January TBR ‘2020

These are one of my favourite blogs to write, and I will definitely be having this post up each month- hopefully be the first post for each month! Please let me know if you think I should combine it with what I had actually read the previous month.

My aim for the 2020 is read a minimum of 20 books! Now I know that is a super low target, ah its less than 2 books a month! But after the failure I had last year with moving out and helping care for my step daughter, I decided to set my sights low this year- as I have even more busy things planned.

That being said, I think how my TBR’s are going to work is I will pull out 3 books each month for that I plan to read- but not that I nessacarily plan to get through them all! This way it gives me options, plus its so hard to narrow it down to the correct number! Any books that I do not have hold of at the time of writing these TBRs wont be included, however that does not mean that I wont read them if they do arrive! Its just easier for me to determine my TBRs just from looking at my shelves for the time being! I will then tell you in the next month what I actually ended up reading- tell me how you like this done., Either in a separate post or as part of the TBR the following month?

Now with all my questions and explanations out of the way, I will get into the three books I have pulled out for this month.

The first is a book I started over the Christmas period when it first got sent to me. A fantasy sent to me by the lovely Tor, and one I definitely want to finish off at the soonest opportunity. Fate of the Fallen by Kel Kade- I am a just under 100 pages in currently, and its definitely one that got me hooked very quick!

Not all stories have happy endings.

Everyone loves Mathias. Naturally, when he discovers it’s his destiny to save the world, he dives in head first, pulling his best friend Aaslo along for the ride.

However, saving the world isn’t as easy, or exciting, as it sounds in the stories. The going gets rough and folks start to believe their best chance for survival is to surrender to the forces of evil, which isn’t how the prophecy goes. At all. As the list of allies grows thin, and the friends find themselves staring death in the face they must decide how to become the heroes they were destined to be or, failing that, how to survive.

Another which I have already started is my kindle book for the month, The Elite by Kiera Cass. This is the second book in the Selection series, and one that I just had to buy after I finished the first, I think Ive read the first chapter but that about it. It is proving to be an amazing series to reread.

Then finally is a short story collection,as I felt that this would be a good between appointments and just generally good for the busy month I have this January. Wonderland: An Anthology, is a collection of Alice in wonderland inspired short stories. Once again I have already read the first from this as well, and it certainly does not disappoint! This one is going to be staying in my handbag for me to take with me to my appointments and the like this month.

What are you reading this month? Are you doing any rereads, and what made you decide to reread them?
