The Bookish Books Reading Challenge: January Book Ideas and Link Up for Reviews
10:13 PM
Welcome to the Bookish Books Reading Challenge! I'm so excited to be launching this challenge. It's going to be a good time.
At the beginning of each month, I will make a post highlighting the books I plan to read for the challenge and providing a place for participants to link up our reviews. Reviews aren't required for the challenge, but it's always fun to see what everyone else is reading and which bookish books are/aren't worth reading. It's also nice to give some love to our fellow participants by interacting with them and their reviews. So, please link up those reviews. I, for one, will read every one that is posted.
My goal is to be "Living in the Library" by reading 30+ bookish books. In order to achieve that number, I'll try to read 2-3 a month. Here are the ones I'm planning to read in January:
The Blackout Book Club by Amy Lynn Green—This historical novel about a woman who becomes an unlikely librarian in Maine during World War II sounds intriguing.
The Littlest Library by Poppy Alexander—Amazon had this one on Kindle for $1.99, so I snatched it up. It's about a grieving woman who opens a library in an old red phone box, bringing a town together and comfort to her own soul.
Booked for Trouble by Eva Gates—I enjoyed the first book in this cozy mystery series, so I'm looking forward to the second.
Reading the Stars from Book Riot—I'm not a believer in horoscropes and astrology, but I still think they're fun. When combined with books? Irresistible!
What bookish books are you planning to read this month?
Challenge participants: Please leave a link for your January reviews using the widget below.

Comments make me feel special, so go crazy! Just keep it clean and civil. Feel free to speak your mind (I always do), but be aware that I will delete any offensive comments.
P.S.: Don't panic if your comment doesn't show up right away. I have to approve each one before it posts to prevent spam. It's annoying, but it works!

DeleteI hope you enjoy hosting and participating in this challenge. I already have a few challenges I'm doing. Otherwise, I'd join you. I just don't do well with too many challenges or I get overwhelmed.

ReplyDeleteOh, good! I enjoyed BY BOOK OR BY CROOK, so it makes me happy that the next books in the series are even better.
DeleteThe Littlest Library was a cute read. I'm reading The Last Chance Library this month for this challenge; so far it's a lot of fun. :D
ReplyDeleteTHE LITTLEST LIBRARY sounds cute. I'm excited to read it. THE LAST CHANCE LIBRARY is one I want to read as well. I just love bookish books :)
DeleteA lighthouse library sounds like a great setting for a cozy mystery series! I'll have to check that one out.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm not sure how realistic a lighthouse library is, but it makes for a fun fictional setting!
DeleteI love bookish books, so will be linking up to this challenge Susan. It should be fun.
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm thrilled that you'll be joining us, Carla.
DeleteGoing to look into The Littlest Library because what's not to love about a library in an old red phone box!
ReplyDeleteRight? So fun!
