Hello hello and welcome or welcome back to my little bookish corner of the internet. Today I’m sharing my January 2023 wrap up.
January was a month of really starting the ball rolling with a couple of book-related goals, including getting myself to post on TikTok. I started my TikTok account just before we were made homeless, so I then didn’t have a way to post for a year! Now there’s nothing holding me back, other than good old self consciousness. So the fact I managed to get a couple of videos up felt pretty good, and found myself feeling a little bit more confident just for doing it.
Book-wise, I was also planning on a couple of buddy reads, which I managed to follow along with – okay that’s a lie. I finished both of these early. I can find these quite challenging for a few different reasons, so it was great to tick those boxes. Because it went well, I’m going ahead with another one this month too, which I’ll talk about a bit more on social media.

In total, I read 22 books in January, which I’m really pleased with. It’s got me off to a good start for my reading challenge of 200 for the year. Last year ended up being a bit of a right off after a mental health collapse, so I’m hoping this time, things work out very differently!
How did you get on during the first month of January? What was your top read? Let me know in the comments.
And On She Reads 
I am getting into Booktok as well. Well done on getting into reading already this year.

Twenty-two is an incredible amount of books to have read in January; I have finally got back into reading and managed ten books so I am in awe of all these titles you finished! I like the sound of Daisy Darker and The Golden Thread!
