Celebrating this first Friday of the year with a quick post featuring three books I’m currently borrowing & four books I currently have hold from the library!

Checkouts

The Light We Carry by Michelle Obama – Like the rest of the world, I really enjoyed Michelle Obama’s Becoming and couldn’t wait to read her follow-up book, The Light We Carry. There are still many stories about her life and life post- Becoming, but the book has more advice and strategies for dealing with uncertainty.

Five Survive by Holly Jackson – Again like nearly every reader ever, I loved Holly Jackson’s A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series in 2022, so I’m looking forward to reading this YA crime thriller.

The Rewind by Allison Winn Scotch – The Rewind is a New Years-set book that I didn’t get to in that week between Christmas and NYE, but there’s still enough new year vibes for this mood read.

Holds

I featured Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun, The Reunion, and Begin Again (all January 2023 releases) in my anticipated books of 2023 post, but Rachel Hawkins’s The Villa was a recent addition. I haven’t yet read a thriller from Rachel Hawkins, but I’ve been seeing more & more rave reviews for The Villa, and it’s the Bad on Paper podcast book club pick for January.
