January Wrap Up | Great Start To 2024 | Thrillers + Horror

One bookish resolution I had for 2024 was to be more picky when choosing a book to read. I feel like it is working because I had a great start to the year! Let me know if you have any questions about any of the books I mentioned, or any thoughts you had while reading any of these 😄
*I read The Assassin's Blade, but forgot to talk about it in the video! I’m trying to read one sci-fi or fantasy novel a month. It was amazing. I have read it 3x. I have been a Sarah J. Maas Stan for a decade, so I am biased. ✨
Thank you so much to The Eerie Faerie Tales for the recommendation! I love her channel! 🧚‍♀️
Her reads are almost spot on to mine:

I'm so glad you enjoyed Little Ghosts! 🤗

[@donicareads]

I knew your recommendation wouldn’t let me down, and what a great twist! It was a great (but sad lol) start to my year 😆

Reese Witherspoon has an amazing pulse in what a good book is

[@donicareads]

She really does! ✨

I really enjoy your videos

[@donicareads]

Thank you Romy! 😊

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

yay Night Film! wish you liked the ending more! I did enjoy it. Glad you found it to be a page turner though! Hope to re-read it this year. oh! and I have Blacktop Wasteland on my TBR for this month so hope I can still squeeze it in. I just started a 700+ page book so that will keep me occupied for a week 😂

No regrets! Haha it was very captivating. I wanted to watch a Stanislas movie. I know I’d be the leader of his fan club 😆 Oh gosh I have vowed off long books for at least February, but good luck on your long book journey! I hope you like it 😁

@@donicareads omg yes would love if some of his movies actually existed! I'm reading Jade Legacy (3rd and final book in the trilogy/The Green Bone Saga) first book was 500 and second book was 600.. just keeps goin' up 😆

I loved razorblade tears! I need to read more of S.A.Cosbys work

[@donicareads]

Yes! 🙌🏽 I think I’m almost through all his releases 🥲
