Favorite Books of January

It’s Friday, so guess what we’re doing today? We’re fangirling! Fangirling on Friday is hosted by Books in the Skye. Since it’s the first of the month, we’re going to talk about the best books I read last month.

Is The Queen of Nothing out yet? Because I’m definitely in need of an ARC of that book. Stat. The Wicked King was an amazing book. If you liked The Cruel Prince, you won’t be disappointed in it’s sequel.

Books that come out at the beginning of the year are sometimes at a disadvantage when it comes to my “Best Books I Read for the First Time in 20XX” list, because by the time the end of the year comes around, I sometimes forget how great the books I read at the beginning of the year were. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if The Wicked King ends up making my “best of” lists this year.

What is it that makes books set in historical France so good (and so popular) this winter? Spectacle was another great book that I read in January. Other books set in historical France you might be interested in are Enchantée and The Gilded Wolves.

Spectacle was one of those books that was hard to put down (but I had to, because I had to go to bed). Will it make my end of year list? Maybe. Again, this book is at a disadvantage because I read it in January, but whether it makes my end-of-year lists or not, I’m pretty sure it’s going to get a lot of mentions on Top Ten Tuesdays this year.

Well, that’s enough fangirling for now! Next week, we’re going to talk about favorite diverse reads. I might have to list several because some of my absolute favorites I already fangirl over all the time, So maybe I’ll fangirl over those AND some others just for there to be a little more variety.
