Greetings, folks!
In an effort to get out of my multi-year reading slump, I’ve started doing blind reads of books.
Shopping by the cover and description (with very basic checks for things I strongly dislike) has been the flavor of the day.
I’m attempting to do a non-fiction and a fiction book each month.
Here are my January 2026 reads!
Note: I have not finished reading these, so I’m not reviewing them. This is just what I’m reading. (But spoiler alert, I have no burning desire to DNF either of these books.)
I’ll start with the non-fiction.
I am reading The Ship Beneath the Ice by Menson Bound. This is about the hunt for Shackleton’s Endurance in the Antarctic. It’s absolutely fascinating so far.
For the fiction title, I’m reading Rings of Fate by Melissa de la Cruz. I got a copy from the Book of the Month Club, as that is my fiction book resource for the next twelve months.
I am not really a fan of present tense books, but it’s tolerable as far as present tense books go, so take that as you will. I’m on page 26, so I’ve finished a chapter and that’s about it.
Your mileage will vary. It’s a dual POV in first person, and that part I DO like.
Onto the site updates:
I am setting up single site domains for my pen names so people who don’t appreciate the blog element can go bookmark the sites and just see what books are out in which series. It’s a work in progress, but the framework of the first few sites are live, which you can find here:
I will be continuing to work on the site here, but these sites are other options for those who want something similar and with less direct contact with me.
Because yes, yes it is okay to not get involved with authors directly!
These sites are for those who want info without direct contact.
You can also follow my various author personalities on Bookbub here:
Note: I will be doing updates to my bookbubs to make sure all the books are added, etc… it’s just a lot of work and there is only one of me, so please be patient.
Happy reading!
Reminder: Burn, Baby, Burn is still on sale for $0.99 for a short period of time. (Another week.)
