Welcome to my January TBR! As we step into the new year, it's the perfect time to explore new fantasy worlds through books. This month, I have curated a list of captivating fantasy novels that promise to whisk you away on thrilling adventures. Starting off, 'Delicate Escape' by Catherine Cowles offers an emotional journey intertwined with romantic elements that will captivate your heart. 'Out on a Limb' by Hannah Bonam-Young explores the beauty of personal growth through challenges that resonate with readers. Be sure to check out 'Consider Me' by Becka Mack for a balance of heartwarming romance and fantasy intrigue. In the realm of fantasy, Kerri Maniscalco's 'Kingdom of the Wicked,' along with its sequels 'Kingdom of the Feared' and 'Kingdom of the Cured,' addresses themes of family, betrayal, and power in a dark and immersive setting. Brandon Sanderson's 'Mistborn' series is a must-read for fans of high-stakes magic and political intrigue, perfect for a deep dive into intricate world-building. Rebecca Yarros brings her magic with 'Fourth Wing,' 'Iron Flame,' and 'Onyx Storm,' which combine rich storytelling with exceptional characters in a way that readers crave. Each book on this list is not just to be read but experienced, making them essential additions to your January reading list. Happy reading and let’s dive into these adventures together!

A collage of six book covers for January 2025, including 'Blood Cruise,' 'Will Only Hurt for a Moment,' 'Boy Parts,' 'And He Shall Appear,' 'Night Film,' and 'An Academy for Liars,' set against a bookshelf background.

The book cover for 'Blood Cruise' by Mats Strandberg, featuring a blood-splattered corridor. Text describes a deadly booze-cruise between Sweden and Finland, recommended by Jordaline.

The book cover for 'And He Shall Appear' by Kate van der Borgh, showing a face with a snake. Text describes a dark academia novel about obsessive friendship and untimely death.

here's some books I am hoping to read in January. I am focusing on my physical tbr instead of buying new books. my goal is to only keep four and five star reads in my home library. as they say, book buying and book reading are two separate hobbies. #moodreader #moodreading #read
