I've always loved adding to my TBR and I'm constantly looking for books that are going to be published, but I always have too many books I'd like to read and not enough time to get to them.
This year I'm trying to read a few more of the ARCs I receive from NetGalley before they are released instead of continuing to get further and further behind.
One of my favorite reads in January was Laws of Love and Logic by Debra Curtis. Lily and her high school boyfriend seem to have a perfect relationship and have big plans for their futures, until his rage at a boy he believes has hurt Lily changes things forever. But even though decades pass and the two have both moved on with their lives, the love they share in high school is still simmering under the surface.
This Is Not About Us by Allegra Goodman is a novel in stories featuring various members of the Rubinstein family. A family tree helps readers understand the relationships between family members and as each chapter shares a small snippet of the family's highs and lows and everything in between. I love a dysfunctional family novel, but I'm not sure I'd call the Rubinsteins truly dysfunctional; they are a regular family with the normal challenges that life brings.
It's Not Her by Mary Kubica was a fast read. Courtney, her husband and daughter are on a vacation with Courtney's brother and his wife and three kids. When Courtney's brother and sister-in-law are found murdered in their cabin and the oldest daughter, Reese, is missing, Courtney is desparate to find her niece, but also worried that Reese may have had something to do with her parents' deaths. This is a page turner, but I found a few things to be rather hard to believe, and I just couldn't quite get past that.
Despite the fact that February has just started, I am hoping to start on a March release tonight. The days pass quickly and before I know it, February will be coming to an end.
