January has been an awesome month. I’m starting 2024 off right. Not only did I start blogging again, I’ve filled my reading bucket quite full. I participated in Bout of Books at the beginning of the month. I finished one book during the event and three others during the rest of the month.
My favorite book this month is a toss up between REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES by Shelby Van Pelt and BOOK LOVERS by Emily Henry. Two very different stories and genres, but I loved both. I didn’t really have a least favorite book this month.

How did your January go? What are your plans for February?
You’ve had an excellent reading and blogging month! Way to go!!
Thanks, Margaret! 😀 It’s nice to be back in both senses.
Oh, I liked both Dating Dr. Dil and Where the Crawdads sing! I look forward to seeing what you think of them.
Awesome! 😀 I look forward to reading both.
I’m so happy to have you back around the blogosphere (not that I’ve been around much either lol).
Glad to hear you liked Book Lovers. I’m still plugging away with Remarkable Bright Creatures and enjoying it.
Thanks, Karen! 😀 I’m happy to be back. I’ve missed everyone. I’m glad you’re still blogging too even if it’s only once a month or two. I’m glad we’re friends on Instagram at least, even though I don’t really post much on there.
I’m glad you’re still enjoying RBC. I’m interested to see what you think after you finish it. 😀
Sounds like you enjoyed your January books! The first two you show for your February reads look good too, will be excited to see what you think! Hope February is starting off good for you!
I did. I chose some good books to read. 😀 I hope you have a good February too.
Hey, an average of four and half stars for your first few reads of the year is pretty good! Hoping that bodes well for the rest of 2024, too.
I’m looking forward to hearing what you think of Where the Crawdads Sing; one person I know absolutely loved it, but another person absolutely hated it — and these folks normally have very similar taste!
Thanks! 😀 I hope my average rating’s a sign of good things this year too. 😀 I’ve heard the same thing about WtCS. People either love it or hate it. There doesn’t seem to be much in-between.
