January 2026 Books
Feb. 23rd, 2026 03:33 pmFirst books post of the year! Sorry it's so late. I finished seven books in January, no DNFs. It was a fairly good reading month, with no books that I absolutely hated.
For new people, this is the general format of the books post: each individual book is under a cut, which is for length and not for spoilers. Any spoilers will be warned for outside of the cut. Under the cut I'll have a quick summary of the book's premise followed by a short review. Some of the reviews will be longer, especially if I'm ranting about a book I didn't like.
( 1. Under the Rainbow by Celia Laskey - 3 stars - Maybe spoilers, but I prefer to think of them as trigger warnings, because the book certainly doesn't give you any )
( 2. I is for Innocent by Sue Grafton - 4 stars )
( 3. The Carnival of Ash by Tom Beckerlegge - 4 stars )
( 4. Lone Women by Victor LaValle - 3.5 stars )
( 5. A Shadow in Summer by Daniel Abraham - 3.5 stars )
( 6. The Bone Orchard by Sara A. Mueller - 4 stars )
( 7. The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King - 4.5 stars )
