What about you? What did you read in January? Did you find common threads running through them?
Kudos on managing to find Bush so many good books: some are on my TBR already.
I barely managed to read 8, and some were a bit of guilty light reading for pleasure.

light reading has it’s place. Like candy. I enjoy a bit of both at times 🙂
