Throwing Back The Chair (Phil Bova)
We Have Always Lived In The Castle (Shirley Jackson)
The Paying Guests (Sarah Waters)

So, in my on-deck circle for January, including the books I plan to read for my BookishFirst Bingo Card (I’m still looking for books to fill the Mistaken Identity and Heroine in the STEM Field squares, so suggestions are definitely welcome), I have the following books:
The Book of Koli by M. C. Carey (First in a Series)
The Jasmine Throne by Tashi Suri (Title Begins with a J)
The Wild Ones by Nafiza Azad (New-to-You Author)

Honestly my TBR is so long in GoodReads, saved on “To Read” shelf of my local library’s website, and what I’ve already have downloaded on my Kindle. I’m usually prioritizing Kindle Unlimited books before I end my subscription next month.
So I’m thinking to start with:
Breaking And Entering (Nancy O’Toole)
The Six (Anni Taylor)
Justice (Dustin Stevens)

I’m a mood reader so I never have a set TBR, but I’m hoping to get the chance to finish up Ali Hazelwood’s novella series (I only read the first one!), and finish my reread of Legendborn so I can finally start Bloodmarked!!

My goal for Jan is to finish reading 20 books.
I plan to finish several book I started reading in 2022: Unseelie by Ivelisse Housman, Skye Falling by Mia McKenzie, A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin, and Amulet of Wishes by Rita A. Rubin.
I plan to start (and finish): The Hermes Protocol by Chris M. Arnone, The Lost Continent by Tui T. Sutherland, The Past and Other Things That Should Stay Buried by Shaun David Hutchinson, Brave Face by Shaun David Hutchinson, and Roxy by Neal Shusterman and Jarrod Shusterman.
From there I’ll see what I have on the bingo board and read stuff to fill in a bingo.
