January 2024… What? It’s over already? I had a phenomenal reading month. Mostly because I had a lot of time for reading, it was super cold for a couple of weeks, and I was trying my very bestest to stay ahead of my ARC list.

Here are the stats:

Total books read: 24
Number of 5-star reads: 6
Number of 4-star reads: 16
Number of 3-star reads: 2
Number of book reviews posted on the blog: 13

Clicking or tapping on the book cover will take you to either my review here or Goodreads.
