Happy New Year (and Happy Birthday to me – couldn’t resist!)
In 2017 I’m looking forward to reading a whole array of brilliant-sounding books (and I hope they live up to expectations)!
As much as I’d love to just pick a book from my bookshelf (or Kindle) at random because I fancy it at that time, I have a whole load of books that, for whatever reason (usually review deadlines etc), I prioritise each month. I do try to keep track of them all, and I’ve been really bad in the past at accepting too many book reviews or getting click-happy on Netgalley and ending up massively behind on posting my reviews because, though I love reading, sometimes life – including my job and actually seeing other people! – gets in the way.
So, here are my ‘to read’ books for January. Some I’ve already read so the reviews will be live on my blog in January (if you want to see what I thought now though, then check out my Goodreads here) but some are still to be read, so we’ll see if I manage them all!
Little Deaths – Emma Flint
The Beautiful Dead – Belinda Bauer
Watch Her Disappear – Eva Dolan
Kill the Father – Dazieri, Sandrone
The One – Marrs, John
The Fifth Letter – Nicola Moriarty
Behind Her Eyes – Sarah Pinborough
Good Me, Bad Me – Ali Land
The Book of Mirrors – E.O. Chirovici
The Girl Before – J P Delaney
What are you planning on reading / reviewing in the month of January?
Haha this is my life – both January and February reading is pretty much mapped out due to review copies – including several that I share with you!
The life of a book blogger eh! Though I wouldn’t have it any other way! ????
Me neither although I do wish I was a tad more disciplined!
I have Good Me Bad Me to read and want to read the Belinda Bauer. Some great books on your list. And totally appreciate what you are saying re: work getting in the way of reviews. Happens to me all the time.
Ahh glad it’s not just me! There’s not enough hours in the day sometimes! Happy reading in 2017 ????
I’m also reading Little Deaths and Good Me Bad Me 😀

Thanks just trying to write a review for ‘Good Me Bad Me’ which was an incredible read.
Wasn’t it! I struggled to write my review of it too, actually – I didn’t know where to start! I often feel like that with books I thought were amazing! Good luck ????
Thanks! 🙂
Love your TBR. Much of it mirrors mine – plus you’ve given me a few ideas.
Glad to hear it – that’s why I love reading these types of posts! ???????? happy reading!

Thank you – I will visit your blog now! Love discovering new blogs ????
