January 2026 - Reads

Here is what I reads for the month of January of 2026. #januarybooks #blmanga #thrillerbooks #romancebooks #foryoupage

2/1 Edited to

January 2026 was a rich month for reading, filled with diverse genres ranging from thrilling narratives to heartfelt romance and captivating BL manga. One of the highlights was Alice Feeney's 'The Husband's Wife,' an audiobook described as 'phenomenal' and 'clever, twisting,' which kept me completely hooked. This thriller offers a fresh take on trust and secrets in relationships, making it a must-listen for suspense enthusiasts. I also delved into holiday-themed novellas like 'Saint Nick,' a spicy festive read that brought warmth to the colder days of January. The blend of romance and holiday spirit provided a joyful contrast to darker thrillers. For fans of manga, the works tagged under #blmanga brought an engaging and emotional storytelling style, adding variety to my reading habits. The inclusion of titles such as 'Love Tadano' and Yukiaki Uno's 'Touched' showcased the rich narratives found in this genre, balancing romance with deep character development. 'The Somber and Duology Book One,' which I found under the thriller section, was another gripping read that challenged my expectations and kept me guessing until the end. The complex characters and tightly woven plotlines make it an excellent choice for readers who enjoy intricate mystery tales. Overall, my January reading journey featured a well-rounded collection of books, each offering something unique. Whether you are looking for thrilling page-turners, emotional manga, or romance stories with depth, these picks cater to varied tastes and are perfect for starting the year with fresh literary adventures.

Favorite read of the month was definitely Fruit of the Flesh by I.V. Ophelia. If it’s not on your TBR, add it now. I wish I could start it over again. I’m currently working through the Four Horseman Series on my kindle, The New Jim Crow on audiobook, and Ghost Light on the physical copy. 🖤

I loved the concept of this book, but Idk if it’s the narrators or the writing but I found this very cringe. Both the main characters were infuriating and the dialogue during spicy time gave me the ick. Thank you to Netgalley and Tantor Media for this gifted ALC. ⭐️Overall rating: 2/5 #lemon8boo
