’ll see!

Call Me By Your Name  | André Aciman

There are several reasons why I’m reading this book: 1) I saw the film adaptation of this and FELL IN LOVE. Timothée Chalamet is spectacular and the direction of this film was glorious. I love everything about the movie 2) I saw it with a friend of mine and he and I both became curious about the book 3) At the same time, we were trying to find a good book to start off our Starbucks bookclub. So that’s how this one ended up on my reading list. I’ve read part one and I have to say it’s much more explicit and strange than I thought it would be. But I like it! Gotta see what the rest of the book is like. But for now, I can honestly say that I might prefer the film over the book!

Honestly, those three books will probably take me to the end of the month, but just in case I magically manage to finish all three, here are two more books I’m looking to read this month or right after I finish the three above!

I’m leaning mostly toward The Cruel Prince because I LOVE Holly Black and I’ve heard so many amazing things about the book. But I’m really excited for both! I’ll probably get to them first thing next month, though. Sadness 😦 So many good books, so little time!

That’s all for now! Thanks for stopping by and I’ll see ya soon! ❤
