I can’t believe that it’s already the end of January. How is the new year going for you? Did you make any resolutions? If so, have you been keeping them?
Each year, I try to make book resolutions. By that, I mean…I plan to create different reading goals each month. Do I always stick to these resolutions? Of course not. But I try! And making the resolutions is half the fun for me.
For January, my resolution was to read a book by a new-to-me author. I kept seeing lots of interesting reels for BUTCHER AND BLACKBIRD by Brynne Weaver, so I thought I’d give that book a try. In case you’re not familiar with the title, the premise is that two serial killers fall in love. Considering that I am more than a bit serial killer obsessed (I spend too much time researching them for my books!), I had to give the story a try. I loved Brynne Weaver’s voice, and I found the book to be really different and fresh. I love fresh stories! Now I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the trilogy.
Here are a few of my other book resolutions for the coming months:
February…read a new genre (or read one I haven’t read in the last four months!).
March…fall back in time and read a historical suspense.
April…trope season. Pick a favorite trope and dive into a book.
May…friend’s choice. I will have a friend pick a book for me, and I will read it without even looking at the blurb.
What other book resolutions should I add for the remaining months? I’d love to hear your ideas!
And may 2024 be a fabulous year for everyone!

Or have they finally met their match?
