Thank you! :)
Does anyone want to buddy read any of the books from my January TBR? I'm also linking my to-read shelf if there are any books that we may have in common that aren't on my January shelf that people want to buddy read, I'm pretty flexible with what I read every month.

I'll take a look tomorrow. Celebrating the new year with my family right now, so I don't have time.

Hey team, I am reading. I just got to find some time tonight to post my reviews.
@Sarah Just noticed there is also a thread for A Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy on the 4th if you want to read it earlier in the month
Hi guys! Sorry I haven't been on much, I have a couple books to post. I'm kinda avoiding buddy reads this month but I will make up for it by reading everything :)
Posted two books this week. I should have a third book done by tonight. I have a day off tomorrow, so I hope to get some reading done while I am recovering from my cold.
Sorry Team! I haven't had time to update yet. With the new year and everything. I have been reading, and I'll try to update tomorrow.
Posting a couple more reviews now :)
Mod
Will finish Circe and post my review later tonight!
