A tablet lies on dry grass and surrounded by dandelions in a natural outdoor setting. The screen displays the cover of the book Everybody Is in the Place by Emma J. Gibbon. The cover features a colorful, fantastical illustration of a female figure with glowing eyes and curved horns, holding something mysterious in her hands. Stars and swirling cosmic elements fill the background, giving the cover a magical and otherworldly feel. The title text is in bold, colorful letters across the top and middle, with the author's name at the bottom.

Book Photo Sunday Logo

Book Photo Sundays is hosted by Ronyell of Rabbit Ears Book Blog. The purpose is simply to give readers the chance to showcase photos of your books, bookshelves, and other bookish things and share with a like-minded crowd. The hashtag for the overall event is #bookphotosundays.

On this week’s edition of Book Photo Sundays, I’m showing off my January TBR.

Jan 2018 TBR

This month is going to be quite a busy one! Even so, I am hoping to kick the year off right and dive into five books.

The following five books are what I am hoping to read (in no specific order):

  1. On Writing by Stephen King
  2. In This Ground by Beth Castrodale
  3. An Unwanted Guest by Shari Lapena
  4. No Exit by Taylor Adams
  5. Stranger Things: Worlds Turned Upside Down- this one I have already read! Stay tuned for my review 🙂 

Thanks for reading!
What are you hoping to read this month?

    I'm going to ask my library to order a copy of No Exit (keeping my fingers crossed). I'm super curious about it. Great picture and great stack!

    1 down, 4 to go! Not bad at all. I've read two books this year so far, so whoo!! I don't really know what all I'm going to read next, except for Dumplin'. I'm reading it now for my book club next week.

    I was forced to read On Writing in college. It’s the best book about writing I’ve ever been forced to read. Most of them are extremely boring.

      Oooh! What a fun pick for college reading! I agree. I've only had one other book about writing I enjoyed. It was Everybody Writes: Your Go-To Guide to Creating Ridiculously Good Content.
