all the books i want to read in january 🎉📚 a very ambitious tbr to start out the new year 😅

[@BasicallyNeda]

Sounds like you will have an interesting month of reading with all the different genres. 😊Hope you have fun reading them. ☺

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Thanks so much, I always love having lots of different genres to pick from! Hope you have a good reading month too 😊

[@Curious-Cat]

Yessss, I'm also so looking forward to Onyx Storm!!! That cliffhanger was a bombshell, I need to know what happens next! Ooooh, you're picking up Hello Beautiful?? Now I want to do it toooooo 😭 It's probably a bit ambitious as I have some thiiiick ones on my TBR already this month, but give me a shout when you're thinking of starting it and I'll see if I can fit it in as well so we can (maybe) do a buddy-read of it 😇 And yessss to the Fifth Season in the spring! That is indeed the plan ^^

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Yeah I couldn’t believe how it ended and desperately need to know what happens from here, haha. Yes I know that one is on your 2025 list as well!! I’ll definitely let you know when I’m wanting to start it and would totally be up for a buddy read if it fits in with your other books! I got the audiobook and have a couple other ones I’ll be listening to first so it might be towards the end of the month 😊 And sounds good for The Fifth Season, yay!

[@Lindseysbooknook]

This is a great January TBR! I also have the frozen river on my January TBR as well as 11/22/63, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, and The Eighth Detective!

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Thanks so much! Oh nice, unintentional buddy reading haha. I’m 75% into The Frozen River and really enjoying it! Addie LaRue is an all time favorite and I’ve been hearing so many good things about 11/22/63 that I really want to read it now!

[@DEBateBooks]

Happy new year Chelsea! 💕 those book challenges sound so fun, also having a series jar sounds like such a good idea, I might need to do that!!

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Happy new year to you too, Deb! Very excited for the challenges and the jar seemed very necessary, haha definitely recommend if you’re feeling overwhelmed by all your series 😂

[@Hasan_mahmud50]

Your TBR mix sounds fantastic. Wishing you an amazing reading journey, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on these books!

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Thanks so much, I’m looking forward to this month of reading! 😊

[@subhareadsbooks]

I love your videos - you're so calm, cool and collected.

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Aww thanks friend, that’s so sweet! I love your videos too! I’m 75% into The Frozen River and it’s been a bit on the slower side but also very engaging and I’ve enjoyed it a lot. Might be harder to get into for someone who isn’t generally a historical fiction reader, but it is really good! Full review to come later on, haha. Yes I’m very happy about the series jar and 💯 to reading our TBR this year! So glad I’m able to read The Wedding People and I hope I can get to Leviathan Wakes this month with all these books on this list! 😂

[@ChristelsTales]

i’ve been very curious about the ornithologist’s field guide to love, so i look forward to your thoughts! also giggled at you pulling the “books” prompt. happy reading!!

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Oh nice, that one sounds so fun and cute! Haha that made me laugh too, I don’t know why I put that in there 😂🤦‍♀️ Happy reading to you too!!

[@daniella-raye]

the way i laughed out loud when you pulled the prompt that just said ‘books’ 😂 this is such a great tbr! I’m so curious about so many of these books so I can’t wait to hear your thoughts. I’m reallly looking forward to the ornithologists one it sounds so silly and cute haha

[@LibrariesandLattes]

I’m glad it made you laugh, I keep rewatching it and laughing as well 😂😂 Couldn’t believe that I put that in there! Thank you, I’m very excited for these and am glad that some of them are on your radar as well! And I know right, I always love a silly, quirky book haha

[@cheekychapters]

I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on The Wedding People! I’ve been seeing it lately and plan on picking it up! Best wishes for 2025 ☺️

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Thank you! I just started the audiobook yesterday and it’s so good! The audiobook narrator is great and I’m really liking the writing. Definitely some sad and heavy topics but lots of dark humor too that mixes really well 😊 And best wishes for you too! 🎉📚

[@goodmornindreamer]

Such a great tbr! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on these books!

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Thanks so much, I’m excited for all of these! Hope you have a great reading month 😀

[@Sullisreading]

Oooh I love the mix of books this month!! I really want to read the frozen river but definitely nervous as I’ve never really read historical fiction. Wedding people has been so fun so far though I love that you were able to pick up the audiobook! I hope you have a great reading month 😊

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Thanks friend! Hmm, I’m 75% into The Frozen River and I’m definitely enjoying it but would say that it’s also a bit on the slower side which might be difficult for someone who doesn’t already love historical fiction. And it’s in the 1700’s so it’s very historical, haha. But I do still recommend it so far!! And yes loving the audiobook for The Wedding People and so glad that we both are able to read it this month! Right back atcha 😊❤️

[@Sullisreading]

@ hahaha hmm good to know! Could be worth stepping outside of my comfort zone just need to stay a little objective 😂 but me too!! 💕

[@LibrariesandLattes]

@@Sullisreading For sure! I finished it and definitely recommend it, especially since it’s about a woman who existed but was largely forgotten. I still think there were some slower moments and the mystery wasn’t like a fast paced thrilling one, but I really enjoyed the book overall!

[@Sullisreading]

@@LibrariesandLattes okay I appreciate this!! I am trying to slow down with some of my reading so this could be a really good fit :)

[@JessicasLibraryCard]

I'm so excited for you to try Leviathan Wakes! I hope you enjoy it. I said I was going to do Buzzwordathon too, but I already forgot about it for my January TBR - oops! I think you can do them out of order, right! I'm going to say yes. I hope you enjoy all the books you picked!

[@LibrariesandLattes]

I’m excited too, hopefully I can actually get to it this month! Haha well it’s never too late to join in on the Buzzwordathon, especially this early in the year! I didn’t realize you could do them out of order but that makes sense and you should totally jump in if you can 😊 Thank you, hope you enjoy all your books too!

[@itsmimiduong]

Happy New Year!! I might have to check out the buzzathon 👀 But honestly, I cannot, I have so much to read LOL. I'm also participating in Ellen's diversity BINGO though because I love that it's a whole year. I'm hearing a lot about The Frozen River -- I cannot wait to see what you think about it because I'm still 50/50 on whether or not if I should read. LOL Huge mood with awkward angles to show off the TBR cart. Why is it so hard to show off our TBR carts 😂 Maybe we need a taller one. Extremely solid picks! Also the buddy read mention reminded me, you had The Naturals right? Did you want to buddy read it? 🤩 I heard The Ember in the Ashes is SO good. I can't wait to see what you think about it -- I love lots on my January TBR but I think I'm looking forward to Murder on the Orient Express the most because I'm dying for some good mysteries after the rough start into the genre 🫢

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Happy new year to you too!! Haha totally fair, no need to overwhelm yourself especially since you’re already doing diversity bingo. I’m 75% into The Frozen River and am really enjoying it! It’s definitely on the slower side and very historical (set in 1700’s) but overall I am liking it. Full review to come, haha. I know I felt so awkward filming this!! I’ll need to set it up better before I start filming next time 😂 And yes I’d love to buddy read The Naturals! Any time of year you’d like to read it in particular? I’m down for whenever! And yes I can’t wait for Ember in the Ashes, I got my library book so I’ll definitely be reading it! Very excited to hear your thoughts on the Agatha Christie book, I also need some good mysteries so if you like it I’ll add it to my list.

[@darlenefarley8193]

I am reading The Frozen River now and I'm enjoying it

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Oh nice!! I’m 75% in and really enjoying it too! Although very mad about all these terrible men 😡😂

[@krisreviews]

Ive been wanting to try One Of Us Is Lying... can't wait to hear your thoughts 🤗

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Oh nice! I’ve heard it’s a good audiobook so I’m hoping to listen to it when it comes in from the library. Looking forward to it! 😊

[@mansparekh]

It's fun knowing what challenges you're participating in! I also want to partake in BooksandLaLa's buzzword reading challenge in some way. I have requested Ember in the Ashes through the library and am really looking forward to it. I hope you get access soon and enjoy it!

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Yes I’m excited for these challenges for sure, hope you can join in on Buzzwordathon! Oh nice, I just got my book from the library as well and can’t wait to read it 😀 Are you joining the Fable group, or did you just happen to request the book to read on your own??

[@mansparekh]

@ just happened to request on my own! I’m still behind with downloading Fable 🙈 idk what’s holding me back

[@LibrariesandLattes]

@@mansparekh nice! I just remembered that it was on your fantasy winter TBR so that makes sense, haha. And totally get that! It’s pretty fun and easy but I always forget to use it!

[@sheisbookedandbusy]

Hi love!! What an amazing video! You have such a sweet, comforting vibe! 🩷🩷 I hope you can join us to read An Ember in the Ashes!

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Aww thanks for watching!! That’s so sweet of you to say ❤️ I’m so excited, I already got my copy from the library and am waiting on the audiobook so I’ll be reading it this month for sure!

[@ellenmadebookclub]

I’ll need to rewatch this as usual haha had fun in the chat though! 😅

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Haha I appreciate the commitment 😂 Yes it was fun, thanks again for joining in!!

[@ellenmadebookclub]

⁠​⁠@@LibrariesandLattesI wanna know what your tbr is 😂 I’m taking the entire month of January for the end of year stuff and goals and things. I saw so many people posting their top ten at like the start of December and I’m like the year isnt over yet!!! 😂 I need time to analyze ^^ Thank you for joining the diversity challenge and for the shoutout! 😊 Homegoing totally goes for pattern! At least your cover. I should also put the challenge prompts in some jars, I just have a big spread of all of it but I want it to be fun (=a game) as well. I will not be sticking to the specific months though, I’ll just jump around. So jars could work for that! Loved the video just as much second time around 😊

[@LibrariesandLattes]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@ellenmadebookclub haha well same to you, it’s always fun to be in the know!! And yeah I feel behind too, everyone gets so ahead of the game! 100% need time to process and analyze too, haha. Very excited for the diversity challenge and Homegoing! I guess I assumed the Buzzwordathon had to line up with the months exactly but that’s good to know you can bounce around! I’m too much of a perfectionist though, I may try to keep it within the months 😉 Thanks for watching and commenting (twice), appreciate it! ❤️
