Happy March! While in some instances, February flew by, it also feels like it’s been February forever, so I’m excited for the new month!

January Wrap Up
Hi! So January has officially ended so it’s time for my wrap up! This year, I wanted to make my wrap ups slightly different from last year. I will still give the stats and short thoughts on all the books I read, but I will no longer include a TBR for the next month, as I never actually stuck to it. As well, I’ll be listing the genres of each book to give a bit more info on what it’s about. I thought at the end of the wrap up, I’d also discuss some non-book related things that I did/completed in the month, like tv shows, movies, or just life…
