Book of the Month List

Book of the Month (BotM) is a monthly subscription box that I joined in January 2022. Unfortunately, I’m not always able to read my BotM books right away and I’ve amassed quite the TBR.

In 2024, I want to read at least 15 of my BotM books. Below is a list of the BotM books I haven’t read yet. I’ll cross the books out as I read them.

Only the books I’ve read in 2024 will show on mobile phones.

The Last Thing He Told Me

“

It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s StoneJK Rowling

“

It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of SecretsJK Rowling

“

There is no life where you can be in a state of sheer happiness for ever. And imagining there is just breeds more unhappiness in the life you’re in.

The Midnight LibraryMatt Haig

“

Don’t wait for your life to magically come together–it’s your work to do. Every day, every moment, you are making your life from scratch. Today, take one step, however small, toward creating a life you can be proud of.

Keep Moving: Notes on Loss, Creativity, and ChangeMaggie Smith

“

Don’t let yourself get caught up in what-ifs. That way madness lies.

The It GirlRuth Ware

“

It’s one of those feelings, happiness. One of the ones you don’t really notice is gone until it comes back.

The No-ShowBeth O’Leary

“

The only way to learn is to live.

The Midnight LibraryMatt Haig

“

Maybe home isn’t a place. It’s a feeling. Of being cared for and understood. Of being loved.

Dear Emmie BlueLia Louis

“

That’s the problem with depression–it discourages its own treatment.

The Hollow CityDan Wells

“

What you see and what you hear depends a great deal on where you are standing. It also depends on what sort of person you are.

The Magician’s NephewCS Lewis

“

Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it.

Anne of Green GablesLM Montgomery

“

Love is scary: it changes; it can go away. That’s part of the risk.

To All the Boys I’ve Loved BeforeJenny Han

“

Fear is a hungry beast. The more you feed it, the more it grows.

Stalking Jack the RipperKerri Maniscalco

“

Faith is a very personal thing, really. Just because you don’t meet with a group of people once a week who believe everything exactly the way you do doesn’t mean you don’t believe in something.

The Paper MagicianCharlie N. Holmberg

“

I don’t have arachnophobia (irrational fear of spiders) because fear of spiders is perfectly rational so I refuse to recognize it as a “disorder.”
