I read this as an audiobook, but liked it so much I bought my own copy to revisit and annotate in the future. This is the type of nonfiction book that hits my reading sweet spot. It is a series of essays that are part memoir, part “self-help” (or self care/personal inspiration, as I like to say), part deep dive into a wide variety of topics that all connect to the topic of winter ranging from the hibernation habits of dormice to the Stonehenge Solstice celebration. This is probably my least favorite season, and I found her reflections and research to be a fascinating way to start reframing and leaning into appreciation of this time of year made up of cold short days. It’s about simultaneously slowing down and taking care of ourselves when we need times of healing and renewal and finding ways to flourish during literal or metaphorical wintering times in our lives. I truly think and talk about this one at least once a month. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/688689c8c1e26f18d2e74d24/831c170e-c231-4925-88a3-ef1d261075c1/scavengers.jpg Newsletters & Events - Your Curated Reading List for January I wanted to give you something that is a January release, but fair warning. I’ve not read it myself yet to give it a true thumbs up or down. Publishing on January 13, I’m ready to pick this one up for its mother daughter story and a setting that is basically my regional backyard (Utah). After losing her high-paying New York City job, Bea retreats to Salt Lake City to stay with her free-spirit mother and regroup. Her mother talks her into joining her on an escapade to follow the clues for a treasure that has been hidden by an antiquities dealer. It’s inspired by the real-life decade-long treasure hunt that ended with its 2020 discovery. I’ll be honest, even though I was intrigued by it, I did not make time to read more about this bonkers true story, so I’m ready to start with a fictional account. This is a debut novel, and one thing you will learn about me is that I’m drawn to debut authors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/688689c8c1e26f18d2e74d24/45b86109-84f7-4715-b499-603b3c1b7377/moon+and+back.jpg Newsletters & Events - Your Curated Reading List for January Speaking of debuts. This was literally my last read of the year. I finished the last chapter or two on New Year’s Day. Listen. I really enjoyed Atmosphere and typically have good luck with Taylor Jenkins Reid, and it mostly worked for me. So did I think I needed to pick up another queer female astronaut historical fiction book? Well, actually yes. I am low key fascinated with space exploration and astronauts so of course I was going to read this one. What made this one unique, beyond being a debut, is that the author is Cherokee as is the main character who wants to be the first female Cherokee astronaut. It’s really a story about family and the impact that erasure of your family and cultural history has on your identity and sense of self. It’s about obsessive ambition and its impact on your relationships and sense of self. It’s about finding your space in the world and belonging. Ah! It’s so good. Steph is so frustrating and yet I kept cheering her on, despite it all. Even as a Reese’s Book Club pick, I don’t think it got the attention it deserved. It’s an excellent contribution to contemporary Indigenous literature, and I’m so excited to see what this author does next. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/688689c8c1e26f18d2e74d24/20497a0b-9439-49e9-8d34-ddabb3e76346/emma+2.jpg Newsletters & Events - Your Curated Reading List for January - First of all - so sorry for the image quality… I had difficulty finding a good one with my searches. I feel like this is a bit of a IYKYK situation. This past fall, Meredith on the Currently Reading podcast mentioned she couldn’t stop listening and described the setting as a Victorian era Stars Hollow with quirky and charming residents and traditions. That was enough to intrigue me, and I have been obsessively listening ever since. And although I’m truly tempted to purchase the whole series in print, I will say the audiobook is the way to go if you listen to books. The narrator Genevieve Gaunt truly brings Emma and everyone in St. Crispian’s to life. This is completely out of my reading comfort zone, so here’s why it works for me. Brower has managed to write about the universal themes of coming of age, family and friendship, and the importance of community in a relatable and humorous way that is entirely in keeping with the social mores of Victorian times while also making it seem relevant to a contemporary audience. And although Emma is truly written as a product of her time, she is also a curious and independent spirit who is determined to find creative ways to define her own place in the world despite the expectations of society. I can’t fully express how much joy and comfort this series has brought to me at this time in my life. Added bonus: Check out Beth Brower’s website. It’s as fun and adorable as the books. https://www.adventureisbooked.com/news-and-events/client-recommendations-january-26 monthly 0.5 2026-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/688689c8c1e26f18d2e74d24/cb881bdc-2de2-4a49-a89d-dd69c11321aa/alchemyst.jpg Newsletters & Events - Recent Client Recommendations The ordinary lives of teenage twins Sophie and Josh Newman are upended when they encounter the legendary alchemist Nicholas Flamel. They are drawn into a secret world of magic, myth, and an ancient battle against the evil Dr. John Dee for control of the powerful Book of Abraham the Mage, crucial for saving or destroying humanity's future. It blends our world with magic, real-world history, mythology and alchemy along with a fast paced adventure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/688689c8c1e26f18d2e74d24/1b7b1bb4-d966-4059-9ff0-50df48067140/koshersoul.jpg Newsletters & Events - Recent Client Recommendations For her I selected KosherSoul: The Faith and Food Journey of an African American Jew by Michael W. Twitty. Chef Twitty explores the intersection of his Black and Jewish identities through the lens of food and culinary history as part of his own journey in understanding his connection to Judaism. It is part memoir, part historical research, and part exploration of the culture of the Jewish diaspora. It also includes about 50 recipes. https://www.adventureisbooked.com/news-and-events/my-january-26-reading-list monthly 0.5 2026-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/688689c8c1e26f18d2e74d24/302e6ef7-f196-40d7-a44e-d3d4d733b36b/dcc.jpg Newsletters & Events - My January Reading List This trendy book is completely ridiculous and addictive. You are going to love or hate it. It is a bit of an homage to role playing games and is a mix of science fiction (aliens destroying our world) and fantasy (monsters and magic) where the surviving humans are forced to try and stay alive and complete levels in the underground dungeons all while it is being watched as an intergalactic gameshow. It is filled with dark humor and satire. I’m going to at least try the next couple, but who knows if I will be able to finish the whole series. I’ve been told the audio is excellent, but it’s only available through A**moz@n, which I opt out of if I can. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/688689c8c1e26f18d2e74d24/de73d108-2da6-4ed7-85f7-16664a4ba587/unknowable.jpg Newsletters & Events - My January Reading List This may sound weird, but I’ve not read Brown’s popular first book (The Book of Doors) yet because it was popular and too many people at the bookstore had already read it. #BooksellerProblems At the end of the year, I was reviewing a list of 2025 “top priority” books I’d made. This caught my attention because I wanted to return to reading more fantasy. It’s considered urban fantasy because it blends magical elements with a real-world contemporary setting, and I’ve found this often works well for me. I don’t mind some world building, but it’s often easier to become immersed when grounded in the familiar. I also like a good secret society storyline and there’s a bookstore! The basic premise is about the existence of a secret society based in a London bookshop, tasked with finding and protecting ordinary objects with magical powers from falling into the wrong hands. One of these objects emerges, setting off a dangerous pursuit around the world. It’s kept me turning the pages so far! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/688689c8c1e26f18d2e74d24/07f5a489-a340-4561-a746-c8a208317921/escape.jpg Newsletters & Events - My January Reading List Although currently on a watching hiatus because I do not have the right streaming service (curses), I’ve been a dedicated and proud watcher of Survivor since season 1. My opinions on the show and why I love it are for another conversation, but I am 100% ready to read this book by a popular former participant. And of course, it doesn’t hurt that the premise is as follows: A propulsive debut novel following a has-been reality TV star and a disgraced producer who get one last shot at fame on a show set on a remote island, only to realize that the stakes are beyond what they ever imagined. It publishes January 27. https://www.adventureisbooked.com/news-and-events/february-2026-events monthly 0.5 2026-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/688689c8c1e26f18d2e74d24/cd4641d8-6926-438d-a7b3-7e7bd63f520a/creative+casita+logo Newsletters & Events - February Events - Surprise Book Adventures at The Creative Casita For my local readers, big news!
