First of all, when I say, "January Books READ," that includes physical books, audiobooks, and E-books. No, that's not cheating. Some think it is cheating to include audio and ebooks, but I make the rules for my reading, and I say it's perfectly acceptable. :) There ya go.
I love reading. I can wolf down an audiobook in just a couple of days. Why? Because I'm listening while I'm multi-tasking like while I'm doing the dishes, folding clothes, driving, etc. E-books are great for reading in bed on my phone without having to have a light on. And holding a real book.... that's nice too sometimes. They are all good. They all get the job done.

Book 1: Fortune Teller (Miss Fortune Mystery Series #25) by Jana Deleon
If you have not read any of these books, oh my gosh what are you waiting for? I love these books!! Please start with Book 1, Louisiana Longshot. The books all have their own story, but you get to know the characters so well when you read them in order. I can't tell you how hard I laugh reading these. I hope she just keeps coming out with another and another one and another....
Book 2: A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham
If you like a who-dun-it with lots of people to choose from, this is for you. This book had those moments I wanted to pretend didn't exist, and it's not my normal kind of book to read, but I made it through and it was interesting. I would probably read another book by this author. Maybe. If children and dogs aren't harmed. Just not my normal cup of tea as they say.
Book 3: First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston
Okay! Now I'm back to a good old fashion hurry up and turn the page to see what happens next book. This book was incredible. You HAVE to read it. I kept thinking, "Okay, I know who did it." But I didn't. I kept changing my mind over and over again.... Loved it. Go read it now. Go. Do it. Why are you still here reading this? Don't you have a book to go get?
Book 4: The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth
What I liked about this book was the different characters' point of view. I loved how it switched back and forth even including a point of view from a dead character. This certainly kept the reading interesting. I liked it.
Book 5: The Fury by Alex Michaelides
This book was fantastic. I loved how the author started off making me think, wait, is this part of the book or him telling me something before I begin the book? It was great. The type of writing, the little things left out that later you had to go back and have filled in for it to make more sense, the way you kept thinking which way it was going to only be surprised by nope - you're wrong again. So good. So good. Read it now. Go get it. Now. Hurry up. You need this book in your life on your JUST FINISHED list. LOL
So that's where I am right now. Looking for my next read. I have a physical book I got from Book of the Month titled Mercury, that I'll start today. It will take me longer to read because it's a physical book which means I can't read it in the car. I can't read it at work obsvioulsy. I can read it on my lunch break, but probably not when I go to bed at night since I'd like a lamp on and that's no bueno with hubby trying to sleep before his 3:30 am alarm goes off. So we'll see how that goes. I may have to slip in an audiobook or e-book to read during the night without a light on.
Starting as soon as I get off this computer:
Book 6: Mercury by Amy Jo Burns
I'll let you know how it was when I finish!
Enjoy the rest of your day! Don't forget to check out Book of the Month with my referral link. And even you if don't, let me know what you're reading! It may be my next read too!!
Hugs!
