My January 2026 Reads
Was January as long of a month for you as it was for me? It’s February 2nd, so it’s time to share what I read in January: I listened to four audiobooks and read one novella on Kindle. I had one DNF: That’s a Great Question, I’d Love to Tell You by Elyse Myers.
Here are the books I completed in January. They are listed in the order that I finished them:
My Husband’s Wife by Alice Feeney- 3.5 stars
This Story Might Save You Life by Tiffany Crum- 5 stars
The Quiet Neighbor by JD Barker and Adam Roach- 3.5 stars
The Wife Upstairs by Freida McFadden- 4 stars
The Heart-Shaped Box by Lucy Kaufman- 4 stars
My ‘top rated read’ was This Story Might Save Your Life. And a debut novel: WOW. This is a strong five star read that comes out March 10th. I say definitely listen to the audio on this one! My review for this one will come soon! And one of the narrators is JULIA WHELAN!!!
My ‘lowest rated read’ will be my DNF: That’s a Great Question, I’d Love to Tell You. This ends up being a kind of ‘mini-review’: This was a book club read that I DNF’d at about 40% in. I made it 2.5 hours out of 5.5 hours, so it got a great shot at an attempted read. This was supposed to be a memoir, but it was really just stories of events that happened in her life. I have no idea who she is and there was no introduction to herself in this book. It’s like she assumes you know who she is. With that I found myself not caring about these stories with no desire to complete the book.
