What I’ve Read:January

2025/1/31 Edited to

... Read moreIn January, I explored an exciting array of books, particularly immersing myself in the UCMH Series and the captivating title 'Onyx Storm'. The UCMH Series brings a delightful mix of romance and humor, showcasing diverse love stories, perfect for readers seeking fresh narratives in LGBTQ literature. The series has been praised for its authentic representation and engaging characters, making it a must-read for romantic fiction enthusiasts. Additionally, as I navigated through my current reads, I found myself engrossed in the characters' journeys, which often reflect broader themes of acceptance, love, and personal growth. This month, I also delved into the 'Broken Bloodlines Series,' known for its intricate plot twists and rich storytelling that can transport readers to a different world. Such series often spark discussions in book clubs and online forums, where readers can exchange thoughts and recommendations. Don't forget to check out the trending topics in book communities like #recentread and #lemon8bookclub for more insights into what fellow readers are enjoying. January was a great start to the year's reading adventures, and I’m excited to share more insights as I continue my literary explorations!

…it’s time to BULLET JOURNAL! I’m super excited to start out this new year with a new journal! It’s been 2 years since I’ve bullet journalled. Before this journal, I would take bullet journaling so seriously. I would have set plan for each month, making so many designs and trackers. Habit trackers.

So many good reads this month, and super shocked I read 11 books! My goal for the year was 30 and I didn’t think I’d make it. Now, I’m convinced I need to either slow down ORRR change the goal! 🤓 Any recommendations for romance books? Thinking about doing a series for the month of February.
