✔2. One Day All This Will Be Yours - fin 1/3
✔3. One of us is Next - fin 1/11
✔4. On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century - fin 1/18
✔5. Open Season (Joe Pickett #1) - fin 1/24

Also marked these four as DNF:
The Owl Killers
The Overton Window
Our Hidden Conversations

Although, I should point out that I thought Our Hidden Conversations was wonderful. I gave it 4 stars. I marked it DNF only because it is so long, and I skimmed some parts of it.
