Books that arrive at the bookstore in January 2023 and sneak into your bedside table

New year, new list of resolutions. Some are more difficult to maintain, such as quitting smoking or traveling more (the latter depends on many factors, not exclusively on our wishes), others are easier, such as exercising more or eating healthier. There is one of this last group that is also often repeated year after year: read more. An activity that we all enjoy very much, but for which it is sometimes difficult to find time.

Nothing could be further from the truth: reading more does not mean devouring two books at a time and expanding our library by ten every month. With a while to dedicate if we have some free spacewhether it’s during that daily bus ride or five minutes before bed, it’s enough Gradually make reading a habit. One of the problems we usually encounter when we read constantly is that we lose interest in the books we read and end up leaving them on the bedside table.

Something that has an easy fix: we have to find titles that motivate us, that interest us and make us want to keep reading for hours. Each has its own: there will be those who prefer fantasy novels, fans of mystery, people who are fascinated by biographies… As for tastes, nothing worth redundancy has been written.

If you want to break away from the classics and try something new, today we’ll show you some of the main literary novelties of this January 2023. We’ve made a small selection of titles from all genres hitting bookstores this month that we’re sure will fit perfectly into your personal library:
