January 2021 Review Posts Round Up

New year, new idea . . .

I thought it might be interesting to try doing this at the end of each month . . . mind you, I don’t guarantee to keep it up!

Here are the thirty-four books I’ve posted reviews for during January 2021 . . . Anyone would think we’ve been on lockdown and not going anywhere or seeing anyone but close family, giving me lots of time to escape into some fantastic books. I’ve shared the covers for ones I’ve given 5/5* …… If you want more information on any of the books, each heading is also a link to my review for that book.

I have to say a huge thank you to all the publishers who let me read their books via NetGalley or ARCs and to the Blog Tour Organisers who enabled me read books to join in their tours! Next month is shorter, so I don’t anticipate reading quite so many books – though we’re still in lockdown so you never know! I hope you’re staying safe, keeping well and finding some great books to escape into through these troubled times.
