I have to say it. We are approaching 2024 already? Time has flown by so fast! I’ve just about hit my reading goal of 200 books this year, although I may fall short by a couple. When I was on Goodreads checking that out I thought I’d take a look at the January book releases to see how I would start off my year. Below are my top 5.

#5 BOOK RELEASE

Some people may have this one higher on the list but with a page count of 848 I’m kind of dreading the amount of time it will take to read. While not as good as some of her other novels, I’m still committed to this series so I know at some point in 2024 I will get started. I do want to see how these characters are going to recover from what happened in the second tome.

#4 BOOK RELEASE

Jill Shalvis is aways my go-to when I don’t want to take a chance that I’ll dislike the book I’m starting to read. Her sweet romances solid friendship stories satisfy my reader’s brain. This series is more women’s fiction than romance but I really like the community she’s built and can’t wait to read this one.

#3 BOOK RELEASE

While I am way beyond the demographic for the young adult genre, I’ll admit to keeping an eye out for a synopsis that peaks my interest. This opposites attract plot looks like fun!

#2 BOOK RELEASE

Yep! I’m a historical romance fan. Especially when it’s a new novel from Mimi Matthews. Her characters are always diverse, and she tells their story in a very realistic way that keeps me coming back to pick up her next novel.

MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK RELEASE FOR JAN’24

This writing duo does not disappoint. A second chance romance with a rising star writing songs about each of her broken relationships. I can’t wait to read this second chance romance it looks so good!

That’s it! My top 5. Does it match yours? Happy reading everyone!
