I am only getting the chance to post this now.

I was hoping to finish The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese but managed to do that last night.

I am also hoping to read:
The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah
East of Eden by John Steinbeck
The Plantagenets: The Warrior Kings and Queens Who Made England by Dan Jones
Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult

I will also be continuing to read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling (one chapter per week) as I'm currently listening to a podcast which discusses each chapter in depth. It's very interesting so far. I think I have about six chapters left to finish so I will not finish it until May.
