Happy new year, everyone! 2019 has been an amazing year but all good things must end for a better one to take their place! There is a lot that I'm planning on getting done this new year, starting with this month's TBR pile.

My last month's TBR pile did not go so well. I had four books that I wanted to finish up in December but I'm only halfway through the third book. Anyone else had better luck with their last TBR? 😅 

I don't usually do well when I carry on TBR books from month to month, so I pretty much refresh my pile each month. What I have got this month are four more books that I would like to finish up!

Without further ado, here are my TBR books for January 2020:

1. Brain Rules by John Medina

I love a good non-fiction book as much as the next guy, and this one was recommended to me by a lecturer of mine. I'm at like the 20% mark with this book right now, and I can see why people enjoy it; Medina has a writing style that can weave neurons and hormones into a grand story.

Buy Brain Rules here.

2. The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

I am 100% reading this book because of how highly recommended it is. Funnily enough, I got this book at a discounted price at a sale, and it's a large edition with a few blemishes here and there. I am very excited to discuss this book once I start reading it!

3. Only Time Will Tell by Jeffrey Archer

One of my friends raved about how much she loves Archer's writing, so I picked this up at a discounted price. I don't think this is one of his more popular books but I'm gonna give it a chance and see how it goes.

4. The Lady in the Van by Alan Bennett

Another discounted book! I'm starting to see a trend here! 😉 When I saw Dame Maggie Smith on the cover, I just picked it up, no matter how good or bad it is. To be honest, I didn't know anything about this book when I picked it up. Hopefully, it's a good read and I have a good time.

Have you guys read any of these yet? None of these are new books, so I'm sure quite a few of you have. Let me know in the comments below!

Dec '19 TBR Pile

Hi everyone! How's December going so far? I don't really celebrate Thanksgiving or Christmas but I saw loads of great photos on Instagram!

I'm planning on getting some reading done! Since I will be at my grandma's place for a while, my TBR pile is mostly my Kindle books. I'm currently reading Storm and Fury by Jennifer L. Armentrout (simply amazing!) so I plan on finishing that up this month -- I'm already 66% done! 

The rest of my TBR is gonna focus on lots of new adult and adult books this time around. So, these books made the cut:

1. The Score by Elle Kennedy

So, I whizzed through the first two books in the Off-Campus series, and they were amazing! But then I had this impulse to read something different, so I totally fell out of this series. I need to basically pull back into this series, and hope I haven't forgotten too much from the first two books.

2. King by T.M. Frazier

This is one book that I have heard great reviews on! It's all steamy criminal romance, and I haven't read these in a while so all the more reason to pick this up. 

3. Punk 57 by Penelope Douglas

If I'm being completely honest, this is the book I'm most excited for this month! This will be my first Penelope Douglas book and from what I know, this author is great! I wish I had a physical copy of this book though because that cover is so fantastically colourful! There's certainly a charm to this book.

4. El Diablo by M. Robinson 

I came across El Diablo during my mafia romance phase, and this book has got some great reviews. This came out in 2016 and it's the first book in its series, The Devil. There weren't anymore books published in this series but I'm hoping I'll enjoy as much as I enjoy Cora Reilly's books. Cora Reilly is like my gold standard for mafia romances, so at this point I compare every relevant book to her writing!

That's it for my planned TBR. I've got a whole bunch on my Kindle app but I've got commitment issues when it comes to Kindle books; most of my DNF books are Kindle copies.

What's on your December TBR pile? Have you read any of these books on my pile? Let me know in the comments below!
