How was your month? Did you read anything fan-tabulous? Comment below! I’d love to chat!
One Book More 
January consisted of 8 books, but in a way 9.
Chronicles of Narnia was my first reread
Castle in the Air
House of Many Ways- this is why I said 9. Started January, but finished the 1st of February

Wooh, what a great reading month, Julie! I’m definitely feeling the romance/romantasy/historical romance vibe that you’ve got going on with your reads as I’ve found myself in that same mood this month, too 😂 I hope February is an amazing month for you as well! 😊

I generally like a story with a romance, even if it’s not the focus of the novel. lol I just started A Rogue to Remember and am loving it! 🙂
