I've been wanting to start doing proper wrap ups for years, but I've never really took the plunge and done one. New year, new start, new feature! Time for me to pledge to do a wrap up every month. Wish me luck.

I really am so sorry you've had such a heinous start to the year life wise, but well done for getting your Goodreads off to such a great start . I managed 13 books in January, which I was quite pleased with as I've had a lot on at school and my health's not been great 💜

I am so impressed with how many books you read this month! And it looks like a good list of books too! I am challenging myself to do a wrap-up every month this year as well. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThat's a LOT of reading! Glad you managed to get stuck into so many books. I only finished 1 full book in January, which was Ostrich by Matt Greene. And I loved it!
