❄️January: New Year, New Books! ❄️Hello 2025, I hope you’ll be good to me. My goals this month are to celebrate the new year by reading new books, either a newly released book or an author's debut. Since this month is all about fresh starts & new beginnings I also want to read some self-help books & a genre I’ve never read before.
📢 Update 1/2
I read The Martian by Andy Weir & killed two birds with one book. It’s his debut novel and sci-fi which is a genre I’ve never read before.
📢 Update 1/13
I read Breakup Bootcamp to fulfill my goal of reading a self-help book this month; I feel helped.
📢UPDATE 1/15
I finished reading all the books on my monthly TBR halfway through the month :) I’m really happy about that because a lot of them were really good reads & now I will just read some more!
