JOMPBPC 2/1/25 February goals
(Don't know if I'll get to all of them but this is what's next on tbr)
February 2025 TBR--
February is the month of NetGalley ARCs. I have four of them to read this month as well as one Kindle read and one physical (re)read. This will probably be the longest TBR for the first quarter of the year, but I'm still hoping to fit a mood read or two into the month if there's time.
The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett (reread)-- A Holmes and Watson style mystery set in a fantastical world. In this one we follow Ana Dolabra, an brilliant investigator, and her assistant Dinios Kol who must solve a murder when a tree spontaneously erupts out of a high Imperial officer's body. I remember having so much fun reading this one last year and I can't wait to go back to it.
The Moon the Sun Forgot by B.J. Wagner (NetGalley)--I have been longing for good SciFi ever since I finished The Expanse years ago. And I'm really hoping this will help fill the void. Set in the depths of Europa's subsurface ocean, we follow Kassia McCullough as she attempts to enact revenge on the man she holds responsible for her father's suicide. When his half-brother escapes from prison, Kassia may just have her chance to capture her elusive and powerful enemy. Revenge SciFi Adventure? Say less.
You Deserve to Know by Aggie Blum Thompson (NetGalley)-- Neighbors Gwen, Aimee, and Lisa share playdates and coffee mornings as well as their deepest secrets on their tranquil street in East Bethesda. This seemingly idyllic world becomes a web of deception, betrayal, and revenge when Gwen's husband is found murdered. The GoodReads for this one has a very short synopsis but I'm still so interested. I think my main hope for this Mystery is Rich People Drama and/or toxic relationships.
Shoot Your Shot by Lexi LaFleur Brown (NetGalley)-- I want to start by saying that I know I haven't had the best luck in the past with hockey romance. Sometimes I love the hockey, sometimes I love the romance. Rarely do I love both. But on GoodReads it says this author is an NHL insider who is publishing her "steamy and superstitious hockey rom-com debut" which means I have to try it. Right? As a hockey fan, how could I not? In this one, Jaylen Jones doesn't secure an NHL contract at the end of training camp and worries that his career is over. But after a one-night stand his luck turns around. Now he's determined to keep tattoo artist Lucy around as his lucky charm. We've seen that sort of hockey romance before but I'm really hoping this author manages to bring a new inside look to it this time.
The Vengeance by Emma Newman (NetGalley)-- Morgane grew up at sea, daughter of the pirate captain of the Vengeance, raised to follow in her footsteps as scourge of the Four Chains Trading Company. But when Anna-Marie is mortally wounded in battle, she confesses to Morgane that she is not her mother. The captain of the enemy ship reveals he was paid to kill Anna-Marie and bring Morgane home to France and her real family. Her quest reveals a world of decadence and darkness in which monsters vie for control of royal courts and destinies of nations. Sooo, when you type in the title of this one in the Goodreads search bar, it says the title of this series is going to be The Vampires of Dumas. Piracy? Vampires? I'm into it...Dumas? As in....Alexandre Dumas? As in The Count of Monte Cristo? Tell me we're going where I think we're going with this series.
Dancing with the Single Dad by Whitley Cox (Kindle)-- This is the book I'm using this month to fulfill my goal of reading Romance Subgenres that I don't typically read. Last year I purchased the first box set for this series (books 1-4) so I plan on using them for the first four months of the year. I didn't love book one so I'm a little nervous for this read. In this one, we follow another Single Dad of Seattle who decides to put his daughter in dance classes and discovers a romance with the dance teacher. I'm hoping this one will be a little better than the first of the series.
Overall, I'm hoping for a good time with the reread and the arcs. I do have low expectations for the Kindle Romance, but maybe going in with low expectations will help the reading experience.
it's (finally) february 🩷 so help me pick what romance book to read next!
