This is my 5th year doing the challenge. I will be doing the AlphaKIT, CoverCAT and ColourCAT this year. I also plan to read one non-fiction book every month. Like last year, my goal is to reduce my TBR of books I own.

Shepherding a Child's Heart by Tedd Tripp : 4★
January ColourCAT : Green
January AlphaKIT : S
Non-Fiction
I have no idea why and when I acquired this book as I am not a parent and don't really deal with children. However, I found it in my cupboard of unread books and it met the criteria for 3 of this month's challenges, so decided to read it. (Also, I cannot throw away an unread book)
The first half of the book deals with biblical principles of parenting while the second half gives practical tips on dealing with children of different ages.

The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino : 5★
January AlphaKIT : O & S
Yasuko thinks that she has finally escaped her violent ex but he unexpectedly turns up at her place of work wanting to get back together. She turns him away but he follows her home and forces his way in. A struggle ensues and he ends up dead. While she is debating what her next steps should be, her neighbour arrives and volunteers to help cover up the murder.
The story was different in that the reader knows up front who the murderer is while the police don't and are trying to solve the clues that they have. It is not that straightforward though and there was a surprising twist at the end. I ended up feeling sad for everyone though.
