What I'm Reading Next (52)

I always gravitate towards more thrillers in the winter, so I have added a few to my list along with some exciting new historical reads.  There's a lot of books on my January TBR list and I probably won't get to them all, but a girl can dream, right? Let me know what you think!

 

1.  Our Kind of People by Carol Wallace 

I love reading about NYC's Gilded Age, which I think is such a fascinating time period.

2.  Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins 

I really enjoyed reading thrillers when it's cold out and I liked The Wife Upstairs when I read it last winter.  This novel is being described as a Gothic suspense; plus, it takes place on a Pacific Island!

3.  Violeta by Isabel Allende

There's been a lot of buzz for this sweeping historical novel that spans many years. I have heard great things about Allende's writing, but haven't read any of her work, so I am looking forward to reading this novel!

4.  The Magnolia Palace by Fiona Davis

Fans of historical fiction can't go wrong with Davis. Her latest novel is about a famous NYC Gilded Age mansion and the secrets within.

5.  Hotel Portofino by J.P. O'Connell

I hear this book is perfect for fans of Downton Abbey. It takes place on the Italian Rivera and will be a show on PBS in 2022.

6.  The Siren of Sussex by Mimi Matthews

Matthews has a new series called Belles of London and it takes place in Victorian High Society. Yes, please! I love a good historical rom-com mash up. 

7.  Verity by Colleen Hoover 

Somehow I have never read this much-talked about novel. I recently received it for review, so I can't wait to start this psychological thriller everyone seems to love.

8.  The Last Dance of the Debutante by Julia Kelly

I have really enjoyed Kelly's novels in the past, so I have high hopes for this one; however, I just read a novel on the last debutantes presented to Queen Elizabeth II, so I hope Kelly brings something new to the topic.
