What I read in January! ❄️

2/1 Edited to

... Read moreJanuary is the perfect month to dive into some intriguing books, especially when the cold weather makes staying indoors more inviting. This past month, I immersed myself in a variety of genres that truly captured the winter spirit. Among the highlights was 'The Sinner,' a compelling psychological thriller that kept me guessing with its twists and character depth. I also enjoyed 'The Sacrifice,' which delves into complex moral dilemmas, making it a thought-provoking read that lingered in my thoughts long after finishing it. Exploring books set in wintery or atmospheric environments added to the cozy reading experience, enhancing the #winterbooksvibes. The mix of suspenseful plots and reflective storytelling provided a perfect balance for January downtime. If you're looking to build your own January reading list, I recommend selecting books that not only intrigue you but also fit the season’s mood. Whether searching for thrillers, reflective dramas, or heartfelt narratives, there's a winter read for everyone. Curling up with a good book during chilly months can be incredibly rewarding and a wonderful way to unwind.

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.

A very slow start to the year but this year is kind of about slowing things down when it comes to reading. A very mixed bag and very random picks for me. Starting with a romance?! So weird for me! Romantic Comedy was fairly solid. The Fury was pretty awful IMHO. I’m sorry but the writing was bad 😬.
