January 2025 Round Up

A beige square with dar grey text surrounded by twenty-eight colourful book covers. Text is black and says January Reading.

In January, I read 24 books for review, and a few other things thar I have going on at the moment.  It’s going to be quite a mix throughout the year, and some months may have more reviews than other months. One of my challenge prompts was an audiobook, and I chose the ‘First Chapters’ listed here as it was the author reading out the first chapter of her book, and I don’t listen to audiobooks, as I tend to lose my focus on them. Some of the books here are March releases, and those reviews will be up then. There are more reviews to come throughout the year and next few months.
