The excitement of revisiting favorite books and discovering new authors is palpable. Among the anticipated titles are 'Can You Keep a Secret?' which adds a dash of intrigue, and 'Pestilence' by Laura Thalassa, offering thrills that are hard to resist.

A person holds a stack of books, including 'Assassin's Quest', 'The Burning God', and 'Immortal Dark'. The image has text overlays 'My January Hopefuls' and 'SWIPE', indicating a book-related post.

The book cover for 'The Burning God' by R.F. Kuang is displayed, surrounded by text describing it as fantasy, the 3rd book in the trilogy, grim-dark, and featuring war/politics and shamanism.

The book cover for 'Infernium' by Keri Lake is shown, with text highlighting it as the second book in the Nightshade duology, a gothic romance with angels and demons, set in a mental asylum in the underworld, and available on KU.

The plan for 2025 is to finish all the books I started in 2024 but didn't finish. 😅 Which was way too many 😬! I have plans to start brand new series in February, so I really got to get this TBR under control! 😅 Here's what I'm finishing up this month: Immortal Dark by Tigrest Girma-
