JANUARY READING WRAP-UP: TOPPLING THOSE BOOKS OFF THE STACKS -- FEB. 1

I can’t believe that I accomplished as much as I did in January!  I’m off to a good start…with the most notable progress being SEVEN books completed for the Mt. TBR Challenge.  That means that I’m actually whittling down those stacks!

I already have a Cozy Mystery that I’m reading now, which also satisfies one book for the Sequels Challenge.  Speaking of Sequels, I plan to read some of those in the next couple of weeks, as my library finds include a Stephanie Plum book, as well as a Big Stone Gap read.

But let’s not forget the review books.  I’ll be finishing some of those next week.

As for review books already read, check Rainy Days and Mondays next week:  2/6 and 2/7, when I review Deep Connections and bring you all a guest post from the author.

So here are the monthly wrap-up books!
