10 books to add to your reading list in January

LA Times  

On the Shelf Ten January books for your reading list If you buy books linked on our site, The Times may earn a commission from Bookshop.org, whose fees support independent bookstores. And while it isn’t on this list because it’s impossible to get our hands on, “Spare” a thought for Prince Harry’s Jan. 10 memoir, which is — if nothing else — deeply anticipated. “The Deluge” is a dystopian story of climate collapse that combines a complicated cast of characters in the style of David Mitchell’s “Cloud Atlas” with copious information and research in the style of Stephen King’s “11/22/63.” It’s the people, not the Issues, that will keep you reading — particularly Kate Morris, the fiercest, smartest eco-activist you’ll meet this year. NONFICTION Drinking Games: A Memoir By Sarah Levy St. Martin’s Press: 288 pages, $29 Once a hard-working, hard-drinking New York City twentysomething in New York City, Levy eventually realized that both sides of her life were toxic. While Kidder provides plenty of information about O’Connell, what makes his latest book sing are the stories of the many volunteers who support the “accountability” O’Connell considers essential to changing the system.

Live Mint  

As far as reading books is concerned 2024 hasn’t been a good year for me.
