January reads, 2025

I ended up reading a lot more than I expected what with all sorts of other stuff going on during weekends and a busy month at work.

  • Holly Black was a bit of a disappointment – I expected more enchantment, but the books were all deception, scheming, violence, and ugliness (meaning the atmosphere etc.).
  • Deanna Raybourn – Lady Julia Grey was not quite as fabulous as the Veronica Speedwell series was, but excellent reads in their own right.
  • Emily Henry is nothing if not guaranteed feel-good.
  • Paris Hilton’s story is, I don’t know. I have no words. Just read it.
  • Lola Glass’s supernatural smutty romance stories were quite fun.
