This is a light pick. I mostly read this because it fit a #PopSugar challenge prompt, but I did like the story of the return of the KPop star next door. It took a while for it to really get started, though, and it ended a little abruptly.

I‘m so enjoying this new-to-me cozy fantasy genre. What do you get if you mix a former Queen‘s guard, the land‘s most powerful Mage, small town vibes, romance and tea is a cozy book shop? This gem! If you like Travis Baldree‘s Legends & Lattes, you will have a ball with this one too! #BookspinBingo #popsugar #bookriotreadharderchallenge @TheAromaofBooks

The first book I finished in January was The Christmas Holiday. I listened an audiobook. The story itself didn't really grab me. It could have been more fleshed out. Both characters are suffering from loss and want to get away from the Christmas holidays. In the end, life offers them a second chance and I think they deserve it.

I'm starting this one today. I won a copy last year but didn't get around to it. Seems like a mystery set in 1964 Italy.

If anyone born in 1988 needs a book set 24 years prior for the #popsugar reading challenge, this is an option.

I'm kind of loving the cover.

My reading buddy is on my lap, under the blanket, saying, "No pupparazzi this early in the morning."

This is the last book I need to complete my #PopSugar challenge, a book that was published the year I was born.

My second Toews. I noted a bit of overlap with Fight Night-fiction but clearly pulling inspiration from Toews‘ real life. Yoli‘s brilliant concert pianist sister tries to kill herself. Yoli flies from her messy life in Toronto to Winnipeg to be with her sister and mother. But what her sister Elfrida really wants is for Yoli to help her by letting her go. I‘m very glad I‘d previously read Hello I Want to Die by Anna Paperny for real life insight.

This was an interesting read about a young girl who joins a cult in college. However, I definitely think it explores all the ways we can set our fellow humans alight. Sometimes, it's a warming fire. Sometimes, it's an all-consuming conflagration. I would read this author again. #52BookClub A Book You Meant to Read Last Year; #PopSugar A Book You Meant to Read in 2022; February's #BookSpin
