January can be a dismal month. It is often when we see the worst of our weather here in the UK, and if it is a little milder than it is generally grey, damp and dreary.
However, I prefer to look at it as a new beginning. We have already passed the shortest day, or winter solstice, and can now look forward to the days being longer and spring being the next season to grace our lives.
Most of all, it is the beginning of a whole new year of reading. I have already got a ridiculously long list of books that I want to read this year, and if I go without sleep then I may get them all read! Realistically, I usually manage between 8 - 10 books each month and here are those that I hope to read this January.
A Terrible Kindness by Jo Browning Wroe
More Than I Love My Life by David Grossman
To Paradise by Hanya Yanagihara
What a Shame by Abigail Bergstrom
Tears of the Giraffe by Alexander McCall Smith
Violeta by Isabel Allende
Cesare by Jerome Charyn
The Passenger by Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz
Devotion by Hannah Kent
The Paris Bookseller by Kerri Maher
