My January Reading List

January 6, 2023 · In: HOBBIES & RECREATION

As much as I love books and reading, my reading habits have really suffered over the past few years and I really want to turn that around this year. One of my goals to make that happen is to write a reading list for every month! Here’s what is on my January reading list:

(this post contains affiliate links. see disclosure here)

Some of the books on my list go towards some of the reading challenges I’m participating in this year. I’m keeping track of all of it in my Reading Life Planner .

I will be doing a set up video on my YouTube of my Reading Life Planner soon! Stay tuned!

Now for the books that are on my January TBR!


All the Light We Cannot See

I’ve tried listening to this book a couple times and it just hasn’t stuck. I’m currently listening to it now and while it took awhile for me to settle in, I’m over 5 hours in and I’m glad I have over 10 more to go! I’m really starting to see why so many people like this one 🙂

  • The 52 Book Club’s 2023 Reading Challenge – a survival story
  • The A-Z Reading Challenge – Book starting with ‘A’
  • The Booklist Queen’s 2023 Reading Challenge – a character with a disability
  • The 2023 Monthly Key Word Reading Challenge – January key word “All”
  • The Peanut Blossom Book Club Bingo – Listen to an audiobook

At Home with Madame Chic

This is a re-read for me. I really enjoy Jennifer’s voice, her wisdom and perspective and felt like this year was a perfect time to read this book again!

  • The Booklist Queen’s 2023 Reading Challenge – a book that makes you happy

The Only Woman in the Room

This book has been on my shelf for awhile and was on my summer reading list last year! And since I’m a classic Hollywood fan, I should have read it a long time ago!! I cannot wait to dig into this story! I also really like Marie Benedict. I’ve read Personal Librarian, Carnegie’s Maid, The Other Einstein, and Agent 35 and I recommend all of them!

  • The 3×3 Reading Challenge – books set during World War 2

Holy Hygge

I believe I pre-ordered this book shortly after I found out about it. I’ve been interested in learning more about hyyge for a long time. I also own The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living, but haven’t read it all the way through. If I have time, I’d like to read both books this month!

  • The Unread Shelf Project – January Theme – Comfort

Reader Come Home

I picked up this book on a road trip back in 2019 and am just now getting to it. I was introduced to Maryanne Wolf’s work when I was working on my final paper in college. I did a paper on reading and the brain and came across her book Proust and the Squid during my research. I also have that book (and only read parts of it for my paper – still have to read it all the way through!) and was really interested to read this follow up. While the subject is totally in my wheelhouse, I haven’t been reading this kind of non fiction lately so it’s a bit of a readjustment to get into it. Just goes to show what I really need more of in my reading life!


I plan to document my reading life on an Instagram account separate from my main account. I’m @elyssanalanireads if you’re interested in following along!

What are you planning to read this month? I’m always looking for great book recommendations! Feel free to share them below 🙂

Sometimes we think the only rest we should be conc Sometimes we think the only rest we should be concerned about is the kind we get while we're sleeping. But there's so much more to rest than catching zzzzzs! With all the stimulation we get from media, entertainment, packed schedules, meetings, appointments, due dates, and deadlines, we need to be more intentional about creating margin for rest now more than ever! This week, think about how you can dial back the chaos and give your mind and body space to breathe and take a break every so often!⁠
⁠
If need a reminder that going, going, going like the Energizer bunny is actually something to avoid and not something to aspire to, here it is! Give yourself spaces and times to rest throughout your day. In fact, it'll even help you sleep better 😌⁠
⁠
Good Monday Morning, friend 😊⁠

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that a lot o I'm going to go out on a limb and say that a lot of us keep products that we don't use regularly on the off-chance we *might* need it one day. I'm not talking about the necessary things you keep around for emergencies or special occasions, I'm talking about the stuff you keep around for no real reason besides "you'll get to it" or "you may need/want it someday". I'm going to go out on another limb and say 90%, if you do need that stuff later, you can buy it again. For now, get rid of it all and enjoy the clutter free zone you create!⁠
⁠
If need a reminder to get rid of the stuff you never use, and only keep the things you use & love, here it is! And if you need a place to start this decluttering, start with your bathroom and self care products!⁠

Good Monday Morning, friend 😊⁠
