Happy Monday bookish people! I hope you are all doing well today.
It is 2025! Can you believe it? 2024 was such a long year, both in good and bad ways and I am hopeful that 2025 will see better books and better things in general. Do you have any goals for 2025? Reading or otherwise I’d love to hear about them. A goal for me is to make progress in my series’, I have a habit of reading the first book, buying the whole series and then they just sit there on my shelves waiting for me to read them while I read newer and shinier ones instead. I want to do better with that this year.
Today I am bringing you what I will be reading in January:
Happy Friday bookish people! I hope you’re all having a good day today.
Today I am sharing what I hope to be reading during January 2024, let me know if you have read any of these books and what you thought of them!
Grave Expectations by Alice Bell
I am very intrigued by this book, I love a good murder mystery especially when they have something a bit different about them and this book definitely does. A traditional manor murder mystery with the twist of the investigator being a psychic, I am looking forward to reading it.
The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent
I am very excited to read this one. It sounds like a rich adult fantasy that I could get engrossed in easily.
The Book of Cold Cases by Simone St James
I have wanted this book for a while, I saw lots of people talking about it a while back. It sounds slightly spook but very interesting.
The Housekeepers by Alex Hay
This is another book I have wanted for a long time and I was excited to get it for Christmas. I am actually reading it right now, I am about 40 or so pages in and I am hooked. It is about a group of women who are all connected as they are or were once staff in this particular house on Park Lane and they plan to stage a heist in that house while a ball is happening. I love a good heist plot so I have high hopes for this book.
What Would Jane Austen Do?
To be honest I don’t know a lot about this book, I know that it follows two neighbors and one is a romance writer and one is a crime fiction writer, I think? That sounds intriguing to me but it’s not a book I think I am going to love, we shall see.
Manslaughter Park by Tirzah Price
This is the third book in the Jane Austen inspired murder mystery series and this one is based on Mansfield Park, following Fanny Price. I have loved the previous two books in this series so I hope I will love this one just as much.
Happy Monday bookish people! Welcome to my first post of 2023, I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year.
as we all know last year was definitely a rollercoaster, and I was extremely busy so reading took a backseat for much of the year. I am hoping this year that I will be able to read much more so fingers crossed.

The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi – I am really excited to read this book, I bought it with some vouchers I got for Christmas and it should be arriving today.

Killings at Kingfisher Hill by Sophie Hannah – I read one of the books in her Poirot series and enjoyed it so hopefully the rest of the series will be the same.
