Welcome to the first wrap-up of 2023. I can’t believe another month is over. But it’s time for one of my favourite type of posts. I had a fantastic January and a very good start to the year. I’m not too sure what happened but I read quite a bit. In the end, I read 31 books this January. 

I also like the range of books I read this month. While all romance there were some monster and fantasy romances, to contemporary and MC. It made reading this month really easy if I felt myself going into a slump. I would pick up a different genre and read it. I had some fantastic books this month and some that were not so great. It was a range really. And that just made reading so much better. 

So let’s get into it. These are the books that I read this January and they led me to have a very good start to the year. As always these are in no. order.
