January TBR

For this first month of the year I kinda just want to mood read and pick up the books that pique my interest the most when I feel like reading. These are the books that are the highest on my TBR at the moment that I will most likely be choosing from:

Worst Books of 2022

These are the books that I just didn’t quite enjoy this year! I definitely tried to be more honest with my reviews and give more 1 and 2 stars if I wasn’t all that into a book rather than just giving it a three like I usually would. I definitely didn’t actively hate any of these book they just weren’t my style and taste!
