February 2025 Hopefuls (AKA My TBR)

I’ve really enjoyed having a monthly TBR again so far this year. So, I’m back to make a new one for February. You can find what I hoped to read in January here, and I plan to do a wrap-up at some point in the near future. Be on the lookout for that… Without further ado, let’s dive into my February 2025 hopefuls!

New-to-Me Authors I Discovered in 2024 – Top Ten Tuesday

Top Ten Tuesday - Books Set in a School

Today I’m participating in Top Ten Tuesday, which was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each week there is a new theme/topic, and participants choose ten books that fit it.

This week’s theme is New-to-Me Authors I Discovered in 2024. I read quite a few authors last year that I’d been wanting to try for quite some time. It made narrowing down this list kind of difficult. lol. I’ve included both the authors and the book that made me fall in love with their writing. All covers link to Goodreads in case something catches your eye. 🙂

First Lines Fridays (100) – January 24, 2025

First Lines Fridays title card

First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?

  • Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
  • Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
  • Finally… reveal the book!
