I've been wanting to do a monthly book review for a while and since it's the new year, I figured now would be a good time to start. I managed 3 books this month, which if a fair amount for me. I can add them to my Day Zero list. Here's what I read this month:
Sleeping Beauties: A Novel
by Stephen King
This is my first Stephen King novel. I know, I know. I'm late to the game. I could not put this book down. To the point where I may have ignored Rick a teensy tiny bit a few times while he was trying to talk to me while I was reading. Sorry, honey! Anyway, Sleeping Beauties centers around a women's prison and is about this weird phenomenon that causes a weird cotton like substance to start cocooning itself around women all around the world once they fall asleep. Oh yeah, and they don't wake up. If you enjoy sci-fi/mystery, you'll like this one.

A List of Cages
by Robin Roe
Oh man, this book. It look me a bit to get into it because it jumps characters a bit but once I was in, I was in. It's about two teenage boys, Adam & Julian and it's just heartbreaking and heartwarming all in one. I definitely might have cried a few times. (Plus Robin liked one of my posts on Instagram so I'm kinda famous now.)

Paris for One and Other Stories
by Jojo Moyes
by Jojo Moyes
This book is actually a collection of short stories, the longest being Paris For One. I love all of Jojo's books so it was no surprise I liked this one as well. It's about a girl who gets stood up by her boyfriend on their trip to Paris so she hangs out for the weekend and meets a dashing young French waiter. Que the romance. A good quick read.
Truly Madly Guilty
by Liane Moriarty
by Liane Moriarty
For the life of me, I just couldn't get into this book. I don't know why. This is the second attempt at reading it and I manage a few chapters and just put it down. Maybe I'll give it another go next month.
