Since we’re already well into the month, my January TBR isn’t going to be massive; I’ll save that for next month.
- Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice: This read is for a local book club meeting at the end of the month. After Covid dug its hooks in, I took the rest of 2020 off from book clubs even though they were meeting online because I just wasn’t feeling it. I miss it so much. I miss the community, the discussions, and just interacting with other readers. One of the groups I was most active in has resumed meeting in local parks as a sort of socially distanced picnic and I can’t wait to see them all again! I’ve already started Interview with the Vampire and am hooked! This will be my first completed Anne Rice book, but definitely not the last.
- Intelligent Design Uncensored by William A. Dembski and Jonathan Witt: Let me preface this one by saying I know next to nothing about intelligent design. This book is also for a book club, online through a discussion group at my university. I’m committed to finishing the book and attending the weekly discussions for a couple months, but I have no idea what I’m getting into with this group or the book or if it’s something I will continue to participate in beyond this pick.
- Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris: I’m nearly done with the Sookie Stackhouse series; expect a series review once I’m finished. I plan on definitely finishing Dead Reckoning in January and would like to finish the entire series this month, but it will depend on wait lengths for the audiobooks through Libby.
- Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Silver Eyes by Scott Cawthon and Kira Breed-Wrisley: To be entirely honest, I don’t have high hopes for this one and it’s not one I would have ever found if it wasn’t for my nephew’s obsession with the games. But I’m hoping to be surprised.
- Atomic Habits by James Clear: My husband continuously reminds me of lessons he learned from Atomic Habits, but it’s not one I’ve prioritized. Since November, I’ve been largely committed to being intentional and trying to form intentional habits, so I think it’s time to move this one to the top of the list.
- A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole: This is also a book club book. I started it back in November and have been dragging through it despite enjoying all the nods to familiar locations in New Orleans. The meeting to discuss it has been postponed for months for various reasons, meaning I haven’t had much motivation to fly through it as I normally would.

Of the books you have not yet started which are you most excited to read?
I’ve started all but Intelligent Design Uncensored and Atomic Habits. Between the two, I’m much more excited about and expect to get more out of Atomic Habits.
